This is one of my favortie songs when I was growing up. It reminds me of the good ole days singing with my Mom, sisters and My cousin Jamie! Love you Jamie!!!
Aloha Grayden, my name is Mina and i knew your dad from childhood when he was just learning to sing. Last time i saw him was in Waianae or makaha doing a show n my cuz said thats Oliver Kelly n i did not believe was him n i went up too him after the performance n introduced myself n he knew me.
I knew all your uncles n aunty n grandpa too. We all lived in Kalihi Valley Hsg.
Grayden, I danced with Autny Ehu's Halau - Kaulana na Pua o` Hawai`i. When we went to Merrie Monarch in '84 or '85 - he sang this to us and you sang Akaka falls. It was an awesome experience. Do you have any of your own recordings?
gspotpcd----i loved your dads voice.....his cd brings back memories of my DADDY who is also in heaven....he would come home from work and make us play it during dinner.....thank you for sharing....
Wow, this song brings back great memories of my hanabada days! Every time I hear this song, it gives me chicken skin! Awesome song. One of my all time favorites...thanks for sharing!
1996 is when I first met my husband & this was his first song he ever sang to me since then going on 15yrs together married w/ 4 boys && this song STILL gives me the chills & beautiful memories.

Aloha to everyone. My name is Grayden Kamekona Ha'i-Kelly, the eldest son of the late Oliver Kelly. His real name is Oliver Lanakila Ha'i-Kelly. April 12, 1995, my father left us to be with his Heavenly Father. I miss everyday of my life. I am also the one that sang the song "Akaka Falls" & Pu'unui on my fathers recording. It sure does touch my heart to hear his voice and to know that he was loved by so many people, not just for his voice, but for his personality. Thank you all so much.
This song reminds me of camping at Bellows AFB with the ohana. Playing in the sun till you crispy, boogie boarding till you grow gills, and sand in your shorts for weeks. Thanks for the memories.
jus cant find the words......more than.......oh my......miss his music alot!!!!...my ohana are entertainers...an my aunty was a dear and close friend of him!!!

Missing Uncle Oliver, Uncle Howard K. & most recently Aunty Alice Basque.

I have a 45 RPM of this haunting song by Stevie Wonder--never know anyone else recorded it--sounds great--thx!
Always wondered if this is where Prince got the inspiration for his own song....
