~~Judging from the enduring popularity of its music, Hawaii has lost none of its allure by coming into the family. Although politically, economically, and socially a state, The Islands will always create an aura of magic... a spell of enchantment so well depicted in this collection of the most popular Hawaiian melodies, played in the incomparably rich styling of Wayne King.
They are all favorites, and some, such as Sweet Leilani, Aloha Oe, and The Moon of Manakoora, are almost as familiar to most of us as My Old Kentucky Home.
Songs Of The Islands features, as always, the lush and lovely Wayne King strings, outstanding arrangements by Wayne Robinson, and spellbinding trombone solos by Tommy Shepard.~~
So classic.

@SteelerY360NationUtube's fools make certain everything is never OK! Can only add to my Big Band list by playlisting from MrMaymac's site. My bud in Tokyo needed 28 attempts to post one video & he's an old hand at it. Written in 1939, I just made this my newest featured video as it has just become one of my top favorites ever. It's almost a foxtrot blending into big band style with tropical vibes thrown in. If I stand on 1 foot while patting my head & tummy, utube shows my playlist link below!
