This did not go unnoticed by Don Ho: During a live recording of Tiny Bubbles, he said, “eat your heart out, Lawrence,” surely sparking some jealousy from the musician who passed on a hit song.
After the song had achieved success, even Welk began to play the tune on his television program. Within two years of its release, no fewer that 34 artists had produced cover versions, without signs of the song losing popularity. It peaked at #14 on the Easy Listening chart and quickly became a widely covered song. Pober originally intended the song to be sung by the king of champagne music, Lawrence Welk, but upon Welk’s refusal, Pober offered the song to the up and coming artist of the time, Don Ho.
“Tiny Bubbles” was written by Leon Pober in 1966. Try out some of the ideas for ways to use and share this light-hearted tune with others.
