Don Ho

Hawaii has lost one of its most popular attractions with the death of Hawaiian entertainer Don Ho.

Promoter-producer Tom Moffatt said he once told a Los Angeles Times reporter, "People who come to Hawaii know three things -- Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor and Don Ho.

"His name is synonymous with Hawaii."

Ho died yesterday morning at the Queen's Medical Center of heart failure at age 76.

Ho, famous for his hit songs "Tiny Bubbles" and "I'll Remember You," played to capacity crowds in Waikiki for more than 40 years with a signature "Ain't No Big Thing" style.
