Elvis Presley made television and entertainment history with his Elvis, Aloha
from Hawaii concert, performed at the Honolulu International Center Arena on January 14,1973.
Beamed live via Globe cam Satellite to various countries and on a delayed basis to approximately thirty European countries, it first aired in America that April 4th on NBC in edited form, including four insert songs shot just after concert.
In all, the concert was seen in about forty countries by 1 to 1.5 billion people that year, a global ratings smash. Never before had one performer held the world's attention in such a way. Aloha from Hawaii presents Elvis Presley at the pinnacle of his superstardom, giving one of the most outstanding concert performances of his career.
Kuiokalani Lee (31 July 1932 - 3 December 1966) was a singer-songwriter, who took part in show business both in New York and Hawaii.
Kui Lee only achieved fame for his own musical compositions toward the very end of his life. "The Extraordinary Kui Lee" was the only album released during his lifetime. Famous songs on that album included "I'll Remember You" (brought into even greater fame by Don Ho, Elvis Presley and Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau) and "Days of my Youth", now both well-known standards in Hawaii.
Kui Lee died of cancer in 1966 at age 34. He is sometimes referred to as the "Lenny Bruce" of Hawaii. The now famous Aloha from Hawaii concert by Elvis Presley in 1973, and concert merchandise sales were a benefit that raised $75,000 for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund.
