749 Sunny (1943- ) and the Sunglows (aka Sunliners) “Talk to Me” 1962

“Idelfonso ‘Sunny’ Ozuna was born September 8, 1943, in San Antonio, Texas. Ozuna, along with Little Joe, Ruben Ramos, and Augustin Ramirez, is one of the key musicians of the ‘La Onda’ generation…Ozuna was instrumental in the formation of San Antonio’s now-legendary ‘Westside Sound’—a hodge-podge of conjunto, polka, soul, R&B, blues, and rock, as interpreted by (mostly, but not conclusively) young urbanite Mexican-American musicians…Nightclubs, concert halls, and beer joints across the city soon set the stage for what is largely considered the ‘golden age’ of San Antonio music during the 1950s and 1960s” (Kenneth L. Untiedt, Jerry Young, Cowboys, Cops, Killers, and Ghosts: Legends and Lore in Texas, 2013).
