Mantovani & Orchestra - "Sweet Leilani"

[alosme100]

Demasiada música para escucharla a las apuradas... hay que tomarse un tiempo para disfrutarla.

[windstorm1000]

what a beautiful combination of Mantivani and lovely pic's of our 50th state, excuse me--49th. I wanna go!! aloha.

[pikiwiki]

@windstorm1000 isn't it the 50th state?

[Call1800POO]

@windstorm1000 Admission to Union, August 21, 1959 (50th) ... Lists of United States state insignia ... The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Islands.

[MrJudges4u]

How could anyone dislike this music?

[haupialani97]

Great steels ( guitars). Nothing conjures up trade winds rustling through the coconut palms like these instruments. Hawai'i no ka oi.

[snalteben]

Mmmmmm, at 2:05! Lovely!!

[balladwav]

beautiful and twisted

[signorgelato]

Most credit for the popularity of this song goes to Bing Crosby who discovered it and insisted on recording the song and including it in his movie! Crosby was most phenominal and I love the old record...

[75capriceconvertible]

[Littleemmylouwho]

Beautiful. I love Chris Isaak's version of this song too.

[FentyTV]

[rhctam]

[jere1102]

Nice wedding of images to music. Full of nostalgia in the main modern sense of wistful longing for the past, historically a major theme in art.

[jontetuva]

I love this song, its so romantic and paradisy :D

[Corrie121]

Lovely posting. I love this song so much.

I understand "Sweet Leilani" is the first song Bing Crosby recorded. An inspired choice, I would say.

Thank you for sharing.

[franklindavid]

Mantovani brings out the music of the Islands, that we love

Magnificent!

[thetiler]

Wow! He can't make a beautiful tune! What a great gift to the world! His music is!

[basilhenriques]

Beautifully arrangement but slightly ruined by the insipid Hawaiian guitarist. Who is it? Billy Bell ?

Also the arrangement didn't place enough emphaisis on the subdominant minor chord on the second half of the word "Flower" The writer had that as a "Hook" in the song..

Sweet Leilani is a song from the 1937 film, "Waikiki Wedding". It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and was popularized by Bing Crosby who recorded it in 1935.

[globuleman1234]

simply beautiful. a very haunting melody
