Suns of Light are an American R&B boy band, originally known as the Boys.
Their grandmother taught them singing, dancing, and acting. In the summer of 1984, ages 5 to 10 as "The Boys," the group began busking at the Venice Beach boardwalk. Their first single, "Dial My Heart" became a hit, charting at #1.[1]
