Johnny Ukulele - Favourite Selections By (Capitol ST 1425, LP, US, 1965-)








Born John Ka'aihue, 8 November 1901, Kalani, Hawaii
Died November 1971, Hollywood, California


"Jungle Song" is the bird-shriek killer (in the exotica one-off hall of fame) and is the chief reason for treasuring this rare LP; otherwise it's good as Hawaiian-exotica and a standout in the very small field (no pun intended) of ukulele-led LPs"

A01 Ua Like No A Like
A02 Maui Chimes
A03 Hawaiian Wedding Song
A04 Jungle Song
A05 Blue Hawaii

Ofori Amponsah [Mr All 4 Real] - She Nika (Westide Entertainment, TC, Ghana, 2007)





The only thing bigger than Highlife in Ghana is Hiplife, and Afori "Mr All 4 Real" Amponsah was top of the pile back in 2008.  

Asked why he has released another album when songs on his award winning Otoolege are still enjoying massive airplay, he said “Trust me I can afford to release every six months by God's grace, mine is a God-given talent so there is no limit to what I can do.”

There's typos in the track listing, the order is different on the cover, and a strange extra track too.  Nothing unusual probably.  The typo in the warning also gives a vague sense the watermark claim may not be 'all 4 real'.  


But why pick holes..?  More importantly!

Sensational Ghanaian musician Ofori Amponsah aka All 4 Real, has said he is now a born-again, spirit-filled, tongue-speaking, heaven-bound Christian and has actually formed his own church, the Family of Faith and Love Ministries where he ministers every Sunday.
