In the spring of 2007, legendary Hawaiian entertainer Don Ho sat down with veteran music biographer Jerry Hopkins for a series of interviews meant to complete his memoirs...a project he'd put off doing for years. These interviews turned out to be the final ones of his life. Don passed away in April 2007.
This unique autobiography chronicling Donald Tai Loy Ho's life is a "modern Hawaiian quilt" of memories. The ambassador of aloha, Ho embodied the laid-back tropical lifestyle worldwide through his recordings and appearances both on television and in concert, and along the way became Hawai`i's best-known and most beloved personality of all time.
There are hundreds of images including album covers, memorabilia items and photographs from personal collections. Stories told in Don's own words, augmented by stories from family, friends and peers. Inside stories from his "small-kid" time, backstage at the shows, through his cutting edge stem-cell heart treatment and touching narratives about his funeral.
