    I discovered this song fro the movie LaBamba In 1987 or whenever it came out. It got radio play for a little while on the top 40 stations Most 12 olds didn’t care for it, or wouldn’t admit it. It wasn’t “cool” but it must’ve been because they played it. It’s very unique. It’s like a wave of emotions. It can go from love to sorrow depending how you’re feeling when you hear it, as well as who’s playing it. Some people just seem to play it, and others really Put their soul into it. It seems like it conveys your mood at the time. This song is timeless.

    Santo is retired as of now since the early 2000's, & is now in his mid-80's. Johnny still makes occasional performances as you can see here.

      @@peggyhobbs3119 Santo Farina was born in 1937, while Johnny was born in 1941. They had a middle child sister named Annie, whom they named an instrumental song after. Annie is often credited with her two brothers on any of their compositions, including "Sleep Walk". Santo & Johnny were both born of Fiji/Italian descent in New York. Their father was Fiji Island born, while their mother was an Italian-American native. As both brothers once stated on the back of their album covers, they sure did loved their mother's homemade lasagna. It was their dad who taught the boys how to play steel guitar.
