Santa Esmeralda

Santa Esmeralda is a French‑American disco group formed in the 1970s. The group became known for its disco‑styled remakes of the 1960s hits “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and “House of the Rising Sun”. Santa Esmeralda featured original lead singer Leroy Gómez from 1977 to 1978 and Jimmy Goings from late 1978 until 1983. The band was formed in 1977 by French producers Nicolas Skorsky and Jean Manuel de Scarano, singer‑songwriters who created their own label with the intention of producing artists to record their compositions. After meeting singer Leroy Gómez in Paris, they recruited him for the group’s first recording, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, which debuted on the independent French label Fauves Puma. The song became an immediate success in Europe and was subsequently picked up for worldwide distribution by Casablanca Records. Santa Esmeralda is a French‑American disco group formed in the 1970s.
