Sunny & the Sunglows


Sunny & the Sunglows an American musical group in 1959 and later known as Sunny & the Sunliners after moving to San Antonio, Texas.
The group's members were all Chicano with the exception of Amos Johnson Jr., and their style was a blend of rhythm and blues, tejano, blues, and mariachi. They first recorded in 1962 for their own label, Sunglow. Okeh Records picked up their single "Golly Gee" for national distribution that year, and in 1963, Huey P Meaux, a producer from Louisiana and owner of Tear Drop Records, had them record a remake of Little Willie John's 1958 hit, "Talk to Me, Talk to Me". The single "Talk to Me", released on Tear Drop Records, went to No. 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart, No. 12 on the US R&B Singles chart, and No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1963.
The group followed this release with several more remakes—"Rags to Riches" b/w "Not Even Judgment Day", "Out of Sight-Out of Mind" b/w "No One Else Will Do", and "Peanuts" " b/w "Happy Hippo".
