Memories of a Lovely Lei - Bernice Lynch and the South Sea Islanders

1953

    There were few female singers who recorded Hawaiian music in this period. Bernice Lynch was the daughter of one of the Hawaiian Club founders in the early 1930s. She recorded a mix of Hawaiian and country songs for Sydney-based Fidelity Records in the early 50s including this one by well-known Australian songwriter Reg Stoneham.
