OK, here's another controversial one… Should Don Ho be considered Tiki ?? Personally, I do because to me, he reinforces the Lounge culture aspect of Tiki (even if he bookends its final days). He's our very own Poly-Pop Frank Sinatra (well, Dean Martin anyway). I however get the impression that people here discount him solely because they dislike his schmaltzy style of singing. So what do others think about Don Ho. ..
Tiki or not Tiki ?? |
