Many a stereo bug could recognize the sounds immediately-and name the man who was making them. At 29, Arthur Lyman and his group of Hawaiian musicians are staples of the pop-record market. One album alone, titled Taboo, has sold close to 2,000,000 copies, and Lyman fans buy each new effort (Yellow Bird, Hawaiian Sunset, Taboo Vol. 2) with the enthusiasm of rare-stamp collectors. Back home in Hawaii, Lyman's mistily exotic mood music has been copied with varying success by a dozen groups. It draws tourists by the gross to the Shell...

"In a way," said one Hawaiian, "Sammy's the only innocent guy in the whole deal. All he wanted was publicity." All Too Fantastic. Most of Sammy's erstwhile business associates found it hard to be so forgiving.
