I've been listening to this album by Ray Conniff for the past couple nights. It dates to 1967.
Word is that Mr. Conniff wrote all the arrangements for the album during a two-week stay at the Kauai Surf Hotel. He was shown by Hawaiians how to strum the uke and also how to sing the songs in their own way. Ray said, "It was the most enjoyable two weeks work I've ever done in my career."
