Ray Kinney and his Coral Islanders - "Hawaiian Favorites" (1957) - RCA Camden
Aloha Friends,
We're celebrating Hawaii's birthday tonight! It was on August 21, 1959 that the Hawaiian islands officially became our 50th State! So grab a hula girl, a stiff drink in a pineapple and let's get lei'd!
To celebrate, we're coming to you tonight from the Hawai'i Room in New York City's Lexington Hotel featuring the swooning, exotic island sounds of Hawaiian-born Ray Kinney and his orchestra. (Not really... this place stopped existing in 1966 but we're pretty loaded on rum and nostalgia tonight!)
Singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Ray Kinney had a career that lasted over 57 years, mostly specializing in Hawaiian music. This late 50's entry, contains a lot of the standard Hawaiian music that he created throughout his career. The Hawaiian boy with an Irish Name!
Here are some pretty cool-looking menus and photos from NYC's Lexington Hotel!
