    How the heck did anybody listening to this marvelous clip by this beloved man, end up writing hateful comments? I think most of us go away from this feeling happy and thanking God for this treasure. Some folks must thrive on being negative. :(

    Sad to lose such a talent at such a young age. His voice brought more joy to others in his short life than most do in a life time !

      or that most could do in several lifetimes.
      IZ can't hide his heart. When you watch him sing you can see the incredible joy on his face.
      What a wonderful soul.

    You don't have to be Hawaiian to appreciate great beauty and soul. This man had a soul as big and beautiful as he was. Anyone who hates him just shows their immaturity and lack of taste for music, not to mention a touch of jealousy that they can't sing like him. God blessed him greatly. Pray for me Iz!

    Iz music will live on, his voice is magical and a beautiful reflection of Hawaii and the people who call it home. When tourist here me play his music, they always ask who it is, he appeals to everyone. He had a fun bigger than life personality which also shows through his music. We all belong to one race, to insult a race is to insult yourself.
    Peoples negative opinions have no place on these videos, music is the worlds language.
