This is a place to celebrate a man with a beautiful voice that has pass on to Paradise not a place for negative comments.Rest In Paradise Israel...
I worked at Queens Hospital and saw Iz alot. He was a wonderful, gentle soul. He was blessed with a beautiful voice and we are the poorer for him having left us.
So lucky

Marlene,I see your love in your photos and memories of Iz.I just lost my Husband of 32 yrs. and I find comfort in his version of somewhere over the rainbow.I wasnt aware of his music until recently and I would like to keep it as a song to my husband.We are only here for a short while and I will take that song with me on my journey through life,God be with you.
💜💜
Its so nice to hear a woman speak so kindly of her husband.R.I.P.
A big man with a beautiful voice, he just oozes love, I wanted to cuddle him. A sad loss his family, Hawaii and the world. RIP.
He was a beautiful man, inside and out, with a heart bigger than the world. Blessings to his wife and family. I'm grateful to him that he shared his gift with the world....
Though he has passed on, his music will be with us forever.
I am sorry for Your loss. Israel's beautiful voice brings tears to my eyes every time. I live in Nevada all my life but my Father was born and raised in Hawaii just like His Father but I have not bonded with my culture as much as I wanted to in my life but one day I was listening to Israel and my 14 year old Son heard it and wanted a ukalele so I bought Him one and a year later He can play and sing many of Israel's songs.For that I thank You and Iz.Rest in Paradise...
Unconditional Love is so rare between two people. Congratulations for having lived a beautiful life with your Husband may you become one again in heaven.
What a beautiful thing to say
Bob Jimenez You r certainly right.. #Smiles
I had that unconditional love and my soulmate. He was called home to Heaven, one year and six months ago. I grieve for and miss him, everyday of my life. This hurts like hell!!!
Classy Lady she is. She's not one of those ladies that would judge him physically.
+OIAI'O TAVAKE How many men are actually willing to do that?
+Tina The entire pansexual male population

When you love someone, you don't judge them physically. But you would want to have them in your life for as long as possible, and I just wonder why encouraging IZ into losing weight was ever done. I am selfish because his miraculous talents are gone with him. Everyone loved him. He taught a great lesson on how to be better people by loving one another. Did he have a physical reason for the extreme weight? Did doctors determine what it was and try to help him? I wish, again selfishly, that something could have been done.
@@kayebarnett517
I am an RN, I believe that the extreme weight gain in the South Pacific population is caused by either a bacteria, or even the lack of one in the gut, or perhaps a virus.
Although food can obviously increase weight like in American population, the type of extreme weight IZ had is not because of immense food intake.
My humble opinion...
Cheers.

