    I wouldn't characterize the ending as Sad at all. - - To the contrary, that was an amazing celebration and tribute to a man's life who obviously had a profound impact on those around him. - - May we all be so blessed to have a send off like that.

    I'm surprised you didn't recognize Brudda Iz' version of "Over the Rainbow." It has been used many times in TV and movies. Iz was a beloved institution in Hawaii. From WikiPedia -- "On July 10, 1997, the Hawaiian flag flew at half-staff for Kamakawiwoʻole's funeral. His koa wood casket lay at the state capitol building in Honolulu, making him the third person (and the only non-government official) to be so honored. Approximately 10,000 people attended his funeral. Thousands of fans gathered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12, 1997."

    Sweet reaction Britt. Iz was a wonderful Christian man from the island. This song is his version of the Judy Garland song. He also did his version of it's a "It's a Wonderful Life" and also infused the 2 songs together too sometimes when he sang them. God blessed him and his family and his songs. He was well loved on the island and around the world and still is. It was a sad but happy celebration when they did his ashes just as he asked. God bless you too and your family. 🙏❤

She performs this song and it is by far my favorite version.....Wait til you hear her voice! Peace!

    It's "sort of" the same song. Judy Garland sang Over the Rainbow in the Wizard of Oz in 1939. In the 1950s Louis Armstrong revived it combining it with the song What A Wonderful World. "IZ" then revived that combined song adding a Hawaiian flavor. It was used in several movies and TV shows before he passed away. This video is a tribute to him and to him singing this song, which became his signature sound

    My dad is a “native Hawaiian.” He is Hawaiian/Chinese, but he was born and raised in Hawaii. We grew up on this music. Even though he joined the military and moved to the mainland before I was born, he tried really hard to teach us his songs and culture. ❤
    Unfortunately, by the time he retired from the military, he had seven kids. They didn’t want to relocate that many people back to Hawaii, so we stayed here on the mainland.

    My family and I were blessed to live in Hawaii for three years, and Brudda IZ passed away during the time we lived there. Even though we were "haoles," (white people, and to many Hawaiians, the same as "dumb haoles") we found the majority of Hawaiians to be very friendly and hospitable. However, we wouldn't allow our very white, very blonde daughter to attend public school as a 7th grader as it was almost assured she'd be physically assaulted on a regular basis, so home-schooled her for her own safety. Hawaii is a paradise, and everyone should have visiting Hawaii on their "bucket" list. Hawaiian culture is amazing. I'll never forget a church service I attended where a native Hawaiian said the true meaning of Aloha is to give, and to give, until you have nothing left, and then to give some more. It's shameful what we (the USA) did as a nation to the Kingdom of Hawaii, very much in the same vein as what was done to the native Americans and native Alaskans. I believe we as a country have worked hard to make amends, and we should continue to do so. Sorry for the "lecture," but just a part of my education after living in Hawaii.

It is a bit more of a children's show but since its such a classic you need to watch it at least once. Great review. I was waiting for you to realize he was singing his own tribute song. He was loved by so many! One of Hawaii's many treasures and whenever I go to Hawaii his song is always playing at least a few times in random places.

    1) You absolutely must watch The Wizard of Oz sometime, it is a classic; 2) Yes, millions of us watched it every year, back in the pre-VCR days when the network would show it every year (same for Sound of Music); 3) its a long-ish movie and lots of us fell asleep (or were sent to bed) before it ended, more than once; 4) Judy Garland was a phenomenal singer, and her original rendition of Over the Rainbow is and always will be the benchmark against which all others will be measured; 5) this renditions is very, very different, and yet it is also heartbreakingly beautiful - so much so that it really has earned a place as one of the two definitive renditions, and least in my mind.

    Brudda IZ was a beautiful person and personified the best of the Hawaiian people and culture.
    During the ceremony of giving his ashes to the sea the truckers on Oahu sounded their horns and it sounded like the island itself was mourning.
    I love everything he did from his start with the Makaha Sons of Niʻihau to his last songs but two of my favorites are his version of "Take Me Home Country Roads" and his heart rending rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

    This song makes me homesick. I’m a Lahaina girl, and have missed it every day since we moved.
    I watched Lahaina burn the last 2 days. I have friends missing, people lost their pets.

    I recall this was played in the background during the ER tv show episode in which the Dr. Mark Green character passes away while at a tropical location w/ his wife. The only scene sadder than that was when the ER staff learned of his passing when a letter from his wife was read aloud to the group. Even though I knew it was all fictional, I found it difficult not to be emotionally affected.
    But I digress..... es tut mir leid.

    This is a beautiful and unforgettable version. Iz puts his own unmistakeable spin on this classic song. My personal favourite version is an incredibly moving acoustic interpretation by the late (and great) Eva Cassidy. It's something that is definately worth a listen to even if you choose not to react to it. I've seen a lot of reactions to Eva singing 'Over the Rainbow' and everyone was moved by it. :) th-cam.com/video/2rd8VktT8xY/w-d-xo.html

      For me as well 3 versions of Over the Rainbow that stand far and above all others: the original, of course, by Judy Garland; this beautiful version by the world ambassador IZ; lastly, my favorite of all, the emotional version by Eva Cassidy who died much too young, at the age of 34 years, of melanoma cancer which spread. She passed about 10 months after recording her now famous version. I encourage all reading this to search her version and give it a listen. Google her personal story as well as it is deserving of a movie. Mark
