It has been written about by Jim Heimann and others (I mentioned it in "Taboo-The Art Of Tiki"). Here's a clip from the upcoming Taschen L.A. guide for which I wrote the Polynesian Pop chapter: "Bob Brooks had discovered the artistic talent of the painter Edgar Leeteg in Tahiti and decorated his whole establishment with the native portraits of this “Rembrandt of black velvet painting”. He also installed the first “Rain on the roof” effect over his bar, and his Polynesian floor shows were accompanied by Sam Koki and Band, who had played on Bing Crosby’s hit recording of “Sweet Leilani”." I gave the author of the "Leeteg of Tahiti" book a giant Seven Seas postcard and a B&W photo of Bob Brooks with an unknown band for the interview with Otto part (p.60/61)
