Arthur Lyman Group

• Taboo – His first hit, from the summer
• Love For Sale – From the winter of 1963.
• Jungle Drums
• Black Orchid – I have this also by Martin Denny. Not the Stevie Wonder song.
• Afro Blue
• Bwana A
• Yellow Bird – His big hit, from the summer of 1961. This sad tale of lost romance is best known by The Mills Brothers.
• Cotton Fields – By Leadbelly. The Highwaymen put it on the charts, and so did The Beach Boys. The most idiosyncratic version may be by CCR.
• Blue Hawaii – So many versions of this, even Elvis
• Midnight Swim
• Hawaii Tattoo – If this isn’t Hawaii’s national anthem, it ought to be.
• Pele – A song about a volcano.
