"l'll Remember You" is a song written by Kui Lee in 1964. After he returned to Hawaii from the mainland United States in 1961, Lee worked at the night club Honey's as a doorman. Lee taught himself to sing, and he started to compose songs. He convinced Don Ho, the son of the owner, to let him perform at the club.

Ho liked Lee's original composition "I'll Remember You". He sang it on his live shows, and he eventually recorded his own version. Ho enjoyed success in the mainland, and Lee's composition became popular. It was recorded by multiple acts, including Andy Williams and Elvis Presley. Thanks to its success, Lee was hired to play at the Queen's Surf night club in Hawaii. Lee's own version was released on his debut album The Extraordinary Kui Lee.

Background

Following his stint as a knife dancer in the mainland United States,^[1] Kui Lee returned to Hawaii in 1961. Lee and his wife worked at the club Honey's. Initially, Lee worked as a doorman.^[2] Though disencouraged by his wife, he taught himself to sing. Eventually, he persuaded Honey's main act, singer Don Ho to let him perform at the club. Soon after, Lee began composing his own songs.^[3] He wrote "I'll Remember You" after his wife left him, and moved to live with her sister in New Jersey in 1963. Lee's wife later returned to him.^[4] He needed four hours to compose the song.^[5]

By 1964 Lee had been diagnosed with cancer.^[3] During a gathering with friends at Ho's apartment, he revealed his recent diagnosis, and later sung his new composition for the present. Ho then proceeded to ask Lee to sing the song repeatedly for him for the next four hours, to be able to capture his feelings, and his exact interpretation of the number. Without sleeping, Ho drove to the Duke club to work the arrangements of the song with his band, The Ali'is. He included the song on his set that night, and invited Lee to join him onstage to perform it after introducing him.^[6]

Recordings

Ho was at the time signed by Reprise Records.^[7] In 1965, he released his version of "I'll Remember You" it with "E Lei Ka Lei Lei (Beach Party Song)" as the flipside.^[8] Don McDiarmid became the publisher of the song, and responsible for its distribution on the mainland.^[9] Eddie Suzuki, Lee's manager, signed him to play regular appearances at the nightclub Queen's Surf in Honolulu.^[9] Lee had his debut night on October 22, 1965. Lee received an intense ovation for his performance of "I'll Remember You".^[10] He was acclaimed for his appearances at the club, and he attracted large crowds to Queen's Surf.^[9]

McDiarmid offered the song to Andy Williams,^[9] who released a version, and performed it on his television show in December.^[11] By 1966, Elvis Presley recorded his own version. It featured an introduction with spanish guitar. The scratch vocals were initially recorded by Presley's bodyguard Red West. Presley later recorded his track that closely followed Ho's style. For the ending of the song, a chorus composed by Millie Kirkham, June Page and Dolores Eagan joined Presley.^[12] By the time of Lee's death, in December 1966 there were twenty-eight versions of the song by different artists.^[13] Lee's own version was released the day before his death with the album The Extraordinary Kui Lee.^[14] By the end of December, Roger Williams version peaked at twenty-four on the Billboard Hot 100.^[15] Ho included a newly recorded version of "I'll Remember You" on his 1968 album, The Don Ho Show. The Honolulu Advertiser called it a "palatable piece with charming vibrance", but remarked that the new version of the song "suffer(ed) in revival without the vocal manipulations of the Aliis".^[16]

New York Times called it "one of the most enduring Hawaiian standards".^[17] Tommy Sands performed the song in the 1968 Hawaii Five-O episode "No Blue Skies".^[18] Presley included the song in his live sets from 1972.^[12] He sang it on his live television special, Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite,^[19] a benefit concert for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund.^[20] "I'll Remember You" remained on his sets until the summer of 1976.^[12] Other artists that recorded the song included: Tony Bennett,^[21] Tennessee Ernie Ford,^[22] Connie Francis,^[23]

