Early life

Don Hồ, whose real name is Hồ Mạnh Dũng, was born on February 22, 1962, in Saigon, Vietnam. His family originally came from northern Vietnam, but they left in 1954 through Operation Passage to Freedom, fleeing the encroachment of communist rule over North Vietnam. He came to the United States in 1980 and attended Santa Ana Valley High School. During his senior year, he participated in a choral group called Chamber Singers. As a young man, Don Hồ has proved to be skillful in painting. He received a scholarship from an art school in New York, but his love for singing turned him from his path to becoming a painter.

Five nights a week, Don Ho sat center stage behind his Hammond chord organ, singing some of his favorite songs and "talking story" with his audience. He taught the visitors how to make a "shaka" sign. Holding up his right hand with thumb and pinky finger extended, as he said, "This means Family in Hawaii," and jokes, "or at least it did when I was growing up. Nowadays to the kids, it just means 'hang loose.'"

 

What Don Ho did is easier to describe than how he did it. He lounged at the organ, caressing the keys. He sang a song in a sleepy, intimate voice. He got the audience singing and clapping until pretty soon individual members of the audience were on stage to be kissed and hugged and teased. But his magic is harder to pinpoint.

 

Donald Tai Loy Ho was born, the second of eight children, in the little Honolulu neighborhood of Kakaako, of Hawaiian, Chinese, Portuguese, German-Dutch parentage. His mother Emily "Honey" Leimaile Silva Ho and his father James "Jimmy" Ah You Ho soon moved the family to Kaneohe. Don's climb to the heady heights of show busines
