Gentleman Songsters - Pa-hu-wa-hu-wai (Hawaiian war chant)


Playing Next: Santi & Tuğçe - Before The Storm
Random Page  /  Random Song


RCA master 023486, rec. New York, 10 June 1938.
Male quartet, details unknown.
This is the original version of the song, with Rudy Vallées Connecticut Yankees. These gentleman sound quite authentic to my teutonic ears - unlike some of the cover versions of the song. Maybe there is a Hawaiian listener who can tell us if this is the real McCoy?
The group appeared on some of Vallées radio shows, but I think this is their sole commercial recording. I don't think there is any connection between this group and the several \"Gentleman Songsters\" currently active, but please let me know if I am mistaken.
