Bill Ali'iloa Lincoln - Hawaii's Falsetto Poet.
<><><>
Bill Ali段loa Lincoln shared his musical talents with a grateful
Hawaii for over sixty years, composing poetic Hawaiian language songs,
performing on ukulele, guitar, bass, & piano, singing, dancing & teaching
hula, plus producing & performing
in Hawaiian shows around the world. More than all that however
it is Bill Ali段loa Lincoln痴 strong & clear voice that will always be
remembered, climbing
from bass to baritone,
then from tenor to falsetto
&
finally to an even higher falsetto register.
Bill Ali段loa Lincoln was one
of those few Hawaiian male singers that mastered the ability to sustain a
lofty note to its outer limits, grab a split second grasp of air, soar to
an even higher register, & then
dance in that rare air
with the utmost control & grace.
This collection of 20 songs vintage 1930s to 1970s typifies the best of
the Hawaiian hula
& the best of an amazing
Hawaiian falsetto singer.
