    Pua Lilia, when sung by the Cazimeros, can make me cry on the spot. It can be either stalkingly erotic or gut-rippingly forlorn. And both their original version w/Sunday Manoa or their recent "Some call it aloha" version offers that same pull. Perfect for weddings and funerals, I tell ya.

    English songs? Its somewhere along the lines of
    -Lively Up
    -Redemption Song,
    -and the live version of No Woman No Cry.

      Don't know if they're my favorite, but they're two I never get tired of hearing.

                    Shoo~oots!.

                    I haven't heard that song in a looong time.

                    I also like that song,
                    & anything that Kealii Reichel, sings
                    (wether in hawaiian &/or in english).

                    Aloha.

                      C&K's "ELUA" was, and remains, an amazing accomplishment in american music...and it continues to dwarf anything anyone in "Island Music" has done since "ELUA" was made...imho...
                      Don't be mean,
                      try to help.

                            I gotta echo Albert's praise for Gabby's "Hi`ilawe," with honorable mention to Ho`okena's "Ulili`e," which is great no matter who's doing it. Third place goes to Ka`au Crater Boys' version of "Kawika." Yes, I know everyone likes others' recordings of it better, but this one just rocks.

                            For non-Hawaiian, I'll take the Fabulous Krush's "Waialua Sky," followed by C&K's "About You" and Led Ka`apana's "Maunaloa Slack Key."
