There were few female singers who recorded Hawaiian music in this period. Bernice Lynch was the daughter of one of the Hawaiian Club founders in the early 1930s. She recorded a mix of Hawaiian and country songs for Sydney-based Fidelity Records in the early 50s including this one by well-known Australian songwriter Reg Stoneham.
