voc,
Singer of Latin

Tejano singer and musician born in Corpus Christi, Texas in April of 1948. Emilio's musical career started while he was attending Wynn Seal Jr. High in Corpus Christi. Emilio and a group of his friends put together a band and started playing around town at private parties, record hops, and what kid’s use to call jives. fter graduating from Roy Miller High School in 1967, Emilio joined the U.S. Army and was shipped to Ft. Polk, LA for basic training. While stationed at Ft. Polk, Emilio and four other soldiers from New Jersey and New York formed a vocal group that began singing at the NCO club on base. In June 1970, Emilio returned home after being Honorably discharged from the Army and got his musical career started again. Instead of singing though, he started playing keyboards for several local bands. He played with the Johnny Canales Band, Los Lemans, and finally with T.J. & Company. Emilio got started back singing by accident. One night the singer for the band did not show up and Emilio was asked if he could fill in. Emilio agreed. From then on he became one of the band’s singers. In 1977 Zeke Saucedo (guitar), and Sam Deleon (keyboards), convinced Emilio to start his own band. In 1977, with the help of his brother Leonard Guerrero to run sound, Zeke and Sam, Charro Band was born.
