Inspired by a natural phenomena . . . that rainbows ARE everywhere in Hawai`i, this was originally written as a jingle for an advertising client. When it was turned down, Keith added another verse and recorded it with the Waimanalo Keikis in 1979. Those fortunate enough to notice them will see rainbows almost every day of their lives. It is the composer's hope that at the end of your rainbow, you'll find something even more preicous than a pot of gold. The song was used by Hawaiian Telephone Co. as the theme music on a float that won the Governor's Trophy (First Prize) in the Kamehameha Day Parade. It was the title song of Keith & Carmen's first LP. It has also been recorded by Lanakila Rittenband. And it was selected by a curriculum committee at the University of Hawai`i and was published in a State DOE music textbook in the 80s.
