Prince Tui Teka - Before the next teardrop falls

Aww would you believe I was a kid in the 70s he stayed next door on Fisher cres in East Tamaki loved it could hear him.sing at the ET or flying jug back in the day. The best times heaps of adults having parties loved the sounz. Im 65 now miss the ole days💯😊😊

Doesn't matter if you're Pakeha or Maori, you can't help but love Prince Tui Teka and everything he was. (Pakeha here, by the way.)

2024 I still love listening to you ❤

A bloody legend. Just loved him. A real entertainer. Simply the best.⚘❤🙏

Still listening to this legend in 2023 and he still brings joy. Even though I hear the same old jokes year on year, it still makes me chuckle. He never made fun of anyone - only of himself. And THAT is the key to true comedy!

R.I.P.big fella=you were a big part of all our home partys as a child,an era long ago but rembered with a tear and a smile.xx

i remember my dad doing this song at the kaitaia country music festival in 1985 at the community center.. best memories ever..

Im 54 now and i still love this music. I played in a band with Dave many years ago so miss him

his distinctive voice know it anywhere didnt appreciate his entertainment value until i got older love him thank you sir prince tui teka

Now, that’s a man born to entertain. All hail the Prince!

The pakeha's face when he's about to start the song is priceless! :')

Awesome video. Reminds me of my Mum and Dad. They would tell stories, when Prince Tui Teka would play at the Ellerslie Oaks Pub, in Auckland. Where my Parents both worked. His Charisma, Jokes, just Tui Tekas, Persona. Just a Lovely man, My Mum would say. A kind man, with a Big Heart. He touched alot of True Kiwi New Zealanders, with his Music, and His Lovely voice.

He knew how to do the pubs... back in the day.. brilliantly. I am from Lower Hutt, 1954, but he is in a place I never really new existed. I have looked at this video, many times. Look at those in the background. Utterly astonishing. Not just the crate of Lion Brown, but the study of typical NZ barn drinking. Those were the days.

I’m 35 and I love his song and he died in 1985 and his wife Missy Teka was the best Guitarist in the world

Samoan here! My fam use to Jam Prince Tui Teka at the oldies drink up all the time❤️ The memories 😢

WOW! I'm from Hawai'i and never heard of this uncle before, but its SO CRAZY how much he looks, sounds, & acts like uncle willie K.

ADDED NOVEMBER 30TH THURSDAY 2023 i am listening. UNFORGETTABLE legend of a man. LOVE ALL HIS SONGS and PEARLY THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR MUSICAL CLIPS WITH US SOPH

I ❤ his songs :) from Brazil ❤
