"Beyond the Reef"
Song

"Beyond The Reef" is a song written by Canadian Jack Pitman in Hawaii in 1948. It was first performed by Hawaiian artist Napua Stevens in 1949. Bing Crosby covered the song a year later in 1950 and Elvis Presley recorded his version of the song on 27 May 1966.[1][2] The Elvis recording was only released on a boxset in 1980/1.[3] The Ventures also covered the song[4] on their third album, Another Smash, in September 1961.[5] George Greeley recorded an instrumental version of the song in 1960 on his Warner Bros.album, The Most Beautiful Music of Hawaii. Andy Williams released a version on his 1959 album, To You Sweetheart, Aloha. Although it is heavily influenced by Hawaiian music it does not contain any Hawaiian language words or any mention of Hawaii.[6] It is a slow song in the key of C major with a 2-5-1 progression with D minor, G major and C major. It features the steel guitar, typical of Hawaiian music.
