From the liner notes "Presently, Jimmy stars nightly in the Discovery Room of Sheraton-Maui, a new destination resort hotel on the white sandy beach of Kaanapali, where he is also Front Desk Manager." Man, he must have gotten sick of THAT place...I certainly hope he was paid for BOTH positions..:) At any rate, Jimmy Moikeha beautifuly sings "Rainbows of Love","And So For Now Aloha","Hawaiian Wedding Song" and more. Sterling Mossman recorded a few LPs on Decca & was quite a well-known local celebrity. I like this cover. Fun hapa-haole music. Lena Machado was a wildly popular falsetto singer back in her day and her recordings have lived on, still being played today. However, NO ONE seems to know about this Harmony LP. It features different versions of some of her most popular songs and I honestly PREFER these versions...as has every Hawaiiana person who has listened to it. "My Sweet Gardenia Lei" is my favorite. Paradise is a state of mind. [ Edited by: Kaiwaza 2009-08-12 14:50 ]
