@goodtogonow3 Not sure about "original", but the Mills Brothers charted with it in 1959, #70.

I remember this being used by Northeast Airlines as its commercial jingle.

I remember my dad playing this when I was knee high to a grasshopper. God bless my dad who is no longer with me.

@goodtogonow3 Originally written in 1883 as Choucoune....

[Gnillob802]

@goodtogonow3 Its actually a Haitian song written in 1893 called "Choucoune". The English lyrics are unrelated to the original. The first to record the English version was the Norman Luboff Choir, followed by the Mills Brothers.

Ata was the Man! They called this music 'exotica'... but make no mistake, Ata was Hawaiian to the bone and so good fun to be around... miss him and his easy going smile.

Thank you so so much for the reminder of a wonderful, beautiful, and peaceful era gone by. As a young marine in 1957, I laid in my barracks playing this music on my hi fi and just relaxed and dreamed of beautiful island scenes. Thanks so much for sharing. Ole Johnny B.
