Biography
Delivered on the isle of Kauai to some Hawaiian-Chinese mom and an Irish-Swedish dad, Ed Kenney was to prove himself equally adept on stage, in nightclubs, and in saving studios. The favorite baritone epitomizes the indigenous son deeply in love with his homeland; his capability and commitment to Hawaiian music brand-new and old held him running a business for many years. Kenney went to prep school on the piano scholarship gained in junior high; following that he visited the School of Oregon, where he made an appearance in productions such as for example Brigadoon. Time for Hawaii, he had taken lead jobs in productions on the Honolulu Community Movie theater and started nightclub performing and recording. Back again in the mainland in 1955, he gained a Rodgers and Hammerstein scholarship or grant and made an appearance in Broadway’s Shangri-La. Kenney after that returned to Hawaii for performing engagements using the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra as well as the Royal Hawaiian Resort. Kenney agreed upon with Columbia Images, but rather than making films, he thought we would take a component in Rose Drum Song. Quickly thereafter, Kenney’s friend Eaton Magoon, Jr. composed 13 Daughters — Broadway’s first Hawaiian musical — for Kenney, spotlighting his capability to sing in Hawaiian and British in addition to accurate Hawaiian falsetto. Kenney came back to Hawaii in 1961 to headline at Duke Kahanamoku’s for most months. His afterwards career is recognized by comedy materials (including some novelty music firmly within the Hawaiian custom of poking fun at ethnicity), in addition to songs in the present day style produced by Kui Lee and Don Ho.
