Danny Flores July 11, 1929 – September 19, 2006), also known by his stage name Chuck Rio, was an American rock and roll saxophonist.

In 1960, he moved to Los Angeles to become a session guitarist. At about the same time, Glen Campbell also joined the Champs, which had a Number One hit in 1958 with “Tequila”. The song was written by bandmember and saxophone player Danny Flores, known as the “godfather of Latino rock”.
