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 ↴
or kill you with stupidity
your eyes the wouldn't even blink
I'm not your type of man I think
I'd gladly give my heart to you
but I don't think you want me to
cos thinking's all I ever did
And if you could see me now
it would surely help to ease the pain
somehow
and if I would call your name
would you smile and walk away
or be askin' me to stay
If shyness was a prize to wear
then I would be a millionaire
our love is like a picture book
there's nothing you can do but look
So I don't want to break the ice
cos watching you is twice as nice
but nothing in the way you do
is givin' me the slightest clue
And if you could see me now
It would surely help to ease the pain
Somehow
and if I would call your name
would you smile and walk away
or be askin' me to stay
And if you could see me now
and if I would call your name
and if you could see me now
The lyrics to Sunny & The Sunliners's song "If I Could See You Now" are poetic and communicative of the singer's innermost thoughts and feelings. The opening lines of the song, "I could write a symphony or kill you with stupidity, your eyes wouldn't even blink, I'm not your type of man I think", illustrate the conflict and frustration the singer feels inside with regards to his inability to connect with the woman he desires romantically. He is simultaneously aware that he is different from other men, and scared that his personality may be a turn off.
The singer is deeply in love with the woman he is addressing in the song, but he is unsure about how she feels about him. He is willing to give her his heart but fears that she may not want it. He feels shy and inadequate in her presence, even though he wishes he were the opposite. This is highlighted in the lines, "If shyness was a prize to wear, then I would be a millionaire, our love is like a picture book, there's nothing you can do but look". The metaphor of a "picture book" denotes that nothing really ever changes, and the singer is stuck in his current position.
However, the song concludes with a note of hopefulness, as the singer imagines what it would be like if the woman he loved could see him now. He wonders if reaching out to her and calling her name would prove successful and if it would prompt her to stay. These lyrics speak to the universal human experience of vulnerability and longing for connection, and the hope that these feelings may one day be reciprocated.
