COUNTRY COMFORT POSTER PERFORMING AT WAIKIKI SHELL IN HAWAII - Billy Kaui was a founding member of the legendary group Country Comfort. Kaui considered the self-destructive-drug-induced-collapse of Country Comfort his personal wake-up call so he cleaned up enrolling in a methadone treatment program, and then threw himself back into his music. Billy Kaui was on the verge of what would almost certainly have been an impressive career as a versatile pop vocalist and prolific composer with huge national potential. His unique voice is often compared to that of his contemporary Boz Scaggs. Tragically, Kaui died of a brain hemorrhage just three months after the December 1977 release of this self-titled solo album. He was just 28 leaving behind as legacy his daughter Roselyn Sebe Enos, Country Comfort and this album. It is important to note that Kaui was one of the first Hawaiian artists to incorporate Jamaican rhythms into contemporary Hawaiian music making his original composition Mr. Reggae one of the first Jawaiian songs ever.
