Description

The Champs were an American rock and roll band, most famous for their Latin-tinged instrumental "Tequila". "Tequila" went to #1 in just three weeks, and the band became the first group to go to the top spot with an instrumental that was their first release. The song was recorded at Gold Star Studios in 1958, and in 1959, won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance. "Tequila" was written and sung by the saxophone player Danny Flores, although he was credited as Chuck Rio, because he was under contract to another record label at the time. Flores, who died in September 2006, was known as the "Godfather of Latino Rock". This is the VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1958 US Vinyl Pressing on the Challenge Records label. The catalog # on the spine is: CHALLENGE 601. Record is graded visually by Goldmine standards as EX. Looks amazing after 63 years! The cover is graded as VG+. Record has been stored in a heavy duty anvil case since 2006. Record will be shipped following business day as soon as payment is received. Media Mail WILL TAKE AT LEAST 3 TO 5 WEEKS DUE TO BEING SHIPPED BY BOAT, NOT AIR, from Hawaii. Priority Mail is $16 from Hawaii.
