The Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band - Moonlight lady

[andrebishop22]

I first heard this while looking at the west emerald mountains of Maui from a small house half way up the crater. It was an old LP and headset. I was helping out a friend. Wow. What a tune.

[likatyga]

Gabby can also be heard on one side of the amazing Chicken Skin Music lp/cd with Ry Cooder. The equally amazing Tex/Mex accordion player Flaco Jimenez is on th other side. Great collection of songs also. To my ear best heard on LP.

[vanovernh]

Ry Cooder truly adds an accent that is unique

[Windansr]

Ohhhhhh....love this! Back in the day we were lucky to be blessed with music like this and the amazing talents of so very many musician's like Gabby. Miss this kine music. Hawaii still is the birthplace for an abundance of talent and music, yet, we hold onto this music that just flows with the soul of the islands.. Mahalo GrandMasterGuess!

[dcobbe]

Carlos Andrade wrote this song.

[leftyspade]

Such an incredible memory. Peace to this incredible man.

[mandog4114]

Reminds me when I lived in Hawaii Kaneohe side. Great song.

[coynable]

God Bless Gabi.

[dantsea]

My mom lived and worked at the Hotel Hana Ranch on Maui in the 60s and 70s, before I was born. This was one of her favorite albums and this one of her favorite songs. She's gone now, but every time I hear this song I think of her.

[mufdivr01]

My parents used to play this on vinyl when my brother and I were babies. I guess we were two if it came out in 75. Must have heard it a thousand times growing up! I loved this song and always remembered the lyrics. Now 35 years later, I actually found an import cd, and gave it to my Mom as a Mothers Day present. Should have seen her face!

[brownbearbabe]

who can dislike a LEGEND?! haha

[2011hib]

after my visit to oahu my son gave me a gift of iz CD and an assortment of other hawaiian musicians and i discovered this song (a big favorite of mine). After listening to iz on you tube for months, i am also finding many different artists here now. thanks for posting from your personal videos and collections. bless you and long live hawaiian culture!

[DieGwinners]

[Heathercc808]

I had the great joy of being at Peter Moon's house with Pops and Bla when this song was released. It was a memory I will always hold close to my heart.

[kamahoi50]

[starfisher87]

I've always loved this song & all of The Pahinui Music, this is the best of the best for sure

[israelipiper]

Now this is the real Hawaii. I walk the ridges of the Ko'olau mountains as I listen to this . . .

[puueo]

no one can sing this song like he could. i have the record, but i don't have a phonograph anymore. i'm glad that it's on you tube :}

[PeluMaad]

A classic album.

[huka2008]

Even after all these years, this is one of my favorites!

[HOTCARL0]

mann...the music, the lyrics, the videos brings me back home to the good days. i'm born and raised in Kailua Oahu, and hung out in the country side "windward" right?

[HOTCARL0]

mann..this brings me back home to the good days. i'm born and raised in Kailua Oahu, and hung out in the country side "windward" right?

[asianqueen808]

Wow this song reminds me of back home Hon HI!Now I'm so home sick it's not even funny!I hope to move this year is year is my year!It's been time for this Pretty Wahine to go home!

[puahonua]

Hawaii no ka oi. I miss the islands so much, how good to listen to the old guys, bringing up da kine, the vibes, making you feel you were there...mahalo nui uncle Gabby...

[sinseller18]

my dad grew up near the Pahinuis and caught Cyril in a little town in NH. Miss Hawaii so bad.

[sepu577]

This is the one song that makes me miss Hawaii the most.

[medicinecrow65]

Bla did an awesome version of this on one of his solo albums, I seem to recall it was a live album. He told some funny stories about his younger days when he played with Gabby.

[chime1fo4me]

Timeless...

[Micaiah2004]

Another one of my favorites. Thank you for the video.

[DieGwinners]

awesome ...

[habuteru]

This is Bla, not Gabby!

[BooksMusic]

@habuteru Bla is singing, but it is on Gabby's album and has always been considered a Gabby Pahinui song, or "Gabby Pahinui featuring Bla Pahinui"

[MrDustyrhodes]

High, My friends wrote this song. Don't get me wrong, I will name them. Carlos Andrade, Pat Cockett and Boogie Kalama. These are Kauai people. If Gabbie if/was still alive he would agree. So don't mess with the truth. If you choose to, then go through Vinny O'Obrien that's O.K.! Hey, aloha! Bra........

[Micaiah2004]

Gabby Pahinui, a legend in Hawaiian slack key guitar. A great musician.

[gashman63]

Brings back good memories growing up on Maui.

[TheAlohaRobert]

Magic times for me - in Navy - submarines at Pearl Harbor. Got to meet Gabby once - such a nice man. Also his sons , who I met through Peter Moon Band - saw them MANY times. Like I said "Magic" times.

[kika2528]

This is a classic...

[rlawton002]

Bla sound good.

[honipop]

haunting... words need not apply....excus e me

[kolohekane69]

so many try and perform this song....and fall so short. This is the way it was meant to be, possibly my all time favorite song. MAHALO for posting it

[Boviss1]

This is a rare classic of an album. Excellent post.

[merndemrow]

Reminds me of those days listening to "Maui Sunset" in the early 80's.....some of my best memories ever.......

[habuteru]

this song was always playing at kengos on saturday nights

[wsteel1e]

I've got an old lp of Gabi and the boys doing this song and a number of other songs and chants with Ry Cooder from back in the late 70's or early 80's...bought it in the PX at Pearl, man I miss the islands...we have a song here called "My Island Home", its about the islands north of Darwin, but it reminds me of Hawaii, I'm homesick for Makaha Beach and the Fog Cutter

[MrBrindleStyle]

Choice! We're in Cairns. We have Uncle Seaman Dan, and the Mills Sisters up here.

Was talking to a Fijian lad the other day, have this old LP of Sonia and Skee- Skee can sing! More on the line of Stevie Wonder tho.

[LizaMac007]

Okay, yeah, it's his son Bla, who sang this song, but it was on Gabby's album and they played in the same group, hello!

[LizaMac007]

I love this song...it's always in style! Yeah, Pops Gabby Pahinui jammin'...may he rest in peace!

[ekolukani]

Huuuu! mahalo nui loafor this post Thats why hard cuz aloha!

[wvpersonaltrainer]

I'm out here in West Virginia (about 5,000 miles from my island home) enjoying this classic tune. Thanks for posting!

[oldies55]

I was on Oahu from '74-'76 I recall this song and also Wahini U*i being played frequently -Mahalo Nui Loa for the memories.

[menehune59]

mahalo! i love this song! anyone who remembers dj kamasami kong of KKUA in honolulu will recall this song was played at the beginning of each show!

[rlawton002]

The Pahinui family is a national treasure....not to be overly dramatic....its true.

[RonaldVaughan]

I lived on Oahu from 1982-87. This song

reminds me of singer Sonya Mendez (whom

I'm now friends with.)

BTW,is there also an instrumental mix of this

same song? Great....it's da kine....mahalo...

[merndemrow]

I lived on Maui from 1980-1984 and Oahu from 1984-1992..then on to the mainland...this was my favorite song from the show Hawaiian Sunset....I have been checking utube for years hoping to find this song by Gaby...mahalo nui loa....

[wjc1952]

This is not Gabby. It is his son, Bla.

[wjc1952]

Bla Pahinui has one of the most unique voices and guitar styles. This is a most excellent song, and always makes me think of Bla. As you can tell from this album all of Gabby's keiki have choke talent. Its in the koko.
