Thanks ha63,,I appreciate the info. I did do a little research on Haleloke and she stayed in the states with a couple who were her friends, living with them...She was a jewel,,too bad Arthur didn't recognize it...

I remember Haleloke and there is a video of her with Arthur Godfrey singing the Hawaiian Christmas song on Youtube. Julius Larosa was only one of many people who were eventually fired by Arthur Godfrey. Haleloke was fired along with the Mariners, Archie Bleyer, Marion Malow and maybe others all in one day.

Arthur Godfrey may be most well known today for his on-air firing of singer Julius LaRosa in October 1953 (because LaRosa had hired an agent). There's a YouTube video of that incident. It really hurt his image, some say he never fully recovered from it.
