Remembering Kauai's Larry Ramos, the First Asian American Grammy Winner

The 66th annual Grammy awards are being held this Sunday in Los Angeles. But did you know the first Asian American to win a Grammy was from Kauai?

Never My Love! I at 57 am finally experiencing what that is like. I hav always loved this song. His vocals are sublime on this smooth groove. The harmonies area as good as they come. Right there with the Beach Boys, Bee Gee's and Eagles to name a few.

Larry was great. As you probably know when he was introduce on the Smothers Brother show, The Association, They say he was made in China! What an insult.

recently, when Jerry Seinfeld said that PC was ruining comedy, he was referring to responses such as yours...the Smothers Brothers show was, primarily, a COMedy show...you think they didn't know that Larry wasn't Chinese?

I bet that he smiled on stage because he was from Hawaii.

How come people from the Philippines missed this recognition? Where’s the Pinoy pride here but I could be wrong.