He has done that with millions.His voice, his aura heals.He went to use his power for the good of the heavens.I know this.I KNOW this in my soul.We were lucky to have him for as long as we did.He was a gift to us.
Nothing but love for this wonderful man and blessings of peace for his family.
I loved this, I lost my husband 2 years ago at only 43 yo. You can see the impact that Iz' life had on her life, while he was alive, and now that he is gone. You never get over it, but you do move forward.
His voice tranacends time... it was a once in a lifetime voice. May God protect and guide his wife and daughter.
So true!!! He died Way too soon. I think God just couldn't wait any longer to have I z in Heaven to lead His choir. I have read everything I could find about I z & his family & it sounds like his life was happy & that he & Marlene really loved each other. That makes me happy! I read that Marlene went thru depression for a year after he passed. I'm sorry she had to go thru all that she had to but glad she loved him so much!
I'm part Hawaiian and love the music and my heritage we need more like him :D
He has touched my heart is ways NO one has been able to. And if a person You have never met can help turn your life around it was worth one song. School of hard knocks teaches a lot of hate and anger towards people. But I turned it all loose when I first heard his music a few years ago. It has taken time but I am up to learning about my ancestors and my indian heritage and feel blessed to be able to release the horrible things in my life. Thank you IZ.
Brudda IZ You''ll ALWAYS be ALIVE in our house! When I think of your passing it saddens me but when I listen to your voice sing everything is HAPPY again. I love you IZ and I will always see a happy little boy in your face -
p.s. to all the negative posters here...I pray one day you too will be loved and happy
Blessings to you Marlene!
It's nice to see the lady that love IZ and the lady that he gave his love to. It's like he is still here with us. Thanks for sharing.
God bless you Marlene, and please know that Iz, in his way, taught me the beauty and joy of this life, He gave me the peace I so desperatly needed. He touches my life every day...
What a beautiful life. Classy lady
True loves knows no boundaries ❤️
That is such a beautiful thought, truth, tribute to Bradda Iz❤🎉😅😊 Malamalama 🙏🙏🙏🌬🌬🌬💝💘💖😊😇🥰
well, IZ should be somewhere over the rainbow right now,
R.I.P.
Chow Ken I know he is R.I.P. IZ
Losing my family thru cancer; my sister; My Mom Old Age;Is helped me thru it with God's Amazing Grace!
At my youngest sons wedding Aug 20,2017 at Fairy Lake in the mountains of Montana....just 6 of us..played IZs somewhere over the rainbow♡the only son we played..it blessed there union♡
We so miss them all, Marlene Kamakawiwo'ole thank you for your story it helps us mend our own hearts with the loss of IZ and Skippy and the rest of his family
Marlene, you are one very blessed lady. Please keep us posted how you, and your daughter are doing?
There are MANY of us, Kanaka and KanakaMaoliAllies, who loved Iz too. We love you and your daughter. You appear to reflect much of what Iz talked and sang about.
Soon my husband and I will return to Hawaii, the only place we truly felt at Home. Bless you.
what a sweet lady and her hubby was awesome,,the song over the rainbow makes me cry,every time I hear it,childhood thoughts of my family.
Me too can't believe I've only.just come across him so happy.though downloaded his album really chills me our listening to his lovely amazing voice
You're a beautiful couple with a lovely daughter ❤ may IZ rest in peace. He has a beautiful voice , I find myself always watching his videos 🌺
She is so beautiful! :)
Uma mulher de sorte teve um amado onde nem toda mulher conseguiu ter ,Iz um anjo na terra, que Deus abençoe e lhe dê aceitação.
my heart goes out to Marlene. We all lost IZ in this world physically, but he will always be with us in our hearts and in our ears.
I just think it's so beautiful how she was able too look past Iz's physical appearance and fall in love with his beautiful soul
If she had really loved him she would have fought for him to eat healthy and lose weight,allowing him to die that way is not love.my husband was almost 400 lbs I fought with him for 20 years and refused to let him die.they wanted to cut his legs off but we fought that too today he is about 220 and has his legs and is alive.
He didn't die because he ate a lot or from gluttony as some of you are suggesting. He died because of a genetic disorder. He had low thyroid and a bad metabolism. His body couldn't metabolize the food that he ate properly. I believe there was a guy like this in mexico too that weighed like 700 pounds or something.
All love for bruddah Iz, i am wearing the fish hook necklace in his memory and for hawaiian culture. hey, bruddah Iz, I am Hawaiian at heart! Aloha means love!
WE need more people like Israel.His beauty,his truth. He told us not to be sad when he passed.He is with the ancestors.
GOD bless you Marlene, HE did and HE will all our love forever.
I love how Iz's wife spoke so lovingly about him. I came across his music just a couple of years ago. I fell in love with him and his music.
Very nice tribute to your husband. Iz was a wonderful musician and a kind-hearted man - something that seems to be lacking nowadays.
You are a beautiful woman behind the beautiful man. He is and always will be my No. 1 favorite artist. I never got to meet him or hear him in person. I truly believe that when Heaven opens up for me, I know it will be Izzy's music marching me in through those pearly gates. (God willing, of course)
he sang the most beautiful music ive ever heard, thankyou Iz for making my life richer. God bless you
IZ was a wonderful man who shared with all of us his gift.
He shared with us his hopes dreams and fears which are common to most people.
He stood up no matter what and that makes him Close to God by the end of his life in my eyes.
I love his smile as much as I love his music........I am going to buy every piece of music he has ever made if I can find it, I want my life filled with his songs. His soul and his heart shine through every song he has ever sang. What a wonderful soul. I am so sorry for those of you who can't see past a person's "shell" so that you can find the goodness within.
What a beautiful voice and beautiful person,, I have heard His version of Over the Rainbow, but never knew who did it, and just found this,,RIP, Israel!
WHAT A WONDERFUL, LOVELY WOMAN,!! HER HEART AND WHAT SHE SAID SPEAKS VOLUMES!! THANK U FOR SHARING!!

