This jaunty little number about one of the lovely brown people of the Pacific is from Hal Aloma—the "King of the Steel Guitar." You can read about Hal here. His "Lure of the Islands" LP was released in 1959—the same year the island of Hawaii was admitted to the union to become the 50th united state of America. Liner notes and pictures from the back of the LP are included here:
