Don Ho was perhaps the ultimate lounge singer, Hawaiian style. He also had a bachelors degree in sociology and was an Air Force veteran. His family owned a bar on Oahu where he regularly performed for the tourists. Don landed a deal with Frank Sinatra's Reprise label, but he made a decent living in the clubs on Waikiki. This record set a Hot 100 longevity mark for never getting above #50 (17 weeks).
