I'll just say that nearly every pop vocalist and pop orchestra from the 1940s through the 1960s put out at least one LP of "Hawaiian" music..generally consisting of the "standards" like Sweet Leilani, Blue Hawaii, Hawaiian Wedding Song. Connie Francis, Lawrence Welk, Burl Ives, Billy Vaughn, etc. etc. If you do a search at eBay or Gemm under "Hawaiian" and "records" you'll see tons of examples of what's out there. My favorite would probably be Annette Funicello's "Hawaiianette"...she could really only sing about four notes, but it's got great arrangements and some killer kitschy originals like "Date Night In Hawaii."
