In response to popular demand and our deep desire to preserve the very best in Hawaiian music, we at Hula Records are proud to present an anthology of vintage Hawaiian music – "Myra English, Best of the Champagne Lady." It's hard to resist the music of Myra English. It's evocative and gently persuasive, like a sunrise or a full moon. It's a riot of wonderful music sung in the "old time" style. It's classy, unique – like a glass of French champagne. Myra was a product of a Hawai‘i long gone, obliterated in the name of "progress" – a time when Hawaiian and hapa-haole music was heard EVERYWHERE in night clubs from Iwilei to Waikiki. Myra worked with the best in the business, and in her own right, has produced some of the Hawaiian music industry's biggest hits. Myra English (who died in 2001 at the age of 68) was far and away one of Hawai‘i's quintessential entertainers – not just a musician, not just a performer, but a word-class, well-rounded entertainer. She was a cultural treasure and one heck of a lady – a Champagne Lady... Biographical notes, photos, English and Hawaiiaiian lyrics and comments about each song are encluded in the CD booklet.
