Don Ho, Hawaiian singer best known for his song, "Tiny Bubbles," has died at the age of 76.
He died this morning of heart failure, publicist Donna Jung said.
Ho had a pacemaker installed last fall and has endured many heart problems over the years. In 2005, he even traveled to Thailand to undergo an experimental stem cell procedure on his heart .
Ho broke into the Waikiki entertainment scene in the early 1960's and never left.
Ho also became a television star, and hosted the "The Don Ho Show" on ABC from 1976-77. One of Ho's most memorable TV appearances was a 1972 cameo on an episode of "The Brady Bunch."
"I've had too much fun all these years," he said in the 2004 interview. "I feel real guilty about it."
