Biography:
ALFRED APAKA
Alfred Aholo Apaka was born in Honolulu in 1919 and died suddenly in 1960. His stunning baritone and good looks earned him the title of 'The Golden Voice of Hawaii.' He graduated from Roosevelt High where he was an athlete, singer, emcee and ROTC cadet captain. His family moved to Molokai but he and his sisters were shunned because their English was too good and the family moved back to Oahu. His father, Alfred A. Apaka, was also a singer and often performed with his son.
