Few examples exist of the live television series Harry Owens and his Royal Hawaiians. This long running live TV series was on the air from 1949 to 1958. When living in Hawaii, Harry Owens researched Hawaiian songs that had been passed from generation to generation by word of mouth. He introduced the world to a genre of hapa-haole music. Sponsored by Regal beer. Steel guitar, beautiful graceful Hula dancers, Hawaiian songs, and Harry's “Big Band“ the Royal Hawaiians is a treat we can enjoy again through the medium of 16mm Kinescope film. Airdate March 24, 1954 on KNTX-TV CBS Los Angeles.
