“Hawaii Five-0” #4 5/10/1969

Book ‘em, Danno! The Ventures, perhaps the most successful instrumental group in rock history, had their third and last Top 10 hit with a version of the theme to TV’s long-running original “Hawaii Five-0.” Their original drummer, George Babbitt, had to quit the band because he was too young to play the clubs in their hometown of Tacoma; he later joined the Air Force and became a four-star general. Mel Taylor eventually took over behind the skins. Notice this video clip was done in the middle of the desert. Hardy har har har.
