Sunny & the Sunglows

Sunny & the Sunglows were an American musical group started 1959, and later known as Sunny & the Sunliners in 1963 after moving to San Antonio, Texas.

Career

The group's members were all Chicano-born 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 Billboard R&B chart, No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1963, and No. 13 on Canada's CHUM Chart in November.
