Info: The lyrics for Hawaiian Lullaby were composed in the 1970s by a father, Hector Venegas, coping with the anguish of witnessing his daughter suffer and work to recover from bacterial meningitis. 
Venegas found comfort in writing the words while his daughter, Krista, recovered from a long bout of meningitis. At the time, Venegas handled bookings for Moon, who asked if he could put music to the words. Venegas agreed, but didn't hear the song until after Peter Moon's band at the time, The Sunday Manoa, had recorded it at Capitol Records, with Robert Cazimero singing lead.

Peter Moon was born in Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu to parents of Korean and Chinese descent Wook Moon and Shay-Yung Moon (née Zen). He graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1962 and from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1968. From the late 1950s through the 1960s, he gained musical inspiration, insight, and knowledge; playing as a Maile Serenader with Gabby "Pops" Pahinui in the 1960s. Later, in the 1970s, he also served as Gabby's manager. Soon after, Moon became a founding member of The Sunday Manoa, along with Palani Vaughn, Albert "Baby" Kalima Jr., and Cyril Pahinui (one of Gabby's sons). After Vaughan and Cyril left the group, Moon released another album (Hawaiian Time) with Kalima and Cyril's older brother, "Bla" Pahinui. Kalima and Pahinui moved on and Moon remained the only member and recruited Robert and Roland Cazimero who were a few years younger. In 1971, their first album, Guava Jam was released and became seen as the spark of the Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance. Two more albums were released, but personal conflicts within the group led to their eventual breakup

After the breakup of The Sunday Manoa, the Cazimeros continued on as the Brothers Cazimero. Moon continued to be a force on the music scene co-founding Kanikapila, a two-day music festival at the University of Hawaii that ran for 25 years. Moon, however, did not return to regular performing until 1979, when his new group, The Peter Moon Band, released Tropical Storm, which garnered four Na Hoku Hanohano Awards. In 1983, Moon released Cane Fire, which earned six Na Hoku Hanohano awards; Moon earning an unprecedented seventh with a Sunday Manoa anthology album. The band was extremely popular, with an unmatched stylistic range that ran from Hawaiian to reggae to samba, jazz, and swing. Throughout the 1980s, The Peter Moon Band remained a staple of the Hawaiian music scene winning a third Na Hoku Hanohano award for album of the year with Black Orchid in 1988. The "PMB" also met great success from tours in Japan. During those years there were many changes in the band's membership. Listed in no particular order the complete of the musicians who worked with Moon as members of the group are Bobby Hall, Steven Hall, Martin Pahinui, Cyril Pahinui, Randy Lorenzo, Merv Ching, Milt Holland, Mark Yim, Dwight Kanae, Ocean Kaowili, David Choy, and Steve Wofford.
