The first Tiki group??? Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey with Tikis!!!

These are pics from a filmed live show of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra with Frank Sinatra performing "Hawaiian War Chant" some time in 1942 or early 43. This is 8-9 years before Les Baxter released Ritual of the Savage in Nov 1951.

This is a scene from the 1942 film "Ship Ahoy". Sinatra was in the film but uncredited. However, it did star Eleanor Powell, Red Skelton and Bert Lahr in major roles.
