jostber Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 He's the orginial rock'n'roll maniac from the 50's. Little Richard learned something about chops and looks from him in his early days. Esquerita remained pretty obscure though in spite of a lot of great records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 ESQUERITA SHOULD OF BEEN ON BLUE NOTE Esquerita, aka SQ Rita, aka S. Q. Reeder, aka the Magnificent Malucchi. Quite a character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 FWIW, I think Esquerita and Esquivel had the same optometrist. Maybe the same hairdresser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 of course i know esqueviel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Dickey Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Esquirita's other name was Fabulon Lash, he used that one for his campy, gay nightclub act. Esquivel, pronounced "Ess-Key-Vell" Both were fantastic artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 how do u know? according to my sources it was FABULASH what a great gay nickname that is: i bet his 1970s shows made a elton john concert look like seals and crofts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Dickey Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Chewy- Try to find KICKS magazine, issue 5, maybe it was issue 4, Mirriam Linna did an exhaustive article on Esquerita, that is where I got my info. ----HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Dickey Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Chewy- It was in KICKS issue # 3, and the interview was conducted by Mirriam's husband Billy Miller. The Magazine is kinda rare but very revealing. Esquerita also went by: Eskew Reeder, S.Q. Reeder, The Great Molochi....... Fascinating character! Esquerita died a pauper in 1996 (or was it '86?).... ---HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
