Remember the TV show, Shindig, which had the go-go dancers and Bobby Sherman and all the latest hot groups of the 60's?
Here is a You Tube link to a Shindig show taped in Hawai`i starring Don Ho. Also in this film is Duke Kahanamoku, Blows me away when they say he won the olympic gold medal for swimming in 1912, and yet here he is on this video giving his aloha. The background music for the beginning of the show is "Nani Waimea" and it sure sounds like Hui `Ohana to me, but they would have been mere keiki at that time. Unless, perhaps whoever posted the film on you tube dubbed in the intro music.
Definitely worth seeing, if nothing else but to see Duke. Chicken skin.

Most befittingly, the intro music is by The Aliis, Don Ho's backing group. The cut is from the first Don Ho and The Aliis LP, "The Don Ho Show" - which has been reissued on CD.
What freaked me out even more is how much Bobby Sherman sounds like Kimo Kahoano (or vice-versa).
Chicken skin, indeed! That was a trip! Thanks for posting that! |
