"I'll Remember You" by Kui Lee

Here is a beloved and romantic hapa-haole song by Kui Lee, hinting at a season of love and then a parting. It's beautifully subtle and was popularized by the late Kui Lee and his friend, Don Ho. I am accompanying myself on slack key guitar in taropatch tuning (open G).

Very lovely. This song brings back so many memories for me. My parents had the Robin Wilson album with this song (I wish I could find it!) and took us to many Don Ho performances in Oahu and in LA.

@CookinCO My mom, a homesick Hawaiian girl in the 1960s, wore out the grooves of the Don Ho albums when I was a kid.

I love this song....very good rendition!! The summer of love, leaving, and remembering did happen to me in 1965. I saw Don Ho @ the Duke's with this person and will never forget him.....I returned home and married my highschool sweetheart<3

I'm sure Kuiokalani Lee (also knows as Kui Lee) would be pleased with the rendition you did of his song. You have a wonderful voice and captured the emotion of the song beautifully.

Remember : Kui Lee wrote this song, and he died shortly thereafter of cancer, which makes this song his legacy to many others who did well - but only Kui Lee can evoke the true feeling of this song.
