Bell Record Co., Ltd.

William Bell Fredlund and Alice Pualeialoha Davis Fredlund created Bell Records in 1944, using Bill’s middle name of “Bell”. The Fredlunds built a recording studio in a former military warehouse across the Ala Wai Canal from Waikiki. The brilliant Young O. Kang became their recording engineer, and Alice’s brother, Willie, served as talent scout. Between 1944 and 1950, Bell created an enormous catalog of Hawaii’s entertainers, many of whom were working in Waikiki. Beginning to record in 1944, Bell Records, owned by Bill Fredlund, issued the first solo recordings of Alfred Apaka, Andy Cummings, and Gabby Pahinui.
