1963 Houston. A great year for the Roman brothers and fantastic nights at the Pan American Nite Club on the north side. Sunny and the Sunliners were huge and we saw them so many times and have great memories of shows all over Texas. Sunny was on American Bandstand and really hit the big time. Rick, Rudy and Robert Roman we ruled those days and the music was awesome.

[calgirl213]

my dad always played this rola for my mom and she still dosen't talk to him. sad he used to cry. now they sleep in separate rooms, and he listens to it alone. i will never forget this song.

[CJVILLAN63]

My Dad always sang this song to my Mom, what a great oldie. sure miss all this good music. Brings back so many good memories wishing we could turn back the hands of time.

[jayjohnson43]

Sunny never met Richie Valenzuelo.. He was about 5 years older than us. I'm 67 and Sunny is the same age. I started playing with Sunliners when I was 21 till I wads about 27. Sunny never mentioned meeting him.. He would have just been about 15 or so when Ricardo died... Jay Johnson

Some friend called me for more info on this band. They appeared on American bandstand on a Sat., Nov 9, 1963! This was a R&B song by Little Willie John. Sunny's real name is ildefonso Fraga Ozuna. Sunny has won a Grammy for the LP "Legends" for Best Tejano Album of 2000 and is a member of the Tejano Music hall of Fame. El Chaparro De Oro has made San Antonio and our Tejano Nation proud! Tejano and Proud!

[RICHARDJKICK1]

@bigmacattackdj THANK YOU SO MUCH LITTLE WILLIE JOHN

[bigmacattackdj]

The Sunglows were the 1st Tejano band to be on American Bandstand [in 1963]; this hit peaked as #11 in 9/28/63 on Billboard's Top 40; on Tear Drop Records #3014, [originally it was on Sunglow Records as the Sunglows in 1963 with two sets of carnales-Sunny and Jessie Ozuna, Oscar and Ray Villanueva, Tony Tostado, Gilbert Fernandez and Alfred Luna when they were still in high school; they became one of the top bands of Tejano music! Thanks guys from our Tejano Nation! Tejano and Proud!

She is still my sweetheart 6 kids and 13 grandchildren later, still dancing to Sunny's Talk To Me. Heart to Heart, Love you Jer. Thank you and God Bless you guys.

[mend45]

Man this song brings back so many wonderful memories of back in the day. A rare oldie that will never fade away. Music to the soul

[vandywilliam]

Officially, this was listed as Sunny & The Sunglows (Tear Drop label, No. 3014), although the same group later recorded as Sunny & The Sunliners. This was a big hit in autumn 1963, but Little Willie John hit the Top 20 with the same song five years earlier -- and the two renditions don't actually sound too much different. Little Willie John's version is also posted on YouTube.

[carrvy1]

Sunny & the Sunglows were an American musical group formed in 1959 in San Antonio, Texas.

The group's members were all chicanos, and their style was a blend of rhythm and blues, tejano, blues, and mariachi.[1] They first recorded in 1962 for their own label, Sunglow.

[chaz1854]

Thank you for posting this sweet, rare gem of a song.

[RadioBazterd]

[desertfwr]

I'M TRYING TO FIND A SONG CALLED

MOST OF ALL - I HEARD IT SUNG BY JIMMY EDWARD

MOST OF ALL . . I need your warm embrace, no one can take your place, I need you most of all.

[desertfwr]

my new youtube friend TejanomusicLover79 posted Jimmy Edward - Most of All for me . . i am so grateful to him . . . go check it out - there are three songs in english on youtube by Jimmy Edward right now . . I wish there were more.

[VatoLocoX13]

The legendary Sunny & The Sunliners thanks for posting up such a firme rola by these guys.They are one of my favorites.

[elalacrandelasierra]

Sunny Ozuna sings with an old group known as "la Comparsa Universitaria" if I'm not mistaken. The song I'm thinking of is "Mi Ultima Parranda".

[IAMDRAGONBAITE]

never had a name like that when they recorded this song they were Sunny and the Sunglows,, changed name to Sunliners when Sunny quit that band and made his own...Jay Johnson ..Sunliner 1964...1969

[jerry854]

I guess the group changed their name to Sunny and the Sunglows. That is the one I remembered.

[zeamla07]

I grew up in Denver and went to the teen dances at the rec centers. The bands all covered this song. I am a Chicano this group was one the few musical role models that belonged to "us". This song brings back ummmmmemories.

