Lost in a world without My Dad R.I.P. Rudy van Dalm one of the pedal steel guitar player with the album greetings from Hawaii "' Aloha to You '", heard the song Hawaiian wedding song. A style of music that is unique , alive and vibrant. When his golden voice begins to flow his audience BEGINS TO SENSE THAT IS IN THE PRESENCE OF A MAN WHO HAS MASTERED HIS MUSIC. Miss you Dad !!! I am blessing with all your wonderful songs Dad AND NOW YOU ARE WITH MOM FLYING TOGETHER AND LOOK DOWN . MISSING DAD AND MOM. "Farewell To Thee (Aloha Oe)"

Wish I could explain to my Younger self that he will one day love the music of les paul and Mary Ford. The fact that he turned recording into an art form is incredible But their sound is gorgeous Damn, younger self, you missed out

[@kingoma61]

Les Paul wrote three of the songs on the album, "Golden Sands", "Hawaiian Charms", and "Pacific Breeze". He also arranged the final song on the album, "Farewell To Thee (Aloha Oe)", written by Liliuokalani. Both a mono, CL 1276, and a stereo, CS 8086, version were released. No lyrics are sung on the album. There are, however, background vocals. Three EPS or Extended Play 45s were also released. Les Paul and His Trio had released a similar Hawaiian-themed album in 1949 entitled Hawaiian Paradise on Decca Records as DL 5018, a 10" mono LP album.

This reminds me of me and my husbands first date at a tiki bar. See you soon my love.

[@RayWyland]

Ok, This album is truly incredible!

[@TorontoJon]

I bought this Les Paul and Mary Ford 'Lovers' Luau' LP many years ago for 50 cents from a local Salvation Army Thrift Store. Ironically, I never gave it a serious listen, but now I have to thanks to seeing this KZbin video. :)

[@lucbriere]

+TorontoJon Bought mine yesterday for $1, got ripped off! It's in great shape though! No cracks and pops whatsoever. Like it has never been played.

[@roybodden9243]

I bought this album back in 1960, and yes, I LIKE it. But I would have LOVED it even better if Mary had sung even a few of the songs!

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

Exactly! If it's titled Les Paul AND Mary Ford where's Mary?? Singing the oohs and ahhs in the background?

[@monsterdito]

BANANA, PINNEAPLES, SAND, COCONUT TREES, SUNSET

[@TheTruthRocks]

Listened to this one today on my turntable. I have the Columbia 1276 mono record. It's not in stereo, but the jacket is signed by Les Paul :o) so that increases the fidelity!

[@TaoNN41]

So sweet, so melodious !

[@renatoalcides5104]

Sooner than we expect, this kind of elegance, tranquility and ease, will not be understandable by future generations. It will just be another proof of our degenete progress.

[@VictorianMaid99]

Dreamy music. Reminds me of when Elvis went to Hawaii.

[@roybodden9243]

My favorite album by Les and Mary is titled "Time to Dream". What an absolutely beautiful album! It was recorded quite a few years before this album. It was on the Capitol label.

[@karlhungus5554]

Although this is an old post, I wanted to thank you for the suggestion, Roy. As I type this, I'm listening to the 1957 Capitol album "Time to Dream" by Les Paul and Mary Ford. It's fantastic. kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_ljoHyQ2hF1YWyvD2LXCH2mqTC3sPOerBw

[@kznte]

I have this album and completely forgotten how beautiful it is Thank you for posting :)

[@TheoPhile333]

So many albums... so little time. Les was a magical guitarist. I could listen to this over and over... and over.

[@hojoinhisarcher]

Muy buena selección y audio. Excelente idea de agregar el repertorio pautado por tiempo, es muy útil. Gracias

[@kevingruenofficial]

he's loving all those women damn Les Paul was a player

[@Rickzenbackzer]

Almost looks like Les is giving us the middle finger haha...

[@bilwisss]

i blame the "2 finger poi"

[@bobduvar]

That's the way the british archers used to do on Azincourt battle in 1415...The british archers showed two fingers and the french ones showed one finger (if i catch you i'll cut your fingers)....

[@Bojanmarsetic]

I have this record. The song order on the jacket does not match the label on the record. The label on the record shows: A1) Blue Hawaii 0:00 A2) Drifting and dreaming 2:42 A3) King's serenade 5:05 A4) Song of the Islands 7:19 A5) Sweet Leilani 10:08 A6) To you sweetheart, Aloha 12:31 B1) On the beach at Waikiki 14:58 B2) Golden sands 17:26 B3) My little grass shack 19:47 B4) Hawaiian charms 22:30 B5) Pacific breeze 24:28 B6) Farewell to thee (Aloha Oe) 27:00

[@brunofantonifilho6715]

vou demorar bastante nesta página, pois pretendo ouvir todos os vídeos de músicas hawaianas

[@JDFosterbassdude]

The titles for B1) and B5) are inverted. Looks to me like they made this mistake on the front cover , way back when. But B1 @ 14:58 is definitely "On the beach at Waikiki"

[@MrPatdeeee]

Sadly, this is a common thing in records.

[@STPlsd]

first track is definitely blue hawaii

[@AustinCasey]

This is the internets though... accuracy is for squares.

[@davidmajor4484]

Dr. Hofmann, requesting you to please pin a songlist. Gracias

[@arthurparker7705]

Just who’s playing the steel guitar part

[@arthurparker7705]

One thing I've always wondered. Is Mary on this record ?

[@CaptZdq1]

I think u put side B first.

[@MrSottobanco]

Did Hawaiians actually listen to this music regularly in 1959?

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

a great guitarist and inventor of multi tracking, but you cant beat a lap steel guitar for playing hawaiian music. listen to jerry byrd playing the hawaiian song SAND.

[@RonaldVaughan]

For all Les Paul's talents,he could NOT play steel guitar.....this is the only dud LP of his....

[@RonaldVaughan]

And he admitted he HATED Hawaiian music....go figure!

[@roybodden9243]

The problem with this album is Mary Ford doesn’t even sings on one track! I bought this album about 60 years ago. Their best albums were on the Capitol record label!

[@edmayer9944]

Ed/Ekualo Mayer

[@LetoTheThird]

les paul is a guitar

[@roybodden9243]

There is one big thing wrong with this LP, Mary doesn’t sing even one song! I bought this album over 50 years ago and it is the least favorite of all of my Les Paul and Mary Ford(?) albums!
