Tears come to my eyes when I listen to this CD (usually about two hours each day). I had just met Moe three days before he passed away and am so thankful I had that honor to meet such a wonderful talent and great man. This CD has some of the most beautiful songs, such as "A Part of Me, a Part of You" and "Aloha Is". He gives the pure meaning of Aloha. We'll miss you, Moe, and mahalo for sharing your sweet gift with us.

I first heard this CD at a friends home, and it captivated me. Moe Keala has a voice that is very lyrical whether he is singing in English or Hawaiian. The songs touched my heart in both languages. I have been listening to it for many years now and it still moves me. If Don Ho is your idea of Hawaiian music...try this and feel the real Hawaii!

I bought this album used from Jelly's in Pearl City (O'ahu, Hawai'i) and it is missing two tracks, most glaringly Mapuna Ka Hala O Kailua. In place of the missing tracks, the track Waialae has been added. The total track lineup on my version of Aloha is a part of me, a part of you.:

1) Kaula Ili 2) Ka Ua Ma'ema'e 3) Waialae 4) A part of me, a part of you (The Hospital Song) 5) Aloha Is 6) Kapalai'ula 7) Hanohano Wailea 8) Na Kama O Hailua 9) Aloha Chant

Buyer beware. I -love- Moe Keale and if you are unfamiliar with his music, this album is a great place to start. However, if you're buying this for that most popular track, make doubly sure the copy of the album you get has Mapuna Ka Hala O Kailua on it.

A friend told me about Moe Keale. He used to listen to Moe poolside at the Wiakiki Shereton and loves his music. I found "South Seas..." and was enthralled. Very touching, very beautiful.

Now I've purchased "Aloha Is..." and although it lists 11 tracks I only find 10 on the CD... Is everyone elses this way? Or is mine just missing it. Track 11 is listed as "Aloha Chant" ... I'd sure like to hear what I'm missing!
