The Enchanted Sound of the Islanders is one of the unsung classic Exotica albums. Some of the original Frank Metis-Randy Starr songs on this LP that were later covered by the more well known Exotica masters include: Tramp Steamer, The Enchanted Sea, Kon-Tiki and City Under the Sea. Contemporary Hawaii sounds.
The Islanders consisted of Randy Starr (Warren Nadel ) on guitar / whistling. He also performed as a solo singer for a number of record labels, as well as penning songs for other artists, including "Kissin' Cousins" with Fred Wise, for Elvis.
