Don Ho

Don Ho, born Donald Tai Loy Ho , (August 13, 1930 – April 14, 2007) was a Hawaiian and traditional pop musician, singer and entertainer.

Ho, of Chinese, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Dutch, and German descent, was born in the small Honolulu neighborhood of Kaka?ako, but he grew up in K?ne?ohe on the windward side of the island of O?ahu. He was a graduate of the Kamehameha Schools in 1949 and he attended Springfield College in 1950, but returned home to earn a bachelor’s degree in sociology at University of Hawai’i in 1953. In 1954 Ho entered the United States Air Force and spent time flying fighter jets in both Texas and Hawaii. He said that when he was stationed at Keesler AFB, he went to the local town of Concord, CA and bought an electronic keyboard from a music store, and recalls, “That’s when it all started.”

Guest appearances on television shows such as I Dream of Jeannie, The Brady Bunch, Sanford and Son, Batman, Charlie’s Angels, and Fantasy Island soon followed. Although his album sales peaked in the late 1960s, he was able to land a television series on ABC from October 1976 to March 1977 with the Don Ho Show variety program which aired on weekday mornings

She performed on many of his 1970s hits including “I Shot the Sheriff” and “Lay Down Sally”. She sang the role of Mary Magdalene in the original album of Jesus Christ Superstar and in the subsequent Broadway and film version, and achieved her first hit single with the ballad “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”.[1] The song was her first entry on the U.S. charts, peaking at #28 pop in 1971, although a cover version by Helen Reddy was a bigger hit. This performance led to a 1974 Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy… Read more about Yvonne Elliman on Wikipedia.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled Tuesday that four students challenging the admission policy of Kamehameha Schools cannot sue the school anonymously.

The lawsuit says the students were illegally denied admission to the schools because they do not have Hawaiian ancestry. Kamehameha Schools argues that its admissions preference for children of Native Hawaiian ancestry is legal because the schools are a private institution and the policy is intended to address the social and economic disadvantages of the Native Hawaiian people since the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Kamehameha CEO responds after court upholds rejection of lawsuit against admissions policy. Video courtesy Kamehameha Schools
