Beautiful, as always! I went to college with Debbie Gima the year she won Miss Aloha Hawaii. No one had ever sung a song the way she did "Kaneohe." I asked her hiw she learned to sing like that. She said "Aunty Genoa taught me."

It is amazing how long Aunty Genoa held that note, and then went even higher.

Aunty Genoa was my first experience in Hawaiian music, and left me breathless. So grateful I got to see her in person! Mahalo Nui Loa for posting this!

I had the amazing and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Aunty Genoa at the Kaumakapili Church on Oahu back in the late 1990's with her grand daughter, they were playing ukulele together and singing together. It was nothing short of an almost out-of-body experience!

The greatest Hawaiian Singer Ever!!!!! She is the Front face of the mount Rushmore or Mauna Kea of Hawaiian music. Love you Aunty! Thank you for all the music that we can pass on. My 17 year old Daughter sent this to me. Your music lives on even for those that came after you!

I met her Nephew Michael Ritchison, Arline's Son! He loves to talk about his Hawaiian heritage and I love his kindness. His Mom is very pretty. I loved the song and I shared it with my family. !
