Entertainer Don Ho Dead at 76
HONOLULU — Legendary crooner Don Ho, known for his raspberry-tinted sunglasses and catchy signature tune "Tiny Bubbles," has died, his publicist said. He was 76.
Publicist Donna Jung said the singer died Saturday morning of heart failure. He had suffered with heart problems for the past several years, and had a pacemaker installed last fall. In 2005, he underwent an experimental stem cell procedure on his ailing heart in Thailand in 2005.
I've never listened to anything from Don Ho. If I did, I must not have liked it. But I thought I would share a little story.
At my store, there used to be (or what appeared to be) a Hawaiian man who delivered for Hostess. We used to call him Don Ho-ho. I thought it was funny.
