Review by Bob and Donna Angelo
George Cates Polynesian Percussion is a captivating album that takes listeners on a musical journey to the Pacific Islands. The album features George Cates, a talented composer and arranger, who expertly blends traditional Polynesian rhythms and melodies with modern instrumentation to create an unforgettable listening experience.
The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "Pagan Love Song," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Cates' use of percussion instruments throughout the album is masterful, creating a dynamic and rhythmic landscape that transports listeners to the tropics.

I used to listen to this album on my parents' turntable when I was little - mid-60s. Imagine my surprise when I found this song on YouTube. But, hey, it's got 35 views. Yes!!
my dad played and played this album on his super stereo system. i miss hearing it so much! thanks for posting this!!
I used to listen to this, too! It was on a demonstration LP my parents got when they purchased a Packard Bell stereo.
I have that album. I haven't heard it in years because I don't have a record player.
Thank you for sharing this. I had that record many years ago when I was still YOUNG. I am now 68. I don't know what ever happened to the album. I have been unable to even purchase it on CD. Is it possible for you to upload more songs from the album. I was in high school when I purchased this through a record club. It saddens me to think what passes for music today and what our young people are missing. Again, many, many thanks.