[toddwindyhill]

This is the one!!

[ceeenne]

Hope this answers questions. This is from the Sunny Ozuna website as follows:

"Sunny started a band of a few friends; one of which helped him form the initial band itself. Between the time period of 1957 & 1958, Rudy Guerra and Sunny formed Sunny and the Sunglows which consisted of 6 teenage members; Norwood Perry (bass), Al Condy (guitar), George Strickland (drums), Rudy Guerra (saxophone), and Sunny Ozuna (vocals).

[ceeenne]

continued - "About 1961 the members of the band were changed a bit, and Sunny was strongly encouraged to sing songs in Spanish. After much thought and convincing, the gigs and much of the song playlist took place in Spanish. In 1963 Sunny picked up some new band mates, Jesse Villanueva's The Rockin' Vees, in Houston, Texas. Upon doing so, the band's name changed to what we know today, Sunny and the Sunliners."

[Rollin558]

Wow. Always loved this song and great to hear it again. But I grew up in New York City and I'm almost sure that this group was called Sunny and the Sunglows whenever the song was played in NYC in the early sixties. No, New York-hating jokes, please, but can anyone speak to the name of this group--or could it be I just got the name wrong. Thanks. (Note: this version of the song is the exact same I remember way back when, so I don't think it was another group.)

[arthurzdog]

This is a very close remake of the 1958 original by Little Willie John. Same arrangement. The only difference is the instrumental backing on Sunny's version and the vocal backing on Little Willie John's cut. Otherwise, they're hard to tell apart.

[luvureally]

arthurzdog John's voice is the biggest difference.

[blazzgodinez68]

blazzgodinez68 Sunny was a genius! I would love to turn back time and watch this dude perform!

[framrodj]

The Sunglows was the name mentioned on the radio in NY....They never mentioned Sunliners.

[IAMDRAGONBAITE]

Changed name when Sunny quit and formed own band

[framrodj]

This song is probably one of my all time favorites! It brings back memories from 1963!

[lacholaloca]

i didnt grow up listing to these songs but i wish i did i love them!!!

[devildog19895]

now this is  music

[Sof1950]

I remember these guys playing at the pan american ballroom in El Campo, Texas

[xmvirus202]

Beautiful song- Sunny's version is the best.

[exaltdm]

My husband knew these guys back in San Antonio about a hundred years ago... LOL!

I just made him all misty! Thanks!

[Hephzibah777]

I remember this song well from the time I was little girl. In the sixties my older teenage brothers and sisters played this constantly and danced around our living room. We lived in El Paso, Texas then and this band was the talk of the town. Good Memories!

[mamabearsmp]

That is such an incredible memory to have. My daddy always played his music. Wish i could of heard them live! Treasure your gift!

[lisaeichorst]

I goofed on my year of my dad's reunion with God it's Dec. 27, 2006.

[lisaeichorst]

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, and you are so right their memories will always be alive in us, thanks again, lisaeichorst

[lisaeichorst]

This song brings back childhood memories of my daddy, he sadly passed away on Dec. 27, 2007, three days after his 60th b-day, so I'd like to dedicate this song to him. I love you daddy "R.I.P." love Lisa

[manuelworker]

[lisaeichorst]

Thank you for your kindness.

[primeralives]

So sorry for your loss. i lost my wonderful Dad 4 yrs ago and when i hear these songs he's always in my heart. I know just what your feeling. I go back to these days when i was a kid and I had the security of him wrapped around me and my brothers. You go on with life but you never can fill that spot he took.

[lisaeichorst]

You know, people always say it gets easier, but I don't think it will cuz we were a tight nit family and then to top it off I lost my grandma in October, my dad's mom, so this Christmas is gonna be kinda empty, but my siblings and I will be together so that we can comfort each other, and thank you for your sympathy. lisaeichorst

[MusicDude86]

I first heard this song when I was 10....that

was 11 years ago and I couldn't get the song out of my head!!!! Good thing I have it on CD now!!! Ha ha!!!!

[axicano]

I remember seeing a sign for the almost every time I went to visit my grandparents in San Antonio at a bar on Mission Rd that was down the street from her house. I never listed to them, but just seeing their name brings back memories of my youth visiting my grandparents. Some how after listening to their songs makes wish I would have taken time to listen to them a bit more.
