Singer, Songwriter. Real name Kuiokalani Lee. A native of Shanghai, China, he was known as "The Lenny Bruce of Hawaii." Born of Hawaiian, Chinese, and Scottish descent to entertainers Billy and Ethel Lee, he became interested in show business as a teen and eventually became a knife dancer and then a choreographer. He later moved to New York and married his wife Nani Naone, with whom he had four children. During the 1960s he returned to Hawaii and it was here that he began to compose and sing. He also became a noted musical figure while playing several Hawaiian clubs or other venues including Kanaka Pete's in Maui, Kaila Gardens, Queen's Surf, and the Waikiki Shell. As a songwriter, Lee composed more then 200 songs but he is probably best remembered for one of his biggest hits, "I'll Remember You." The single was later recorded by the likes of Elvis Presley, Don Ho, and Andy Williams. Among Lee's other recordings are, "One Paddle, Two Paddle," "She's Gone Again," "No Other Song," "If I Had To Do It All Over Again," "Yes, It's You," "Rain, Rain Go Away," "Get On Home," "The Days Of My Youth," and "Lahainaluna." On October 18, 1966, during Aloha Week at the Waikiki Shell, Lee made one of his final appearances. During a performance by his wife of his last composition, "The Intangible Dream Came True," Lee watched from the audience. Shortly after his appearance at Aloha Week he was diagnosed with cancer. After his diagnosis Lee traveled to Tijuana, Mexico, where they were doing treatment on cancer patients using the U.S. banned and controversial drug Laetrile. He passed away at the Guadalajara Hospital in Tijuana on December 3, 1966, at the age of 34. According to his wishes he was buried at sea off the coast of Waikiki.
