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.
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 worldâ’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.
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’s. 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.
