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.
Sunny left the sunliners and became somewhat of a solo artist. Sunny and a trio of close friends(Freddie Martinez, Augustin Ramirez, and Carlos Guzman)better known as The Legends, earned themselves a Grammy in 2000. Currently there is strong talk about more work with The Legends as well as many various shows and appearances by Sunny Ozuna himself in the near future.
There is soon to be a Sunliner Hall of Fame coming soon to SunnyOzuna.com ! Years and years of fantastic musicians have entertained thousands upon thousands of folks all over the greater United States. We do encourage you to e-mail us your candidates for most popular Sunliner and a "Where are they now " kinda page too !
Wasn't there also a band member named Edward R. Gomez that played sax as well?

Sunny & The Sunliners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you would only say you cared.
Although my pockets may be empty,
I'd be a millionaire.
My clothes may still be torn and tattered,
But in my heart Iβ²d be a king.
Your love is all that ever mattered,
So open your heart,
And you'll open the door,
To all the treasure,
That Iβ²m hopinβ² for.
Hold me, kiss me,
And say you'll be mine,
Evermore.
Must I forever be foresaken,
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches?
My fate is up to you.
So open your heart,
And youβ²ll open the door,
To all the treasure,
That I'm hopinβ² for.
Hold me, kiss me,
And say you'll be mine,
Evermore.
Must I forever be foresaken,
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches?
My fate is up to you.
