50 Fabulous Hawaiian Favorites

Medley #1
50 Fabulous Hawaiian Favorites
Leroy Holmes And The Southwinds
Produced by Leroy Holmes
United Artists Records UAL 3353
1964

One of a series of UA albums featuring "50" songs (medleys) on disc packaged inside jackets that were produced with similar cover treatments.

From Billboard - April 11, 1964: Hawaiian music gets a striking showcasing in this roundup of 50 songs of and about the islands by Leroy Holmes. The maestro see to it that rhythms sway and chart the tempo enchants and it's to his credit that the Hawaiian load never gets tiresome.

  1. The jewel of this series, at least for me, is 50 Fabulous Harmonica Favorites by Big Buddy Lucas & The Wigglers. Spoiler: all the favorites on that album are oldies!
