5.0 out of 5 stars As Hawaii Was
Great classic Hawaiian songs by the King of Hawaiian music, Don Ho. If you were ever in Hawaii in the '60s and '70s, you will love this CD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gold but Not Golden
For many a mainlander, Don Ho will always be the voice of Hawaii, and tunes like "Tiny Bubbles" and "Hawaiian Wedding Song" will forever accompany many a backyard or roooftop tiki party.

Unfortunately, by the time Ho recorded this collection he was a bit past his prime, and he sounds as though he's walking through the process of laying these tracks down...

3.0 out of 5 stars Gold but Not Golden, July 20, 2008
This review is from: Gold (Audio CD)
For many a mainlander, Don Ho will always be the voice of Hawaii, and tunes like "Tiny Bubbles" and "Hawaiian Wedding Song" will forever accompany many a backyard or roooftop tiki party.

Unfortunately, by the time Ho recorded this collection he was a bit past his prime, and he sounds as though he's walking through the process of laying these tracks down. It is grand having these mostly romantic tunes together in one place (especially "Papas Memento," which seems to be The Desiderata recast in Hawaiian Pidgin English!), and the program is ideal for at-home celebrations in need of a bit of exotica. But for more exciting takes on these songs, seek out Ho's 1960s work with his backing group The Aliis.

This CD is Ok for what it is. I prefer Don Ho's voice in his younger days, but I wanted Tiny Bubbles and the Hawaiian Wedding Song on one CD.
I was disappointed in the energy level and pronunciation.
