Prolific bandleader Billy Vaughn notched up his second 1963 US top twenty album hit with this collection of Hawaiian themed tunes. The title track is, of course, Japanese but it is given an Hawaiian twist by Billy. (US:15)
"His music is smooth and a pleasure any time of the day."
"So beautiful and so true to the orchestration of Kyu Sakamoto's hit."
"King’s Serenade is a great melody, great to dance to and of course it's by Billy Vaughn."
"The entire album is great Hawaiian stuff (other than the title) which was probably written by a Japanese man who was in love with Hawaii."
