Wikipedia - Sunny & the Sunglows (formed by songwriters Jimmie Lewing and Sunny Ozuna in Palacios, Texas) was an American musical group started 1959, and later known as Sunny & the Sunliners in 1963 after moving to San Antonio, Texas. Career edit The group's members were all Chicano-born with the exception of Amos Johnson Jr., and their style was a blend of rhythm and blues, tejano, blues, and mariachi.[1] They first recorded in 1962 for their own label, Sunglow. Okeh Records picked up their single "Golly Gee" for national distribution that year, and in 1963, Huey P Meaux, a producer from Louisiana and owner of Tear Drop Records, had them record a remake of Little Willie John's 1958 hit, "Talk to Me, Talk to Me".[2] The single "Talk to Me" (b/w "Every Week, Every Month, Every Year"), released on Tear Drop Records, went to No. 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart, No. 12 on the US Billboard R&B chart, and No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1963.[3][4]
THANK YOU, titletownpgh, FOR posting this. Sunny and the Sunliners one of my all-time favorite latin soul Tex-Mex groups. We'll see you at Pittsburgh on October 23 then in the AFC Title game once again if you/we can knock out the Ravens!
Even though Wikipedia doesn't even mention this cover in it's article, THIS in a BETTER SMOKIN' up-tempo horns and drums driven dance version due to arrangement than Etta James' original even though her vocals were far better than Sunny Ozunas! Both are essential!
Excellent distinction, Max. I told someone of my view and they said "C'mon - no one ROCKs it like Etta" and I said, yes THIS version does. Yours is is a good way to explain the distinction.
I like this song i like it better on the album
