In the summer of 1965, Marlene Sai and The Invitations came together on Makaha Records.
Marlene Sai – just a few years earlier, as a teenage sensation with the remarkable voice, she had captured the collective hearts of the islands.
Now she had come of age just in time to team up with Hawaii’s premiere smooth jazz and harmony group that had been evolving since 1958.
Two long playing 33 1/3 RPM record albums, “Kiss Me Love” by Buddy Fo & the Invitations, and “Sweet Someone” by Marlene Sai with Buddy Fo & the Invitations, were released almost simultaneously in the summer of 1965.
Today, we’ll listen to some of our favorite selections from the recorded legacy of Marlene Sai with Buddy Fo & the Invitations.
