Biography

Dave Burgess was writing songs, recording as an artist, and running the Challenge label for owner Gene Autry. Using studio musicians, he had produced his composition “Train To Nowhere.” With some time left over after a Jerry Wallace session, again using studio musicians, they quickly recorded “Tequila” for a B-side. Of course, that’s the side that became a huge hit, launching the band that they named after Gene Autry’s horse. Over the next 4 years and through many personnel changes, the Champs landed 3 more top 40 hits and 4 additional minor chart 45s. Original “Tequila” musicians (not yet an actual band with a name): Dave Burgess (b: 1931 – Beverly Hills, Cal) Danny Flores (Jul 11, 1929; Santa Paula, Cal – Sep 19, 2006; Westminster, Cal) Buddy Bruce (1930; Springfield, Miss – Jul 1, 2014 – Tulsa, Okla) Cliff Hills (b: Nov 15, 1918 – Pittsburgh, Pen) Gene Alden (b: 1931, Sioux Falls, S Dak) First touring lineup of the Champs: Dave Burgess Danny Flores aka Chuck Rio Gene Alden Dale Norris (b: 1934; Maple Grove, Miss) Joe Burnas (b: Aug 15, 1923, Chicago) Notable early replacement members: Bob Morris, Jimmy Seals, Dash Crofts, Dean Beard, Glen Campbell, Jerry Cole, Johnny Meeks, followed by many other later members.

LYRICS

It started with explosions, the sound
of bombs in your heart,
but just like everything,
just like everything,
the sound would fade
and fall apart.

It's the echo sound of your love,
it started strong but it quickly fades,
it's the echo, echo, echo,
as your heart beat fades away.

Echo, echo, echo of your love,
hits like the desire that burns like the sun,
echo, echo, echo of your love,
hits like desire that reigns.

It was a bang bang to a whisper,
it was a scream to a murmur,
it was a tidal wave to a ripple,
the echo of your love.

The echo, echo is fading
and your heart is hesitating,
like I knew it would,
like it only could,
the echo of your love.

Echo, echo, echo of your love,
hits like desire that burns like the sun,
echo, echo, echo of your love,
hits like desire that reigns.

Echo, echo, echo of your love,
hits like desire that burns like the sun,
echo, echo, echo of your love,
hits like desire that reigns.
