Thanks for the posts everyone, some more great info added.

I did a little more research on Sterling Mossman/Doug Mossman brothers.

Doug Mossman had a character on Hawaiian Eye and Sterling did music cameos (along with Arthur Lyman).

From Wikpedia:

Moke, played by Doug Mossman, was the chief uniformed security officer for Hawaiian Eye. He went by several variant names in the first season before the writers finally settled on one.

Guest musical acts

All of the Warner Brothers detective shows of this era featured a musical interlude, generally performed by a series regular. On occasion, Hawaiian Eye had a guest act perform:

Sterling Mossman and his Barefoot Bar Gang. A real policeman by day, Sterling also performed nights at the Barefoot Bar, one of Honolulu's most popular tourist attractions from 1952–1969.

Arthur Lyman and his exotic tropical sounds. In one episode Connie Stevens sang a version of the title song accompanied by Lyman's group.

Sterling was also in the pilot for Hawaii 5-0, as reported here:

The Outrigger Canoe Club is dressed to resemble the notorious Barefoot Bar, which was too small to accommodate both patrons and a camera crew. Sterling Mossman's Barefoot Bar Gang performs the Tahitian number behind Kuoha-Torco as well as "Ain't no big thing," to be heard a few more times during the series.

Be fun to see a clip of that scene to see what the Barefoot Bar looked like on set.

Sterling Mossman also had line of cool Hawaiian shirts called Barefoot in Paradise.