Perhaps the most famous version was by his friend [[Don Ho]], who was an aspiring singer at [[Honey's Nightclub]], where Lee worked as a doorman and which was owned by Don Ho's mother.<ref>Enomoto, Catherine Kekoa. "Kui Lee: 'One of the all-time geniuses of Hawaii.'" ''[[Honolulu Star-Bulletin]]''. May 15, 1997</ref>
+==Background==
-Frank Sinatra's daughter, Nancy Sinatra, visited 'Honey's' with friends. Hearing Don Ho perform and watching his ease with the patrons of the club, she reported Don's uniqueness to her father who had just started his own record label. Don Ho and his musicians recorded their first 45rpm for Reprise Records the following year; "Tiny Bubbles" and "I'll Remember You" on the flip side.
+Following his stint as a knife dancer in the mainland United States,{{sfn|Hopkins, Jerry|p=74|2002}} [[Kui Lee]] returned to Hawaii in 1961. Lee and his wife worked at the club Honey's. Initially, Lee worked as a doorman.{{sfn|Enomoto, Catherine Kekoa|1997}}  Though disencouraged by his wife, he taught himself to sing.

Lee's wife later returned to  him.{{sfn|Wynne, Bill|2014}} He needed four hours to compose the song.{{sfn|Paradise of the Pacific staff|1965}}
+By  1964 Lee had been diagnosed with cancer.{{sfn|Gene, Hunter|1965|p=C7}} During a gathering with friends at Ho's apartment, he revealed his recent diagnosis, and later sung his new composition for the present. Ho then proceeded to ask Lee to sing the song repeatedly for him for the next four hours, to be able to capture his feelings, and his exact interpretation of the number. Without sleeping, Ho drove to the Duke club to work the arrangements of the song with his band, The Ali'is. He included the song on his set that night, and invited Lee to join him onstage to perform it after introducing him.{{sfn|Bolante, Ronna; Keany, Michael|2007}}
-Several years later, Don Ho was performing in Waikiki as the headliner of Duke's in the International Market Place. Don performed twice nightly (though there were times he didn't leave the stage). His "Suck 'em Up" (late show) was often standing room only. Many musicians who knocked off their hotel lounge gigs by midnight, would drop in to perform. It was the hottest entertainment at the best prices in town, and often went on long after the club was scheduled to close.
+==Recordings==
-Hawaii was a staging ground for the [[Vietnam War]], for many U.S. military personnel. As such it was the last U.S. soil many personnel left, and the first when returning home. The United States military afforded combat-duty personnel a two-week leave in mid-tour. Often the military allowed Military Air Command flights for both husband and wife to meet. Their most popular stay was at the Hale Koa Hotel in the heart of Ft. Derussy, a relatively short walk from the International Market Place. The lure of Hawaii's best entertainers and all one could drink for $5, made Duke's legendary.
+Ho was at the time signed by  [[Reprise Records]].{{sfn|Chidester, Brian; Priore, Dominic|2008|p=197}}  In 1965, he released his version of "I'll Remember You" it with "E Lei Ka Lei Lei (Beach Party Song)" as the flipside.{{sfn|Neely, Tim|2002|p=563}}  Don McDiarmid became the publisher of the song, and responsible for its distribution on the mainland.{{sfn|Williams, Jack|1965|p=B1}} Eddie Suzuki, Lee's manager, signed him to play regular appearances at the nightclub Queen's Surf in [[Honolulu]].{{sfn|Williams, Jack|1965|p=B1}} Lee had his debut night on October 22, 1965.

-Don often closed the "Suck 'em Up" show by performing the song "I'll Remember You". For those service personnel about to be sent back into war and their wives soon to be thousands of miles away, this song resonated with many. Elvis Presley had an affinity for the Islands and gave the song a broader audience. An insert in a mid-1960s movie, it was a stunning benefit concert in Honolulu six years later, ''[[Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite]]'', that catapulted the song's popularity. Within the next few years, the song had been recorded by several well-known singers of the period.
+Ho included a newly recorded version of "I'll Remember You" on his 1968 album, ''The Don Ho Show''. The ''[[Honolulu Advertiser]]'' called it a "palatable piece with charming vibrance", but remarked that the new version of the song "suffer(ed) in revival without the vocal manipulations of the Aliis".{{sfn|Harada, Wayne|1968|p=B4}}

-Kui Lee was a prolific composer, writing many songs popular in Hawaii. Knowing of a late-diagnosed terminal illness, this song was written/dedicated to his wife and three young daughters. Kui passed within a couple years of penning "I'll Remember You".
