Five years ago today Don Ho ascended in a spiraling cloud of tiny bubbles to the great luau in the sky.

Here’s the master of mellowness covering Peter Gabriel’s “Shock The Monkey” from the album When Pigs Fly and The Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” on The Conan O’Brian Show in 1995.
 

 
My favorite Don Ho tune after the jump…

 
Don Ho died on this date four years ago and I can’t imagine a better way to commemorate his legacy than sharing this live footage from the early 1990s of Ho singing his classic song “Suck ‘Em Up.” Enjoy now. Thank me later.

Don is definitely in Dean Martin mode on this one.
