A.k.a. Richard Ho'opi'i

Richard (Rick) Ho'opi'i was born on March 15, 1941. He and his brother Solomon found a love of singing at their church and church functions, which is when they decided to make a living from it by performing at hotels throughout Maui. They had formed the Ho'onaunea Serenaders before simply calling themseves the Ho'opi'i (Hoopii) Brothers. While Sol was known for his rugged tones, it was Rick who offered the group's sweet falsettos in such songs as "Ei Nei", "Kupa Landing", and "Hawaiian Rainbow".
