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?

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To give you all the love that's yours
Put me in jail if I fail
In lovin' you
I stood before the jury
It was an ugly scene
'Cause they could see right through me
How lonely I had been
To give you all the love that's yours
Put me in jail if I fail
In lovin' you
And then the judge accused me
He put me down real bad
He said that I was guilty
Of makin' you so sad
Put me in jail if I fail
To give you all the love that's yours
Put me in jail if I fail
In lovin' you
And then the judge accused me
He put me down real bad
He said that I was guilty
Of makin' you so sad
So put me in jail if I fail
To give you all the love that's yours
Put me in jail if I fail
In lovin' you
Put me in jail if I fail
To give you all the love that's yours
Put me in jail if I fail
In lovin' you
Put me in jail if I fail
The song "Put Me in Jail" by Sunny & The Sunliners is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a man's unconditional love and devotion towards his woman. The song begins with the singer pleading to be put in jail if he fails to give his lady all the love that she deserves. The lyrics are an expression of how the singer feels responsible for his woman's happiness, and he is willing to pay any price for her. He would rather be in jail than not be able to fulfill his promise to love her.
The lyrics go on to show the singer's vulnerability when he stands before the jury. He feels like he has been exposed, and they can see through him. He acknowledges the loneliness that he has been feeling and how it has affected his lady's life. The judge then accuses him of making his woman sad, making the situation worse for him. The chorus repeats the same lines, "Put me in jail if I fail to give you all the love that's yours, Put me in jail if I fail in loving you," emphasizing the depth of his commitment to his woman.
The song beautifully portrays how love can drive a person to do anything, even if it means going to jail. It shows how love can become an obsession and how it can consume a person's life. The lyrics are simple, yet powerful, and the melody of the song creates an emotional impact on the listeners.

Great song written by San Antonio's own Rudy Palacios! Great guitar player and vocalist and was a member of the Sunliner's in the 60's. Never got credit or royalties for this song! God Bless him! Still performing to this day.
