Article Title

The gospel roots of "Hawaii Aloha."

Description

Though many assume that the Reverend Lorenzo Lyons (1807-1886), known as Makua Laiana, wrote both the words and music of the iconic "Hawaii Aloha," the song actually has two sources. While the Hawaiian lyrics were written by Lyons, a naturalized Hawaiian citizen, the popular tune was penned by American gospel hymn writer, James McGranahan (1840-1907).
