They're a typical Hawaiian group, but I just especially like this record cover...the white with blue lei is uncommon and, well, with Diamond Head as a backdrop..it's just a pleasant image. Those who are fans of the "Hukilau Hulas" CD re-issues and of "The Polynesians" LPs would be interested in this rare LP..I've only seen it once & snatched it. Bernie Kaai Lewis was a member of The Polynesians & was also on Hukilau Hulas. His voice is distinctive. This LP was recorded in California in the late 70s, I believe. It features a few standards & lots of originals.."Puka Shell Lei","Opihi Shells","My Hilo Girl","My Hawaiian Home, etc. Here's a head scratcher for me..I was working in Hawaiian radio when this LP came out in 1986 and it really went no where. Yet, these guys are fabulous...awesome harmonies, a great mix of popular local tunes at the time & hapa-haole numbers..."Polynesian Rhythm","Echoes Of The South Pacific","It's Paradise In Hawaii"...and what's NOT to love about pink polyester muumuus??!! These guys rock. Paradise is a state of mind. [ Edited by: Kaiwaza 2009-08-08 16:48 ]
