There are many Pahinui tracks spread through most of the "Waikiki" LPs. This one looks like it should be a Leetag painting, don't you think? "The Duke" isn't performing here, but "Waikiki" gave him his own record. This might just look like an assortment of island beauties, but there's some history in this picture. Back "in the day", instead of electing just one beauty queen, The University of Hawaii held a competition where one winner was chosen for each of the major ethnic groups of Hawaii at the time...I don't know which year this was, but from left to right, they are Cosmopolitan (mixed race), Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Chinese, Caucasian, and, seated, Native Hawaiian.
