SUNNY & THE SUNLINERS - Mr. Brown Eyed Soul

When it comes to living legends in the Texas and Latin Music pantheon, few have been at it longer and are more revered by their fans and peers than soul vocalist and
Mexican-American songwriter and bandleader Sunny Ozuna. He became a star right out of high school in the late '50s and hasn't looked back in the six decades since.
Among countless other honors and notable achievements, Sunny was the first Latino artist to appear on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" (in 1963). Songs like "Put Me
In Jail," "Talk To Me," "Should I Take You Home," "My Dream" and "Smile Now, Cry Later" still bring crowds to their feet throughout the Southwest and California and around
the world at "oldies" and "lowrider soul" events. And after releasing dozens of albums since the mid-1960s (in Spanish and English), Sunny still keeps a busy schedule and
loves performing as much as he did as a teenager. His classic 45s regularly change hands for hundreds of dollars among collectors around the world, affirming his timeless
appeal.
This new compilation on Brooklyn's acclaimed Big Crown label is a lovingly curated selection of songs from the years 1966 to 1972. All compositions were originally
released on Sunny's Key-Loc label, formed after his national star had been established, so he could have control of his own musical destiny. With Sunny hits - a mix of
originals and some great covers thrown in Mr. Brown Eyed Soul is an excellent celebration of Sunny's amazing body of work, and a perfect introduction for newcomers.
Produced in full collaboration and cooperation with Ozuna himself, the CD and LP packaging includes liner notes by Texas Music scholar and archivist Ramon Hernandez,
and features dozens of rare photos provided by Sunny himself.
