My Wahine
In the islands
Make me feel happy
Make me feel fine
My Wahine
Make me warm all over
With a feelin' that
I'm gonna love you till the end of time
So here's to the goldenmoon
And here's to the silver sea
And mostly here's a toast
To you and me
My Wahine
Make me warm all over
With a feelin' that
I'm gonna love you till the end of time

Actually, most local people in Hawaii consider Don Ho a major-league DORK.

Actually, most local people in Hawaii consider Don Ho a major-league DORK. I will try Elvis, the Beatles and William Hung in future attempts. I had no idea that Mr. Ho is not an in guy. My apologies. |

[quote author= Idaho Boy®® link=board=chitchat&thread=1102623145&start=6#0 date=1102643070] SoBB, quite the expert on: All things Hawaiian All things So Californian All things Coloradan All things Volleyball and Everything else. All hail the SOB. [/quote] Must be a Don Ho fan himself.  Truth is, Don Ho appeared in a couple movies in the 60's, which brought him some degree of fame in the mainland. Naturally, alot of tourists associated Don Ho with Hawaii, when in fact, he wasn't really a big player in the island music scene. Matter of fact, his backup band, The Aliis, had more success without him when they released their own album in the early 80's with Danny Couch as their vocalist. IB, do you even listen to KCCN or Hawaiian105FM? If you did, you'd know they don't even play Don Ho on either station. LOL. We won't even go into Mr. Ho's substance abuse issues. For many years, Don Ho performed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, to a mostly tourist audience. My cousin danced in his show for many years. If he were to put on a concert for local people, he probably wouldn't even sell out the cafeteria at King Intermediate. |

Just because Don "Am I Sober Yet" Ho made a couple of cheesy-ass movies with Elvis in that era, doesn't mean he was BIG in Hawaii "back then". He may have been "big" amongst a certain socio-economic class in Hawaii during that era. He certainly wasn't popular across the board like alot of today's Hawaiian Music artists are. The island music scene had not developed to that point. But, I see your point. Maybe Mr. Ho could sell out the cafeteria at King Intermediate. But the entire crowd would be AARP/65-over and mostly from Aina Haina, Hawaii Kai and Kailua. |

Do they sell "Hawaiian Pizza" at King Intermediate? I want to make sure I get some authentic Hawaiian food like that when I get there to listen to the Ho Concert.  |

He ruled Waikiki entertainment for more than 20 years. As far back as the 1960's he was already making about $2,000,000 annually. He was mentor to Sam Kapu and Al Lopaka. You probably don't know who they are. I'll even bet you don't know the name Kimo McVay. Do you know who Alfred Apaka was? He is the biggest music icon in Hawaii. The biggest star in hawai back in the 40's and 50's. Don Ho is the 2nd biggest icon here in Hawaii. You may fool mainlanders, but not local people like me. When you said: "Just because Don 'Am I Sober Yet' Ho made a couple of cheesy-ass movies with Elvis in that era, doesn't mean he was BIG in Hawaii "back then," you sound pretty ignorant. F- for your report card. |

F- for your report card. Hmmm...okay. I'm ignorant. Enlighten us. Just how many Alfred Apaka or Don Ho songs get played everyday on Hawaiian radio in Hawaii? Yup. Thought so. It's just about 2005. That's roughly 40 years since they made "Paradise Hawaiian Style" and "Blue Hawaii". Hawaiian music has moved on, you should to. As for Don Ho being an icon, please. Stop 50 people at Pearlridge or at Aloha Stadium during the Aloha Bowl (Go UH!) and ask them if Don Ho is an icon, you'll get a bunch of weird looks, uncontrollable laughter, and some "ya, right" responses from most people under the age of 65. |

Don Ho was indeed big in the 50's and 60's. But I don't recall him in any movies with Elvis. What you said above is way off base...it tells me you are just guessing. Of course young kids probably wouldn't know the stars of yesterday. I would not rely on them to determine who was the big stars of the past. You said "Stop 50 people at Pearlridge or at Aloha Stadium during the Aloha Bowl (Go UH!) and ask them if Don Ho is an icon, you'll get a bunch of weird looks, uncontrollable laughter, and some "ya, right" responses from most people under the age of 65 is not so hard to accept. And I think you're right. I wouldn't expect them to know who Dick Hyman was, or Mary Martin, Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughn, Eddie Fisher, Mario Lanza-- these singers were big stars in their days. Don Ho is in his late 70's. He is no longer in vogue. You are indeed a trouble maker, I don't mind saying this to you. |
