Duran-Duran-ish? This song was written by Maurice Bega a long time friend of Kalapana and the one who stepped into the big shoes of filling in for Mackey after he passed away. Maurice is a great song writer and a good player. This was recorded at KGMB Studios in the early 90's.

@rogerdodgerfan Sad but true, Mackey was given several chances and sent to rehab in the past, dropping out each time before completion..The judge had no option but to send him to prison...The mistake came with the prison system not monitoring him knowing that he was in a depressed state..Mackey previously tried taking his own life just prior to this unfortunate incident.. Having said that, prison officials should've had him under close watch...Mackey will be greatly missed, always..!!!

tehehehe who else couldn't help but smile when our dear Mackey Feary laughed singing "I can't stand the heat" [1:52]?

Even those who didn't really know him felt like they knew him. Very few people if any know the whole story behind the scenes. I've always been a big fan, great voice, great performer, amazing songwriter. Somehow Mackey was always the guy everyone smiled and said oh man Mackey you kolohe, I don't want to judge, he was a great performer/songwriter.

Dude, not the '90s, I directed this in '85! My boss, the great Phil Arnone, and I split directing duties in season 1 of Island Music, Island Hearts. What a trip it was:  rehearsals in the afternoon, then I would go off and mark my scripts, which were lyric sheets, as I watched VHS tapes of rehearsal. The newscast ended at 6:30, and the terrific KGMB night shift would then have thirty minutes to move into concert mode. The audience filed in, and at 7PM, we were live. Total fun!

Is Kalapana still together? If so, who are the members now?

[hitomusic]

That vocal "thing" he does from 1:30 to 1:32 is so distinctly his - he does that "run" with his voice in many of his songs - one of the hallmarks of his delivery of certain lyrics. You know that audience must be enjoying an eternally entertaining evening - one that would never be forgotten.
