Sunny Ozuna & the Sunliners – The Versatile Sunny Ozuna & the Sunliners (Key-Loc, 1968)

Here is one of the many albums by the versatile but also very prolific Sunny & the Sunliners. On this album they play two very different style, one side devoted to Texano Ranchero music, not particularly interesting to soul lovers. On side two however the style is straight soul and all lyrics are sung in English.  This side contains excellent soul tunes, only covers sung in a tight vocal group style.  There is a version of “I’d rather go blind”, “Little green apples” and the cream track is the version of “Brown-eyed woman” (also famously done by Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers). A hard to find gem.
