The Sunrays, an American rock'n'roll band from Pacific Palisades, California, were formed in 1964. The group comprised Rick Henn on vocals and drums, Eddy Medora on rhythm guitar, Byron Case on lead guitar, Marty DiGiovanni on keyboards, and Vince Hozier on bass. Initially known as the Renegades, their first notable gigs were at Palisades Park in the late 1950s. In 1964, Murry Wilson, father of The Beach Boys members, began managing them and rebranded the group as The Sunrays. They released their debut single "Car Party" / "Outta Gas" that same year. Their breakthrough came with the release of "I Live For The Sun" in August 1965, which peaked at number 51 on the US Billboard charts and number 20 in Australia. This was followed by several successful singles, including "Andrea" (number 41 US) and "Still" (number 93 US), both released in 1966. The group also recorded their debut album, Andrea, in the same year. The Sunrays toured extensively in the United States and Canada, notably opening for The Beach Boys. Their last single before disbanding was "Loaded With Love", released in May 1967. Their musical activities ceased in the 1960s. Eddy Medora passed away on 27 October 2006, followed by Vince Hozier on 18 March 2007.
