I discovered Iz a year ago. Without realizing who I was listening to, I had heard his music before. My son also suffers from obesity which no one understands and everyone ridicules with out understanding the causes. So Iz is my hero because he can be a role model and a beacon for people like my son who are made to feel "less than" by people who cruel and unfeeling. He will always live on.
Hi Dawn. My name is Dawn too. I've never had that problem. But I have had other problems with many struggle's and been judged by people who had NO COMPASSION, JUST JUDGING ME FOR thing's I could not control. But I know that as long as the Lord 🙏 love's me I will live pain free and home at LAST 🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️
I first discovered bruddah IZ when I for landed on kaneohe bay oahu. I was stationed there while I was in the marine corps. I loved it instantly. Once I left I took him home with me to the east coast of Massachusetts where I still live. My dream is to move back to oahu where I left my soul. It's where I really belong. IZ helped me to realize that. Mahalo big bruddah! \m/
First time I heard your music was in 2003 when I first discovered the ukulele and bought me one , but I was sad you were gone but you left us with your beautiful gift all your music and your Aloha , my kids know about you and so are my grandkids , and will teach them to play ukulele with your beautiful songs , GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER IZ 🙏🙏
I spent yesterday (June 26th) driving around with the top down listening to IZ's music. I kept looking up and smiling with a tear in my eye. Mahalo(nui loa) Israel Kamakawiwo`ole !!!
Thank you for your beautiful music IZ. Your music will live in the hearts of all who loved you and those who never knew you. Your music makes me smile and weep at the same time.
I just saw Israel for the 1st time on here, what a voice, he sings like an angel, just beautiful, I wish I would of heard of him when he was alive, beautiful, beautiful man, with the most awesome voice I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!
Lived in Makaha as a small kid in the 70s and the Sons use to sing in the bar my older sister worked at. I remember running around in the bar and watching them sing. Good memories. The bar was on the second floor and they had to reinforce the floor for the guys. Big guys big talent. Big aloha.
What a great voice and a God given talent to reach people in thair hearts.I just discovered him on TH-cam and what a joy, I get to at least get to hear what he left for us!
Iz was a special human being who will live in the hearts of many. His voice was heaven sent! Lucky the people who met and knew him. One day we will all enter th circle of life and rejoice in his music once again
I live in Australia and I am only discovering this man now may he Rest In Peace, I regret not knowing this mans music when I was younger. Thank you for sharing
The guy said towards the end of this video that hearing IZ music live is where you felt his love. I can feel his love in his music and I’ve never met that man. He would had been five years older then me. It will reach future generations as long as there is recording of him. God bless you IZ I love you and your beautiful words of compassion and love.
Iz is a wonder man and great great singer. Over the rainbow makes me cry. He will be missed but his music will last for ever in our hearts. God got a great angel.
I've known IZ's music since 2001, and it had a huge part in my falling in love with Hawai'i and with the 'Olelo Hawai'i. And still, I am drawn to tears when I watch this.
What an Amazing Man!!!! I just came across his videos, and I was So Enthralled with his voice!!! I'm just So Sorry he is no longer on this earth!! But, the heaven's gained a Beautiful man with the voice of an Angel!!! Rest In Peace!!! 🙏❤️
It has been 18 years .. OMG .. I only knew about his story only now .. My gosh where was I. Well, the reason is I just started playing Ukelele and I want to learn the song .. Somehwere Over The Rainbow - so I got curious hearing his version ....Oh my what a man! Then I checked on all the videos and here I am soaked in tears. Why o why ... he passed away too soon. Yes, his memory lives and as for me ... I just met him. One great super hero! .. I am so inspired now to play the Uke. ... Thank you Iz.
Yes Iz did battle obesity, but I'm sure people understand his health was. Because of genitics, , most of his immediate family had the same problem. No fault of their own. But one thing for sure is his voice was as big as the entire universe. I love him because of his music and ha e me er met him. But I feel that I have been knowing him all my life. He brought so much joy to do many. Iz , I wish you have not left us. But I hope to see you in the new system that God promises. Luv you my h Iz.
You have now truly moved on to paradise, thank you so much for sharing with us the beauty of your music,lots of love your fans in eire,you have touched hearts all over the world
I always loved the song," Over The Rainbow" as a child I would sing this song. I visited the island many years before I heard of Iz. It wasn't until about 3 years ago I heard him sing for the first time. It wasn't just his Angelic voice which touched my heart and soul. It was his kind spirit and his love for his people.
"The Almighty Has Long Forgiven Him His Shortcomings In His Short Live!" ... "His Good Deeds Outweigh Everything Else!" ... Never Forgotten ... Always Loved ... RIP ...

Mary and I were at a KVMR concert in Nevada City listening to Cyril Patanui (spelling) when Cyril came out after break and said that IZ had just died . A pall came over the audience that seemed to last forever--until tears and sobbing 😭 was all you could hear. I don’t know who started singing Aloha oi’ but it was very cathartic--I’m 82 now and Mary is on the other side but l still tear up for his beautiful soul . I know she’s able to listen to him on Waikiki beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian.
I visited Hawaii in 2018 it was one of the most wonderful experiences i will remember while dinning i requested for over the rainbow song by israel tearful
