Santa Esmeralda was a 70's Spanish-themed studio group. Santa Esmeralda first album (1977) was a reworking of the Animals classic "Don't Let Me be misunderstood." The album was an international success with Leroy Gomez vocals.



At this point Gomez left to continue his solo career, having one release on Casablanca (1978). The medley of "Gypsy Woman/Spanish Harlem" made it to the club top 40 briefly. In 1979 Gomez released "I got it bad" which was a huge success in Latin America with GET UP AND BOOGIE.



Santa Esmeralda continued recording with Jimmy Goings. The second album, 1978's "The House of the Rising Sun," was another reworking of the Animals classic. Sevilla Nights" was included on the soundtrack to "Thank God it's Friday." Beauty" was released in late 1978. In 1979 the group made a stunning comeback with Jimmy Going "Another Cha-Cha." By 1980's "Don't Be Shy Tonight" was released and had a top ten club hit with "C'est Magnifique"



The last two albums "The Green Talisman" and "Hush" (only for real fans) with not top hits.
