==Early years==
Sai is from Kaimuki, Hawaii and a product of the Kamehameha school system.〔http://www.pbshawaii.org/ourproductions/longstory_guests/sai.htm〕 She released her first record in 1959. Sai was taught the basics of singing and mentored by her uncle Andy Cummings, considered another legend of Hawaiian singing and songwriting.〔 Cummings taught his niece the love song "Kainoa" written by his friend Jimmy Taka when he found out he was dying of cancer. The song was for his wife. Cummings put the song down on paper and later taught it to his then-teenage niece, Marlene Sai. "Kainoa" went on to become Sai's first hit and title for her debut album.〔http://www.honolulumagazine.com/Honolulu-Magazine/June-2004/Hawaiai-Music-Pupu-Platter〕 Sai was discovered by Hawaiian entertainer Don Ho before he was famous while managing his mother's restaurant lounge Honey's in Kaneohe on the island of Oahu.〔
