F. Henri Klickmann (1885 - 1966) was a well-known composer, musician and arranger. He published over a hundred songs from the beginning of the twentieth century up until the 1940s. His ragtime songs were popularly received and Sweet Hawaiian Moonlight was one of his biggest hits when it first came out in 1918, he later expanded on this to produce I've Got the Sweet Hawaiian Moonlight Blues.

The cover illustration by an unknown artist shows a Hawaiian scene, palm trees framing the idyllic scene of gentle mountains in the distance, with a white yacht sailing across the water in front, the full moon peaking above the clouds. The cover illustration is mostly in black, with some peach, lilac shades given to the light of the moon reflecting on the water.
