Danny Flores (Chuck Rio), who became known as the Godfather of Latino rock, wrote Tequila for a B-side to Dave Burgess's single Train to Nowhere. However, Tequila became much more famous than the A-side and went to #1 in just three weeks. Flores also played saxophone.
It won the 1959 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance at the first ever ceremony held May 4, 1959.
