He was clearly a sensation in the late 50's when Webley Edwards' Hawaii Calls was releasing their first half dozen or so Capital lps, and Apaka was serving as music director overseeing entertainment at Henry K's Hawaiian Village, including Martin Denny's combo. Most of the Decca and Capital stuff (that doesn't refer to his passing) should be dated from that time period. KG [ Edited by: Kailuageoff 2010-03-17 15:14 ]
