Kui Lee, “I’ll Remember You,” from The Extraordinary Kui Lee (Columbia, 1966)
This later became a hit for Elvis as well as Don Ho (whose over-the-top version starts playing, whether you like it or not, if you go to donho.com…you have been warned). But it’s Kui Lee’s sparse, plaintive, gorgeous original that’s considered the standard in Hawaii. The bittersweetness is only compounded by the fact that Lee died from cancer, just 34 years old, later the same year that “I’ll Remember You” was released.
