"This by far is the finest, warmest, charming, most entertaining Hawaiian album ever put out by a choral group. Mancini's album "Versatile Henry Mancini " comes in second and his fabulous collection puts together another six star album. It is a classic in an instrumental presentation of true Hawaiian sounds. It too, is in a class of its own as it takes you to the islands with all of the magical sounds that only Mancini can incorporate and bring Hawaii right into your living room. I accidentally lost my Conniff album when I got rid of some old LP's. I was thrilled to find it here on Amazon (good old faithful) This is the original album Conniff made in the sixties. What's best is this is a CD. Every single tune on this album is a six star winner. Anyone looking for true Hawaiian sounds that only Ray Conniff can master into Island Magic in a choral arrangement, look no farther, you've found it. I just E-Mailed my kids (I'm 72) to tell them we've recovered the lost gem. They were thrilled as they grew up with this wonderful music and do so appreciate being able to hear it once again."
