Joe, I love how searching for things in one thread can lead to such interesting other stuff. I tried to find info on the authors of this song and found, instead, La Bloga: Chicana, Chicano, Latina, Latino, & more. Literature, Writers, Children's Literature, News, Views & Reviews.

That led me to This article in the San Antonio Current. Here's snippet from it:

"Raider of the lost archive

"By Kiko Martinez

"Ailing in a hospital bed in 1999 after his second heart attack and the quadruple bypass that followed, Tejano singer Sunny Ozuna was certain his time in this world was up.

Best known for his 1963 hit "Talk to Me," which he recorded with his band the Sunglows (later the Sunliners), and for being the first Tejano musician to perform on Dick Clark's American Bandstand that same year, Ozuna had led a fulfilling life and hoped he would be remembered when he was gone.

Frail from the surgery, Ozuna didn't call on family members to be by his bedside. He didn't ask for a chaplain to read him his last rites. Instead, Ozuna turned to his wife and asked for one final visitor, someone he knew could get his story right. Ozuna asked for Ramon Hernandez.

"I wanted my thoughts at that time to be written down," Ozuna said. "I thought the only one that could document that would be Ramon."

Over the last 30 years, Hernandez has transformed himself into a human encyclopedia of Latino music knowledge. In the early 1960s, he began collecting literature, periodicals, recordings, photographs, and other memorabilia on Latinos in the music industry, from the crooners of the '40s to the rock 'n' rollers of the '50s to anyone who has ever been associated with Tejano, conjunto, and música ranchera.

"Ramon has one of the most extensive music history collections in the world," says Steve Williams, founder of the Museum of American Music History. "There are very few collections that are as detailed as his that will take you from the origins of an artist throughout his entire career in pictures, documents, and mementos."
