Description
When it comes to living legends in the Texas and Latin Music pantheon, few have been at it longer and are more revered by their fans and peers than soul vocalist and Mexican-American songwriter and bandleader Sunny Ozuna. Born and raised in San Antonio, where he still resides, Sunny became a star right out of high school in the late 50s and hasnt looked back in the six decades since.
Among countless other honors and notable achievements, Sunny was the first Latino artist to appear on Dick Clarks American Bandstand (in 1963). Songs like Put Me In Jail, Talk To Me, Should I Take You Home, My Dream and Smile Now, Cry Later still bring crowds to their feet throughout the Southwest and California and around the world at oldies and lowrider soul events. And after releasing dozens of albums since the mid-1960s (in Spanish and English), Sunny still keeps a busy schedule and loves performing as much as he did as a teenager. His classic 45s regularly change hands for hundreds of dollars among collectors around the world, affirming his timeless appeal.
This new compilation on Brooklyns acclaimed Big Crown label home to Lee Fields, Lady Wray, The El Michels Affair and many more is a lovingly curated selection of songs from the years 1966 to 1972. All compositions were originally released on Sunnys Key-Loc label, formed after his national star had been established, so he could have control of his own musical destiny.
