Another edition of "She looks familiar"...actually, THEY look familiar. Here are four LPs featuring the same set of models, featuring the lady in front, Georgietta Kahalelaukoa Parker, Miss Hawaii of 1958.

Hawaiian paradise by Leo Addeo, his orchestra & chorus, RCA Camden CAS 853, c1965;

Hawaiian holiday by Hal Aloma & his Hawaiians, Columbia CL 538, [no date]. (A great LP by the way..swinging renditions of Wai o Minnehaha, Liliu e, Little grass shack and Hawaiian war chant!)

Aloha! Great instrumental favorites of Hawaii by Sam Koki & The Paradise Islanders with The Waikiki Strings, Kapp KS-3233 [no date]. (I prefer Sam's other recordings & those he made under the William Kealoha pseudonym, but his steel playing is still smooth & beautiful here, just decidedly more "easy listening" playing the standards)

And here's Garbriella solo on Songs of the South Seas by various artists, Audition AUD 33-5930, [no date]. No doubt, taken in the same location & same time.
