VocalistYears active 1940 – 1963 Margarita Sierra (January 5, 1936 - September 6, 1963), born as Maria Margarita Suarez Sierra in Madrid, Spain, was a singer, dancer, and actress perhaps best known for her supporting role as the nightclub-singing Cha Cha O'Brien on the early-1960s ABC television show, Surfside 6.
Episodes of Surfside 6 often featured Sierra usually singing in English but occasionally in Spanish. The Cha Cha Twist, a song featured during the show's second and final season, was released as a single on Warner Brothers Records but did not enter the Billboard Top 100 chart.
Sierra tragically died in 1963 at the age of 27 from complications following heart surgery performed a day earlier.[1]
