Tequila song author passes away

Thanks for this update goes to blogger Joe Gringo. Danny Flores, author of the hit (I don't know what other adjective to use) song Tequila, passed away recently.

The song, played by the Champs, only had only one lyric, "Tequila," but, damn, it sure got played a lot - although, I'm not sure it was ever all that popular here in Mexico. (Maybe Sammy Hagar's Mas tequila and Paulina Rubio's Dame otro tequila were given more airplay ... but they both lacked Flores' originality - he made the song in 1958, when tequila wasn't held in very high esteem. Hagar, of course, is pitching Cabo Wabo these days. Rubio ... she's a fresa trying to convince people she's a rebel.)