When IZ died he left a whole in the world that no one can ever fill. He was a great man, and a great musician. I will miss the beautiful songs, that bring tears to my eyes. I hope to see you in Heaven Brudda IZ! Blessings to you Marlene, to have lost such a love, I can't even imagine. Thanks for the music, the tears, and I hope you have a lovely life. Aloha, Mahalo, Roseonwheels
I have only now come across this beautiful man and his music. I am now obsessed.
I cannot believe how amazing he is/was. All I can see is an amazing talent. Close your eyes and listen.
He exuded love.
@ljbeavers I lost the love of my life too for similar reasons. Then I found someone who did not care about size, and he died at the age of 36, a few years after the world lost Israel. I eventually got medical help for my size but still am large, I lost my best friend to the same issues that took Israel from us. I do not understand these terrible people who look at a person's physical self and cannot see anything else, cannot see the beauty of the soul. I pity them.
You don't need shallow friends or conditional loves. It is a blessing to be away from them.
r.i.p Iz u had a wonderful life with an awesome guy, God put him in our lives for a purpose and most definitely his life shall impact others life. my brother Tra-Vel Lowe passed 10-17-16 due to heart failure. he was a big man like Iz but so humble that u didn't have to know him to love him, he was just a he'll of a big man like Iz.. it's not a day that goes by I don't miss my big brother.... thanks for ur story because it's helping me deal with my loss...
God bless all of u wonderful people. ..
marlene thanks so much for your love.
he was/is a beautiful man. a soul that shines thru his smile and a heart that shines thru his song. I wish he wasn't gone.
The world is a better place thanks to the simple love that the man gave to us all through his music & thoughts & words.
RIP you beautiful soul. Your task on this earth was done beyond all expectations.
Beautifully said. I know u miss him dearly ❤ xxxxoooo prayers
That man was LOVE personified...
I never met him but his music moves me to the core.
Thank You Israel
💞❤💙💚💛💜💞

Unconditional love is a lesson we all should learn. IZ was a beautiful soul and gave so much of himself into his music. You can just hear peace and love in his voice.
Marlene, you were blessed with a great great person..mahalo for being you. aloha
What a beautiful voice this man had. I wish I could have known him. You are a woman above many, who looked beyound his weight and saw his angelic soul. I was blessed by watching his vidios I just discovered today thanks to a little sweet American Idol who is doing one of his songs tonight.."Over the rainbow"...Go Jason and bring others to this site to meet this man and his lovely voice.
U r so lucky to have been married to him:) he was and is amazing
My heart goes out to you Marlene and your daughter..........you had a wonderful husband taken too soon..................blessings be,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,watch for him in the rainbows.........
i am from india ,i did not know about him till last year when i heard this song ,over the rainbow ,ever since then i have fallen i love with his voice and music ,god bless a great soul like him
I really loved your husband the first time I heard Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I listen to it almost every day. He seems to of been a wonderful man. And now that I've seen this video of you, I feel so good. I am so glad he was with you! You seem to be a great Lady yourself. Unconditional Love is a forever, good times - Bad times love, it is a beautiful Love. And, I'm sure he lives on thru you and his daughter and people all over the world. I am truely sorry for you and your daughters loss and everyone's loss with the passing of Israel.
Me gustaría escucharla en idioma español.. Gracias
maholo nui Marlene for sharing mele kalikimaka pease be with you,he was a great man sadly missed
You are a wonderful lady, and your daughter is so much like her dad, she is very beautiful I wish you both well for the future bless you all x debbie
So much beauty, and love I feel listening to these songs, I was trying to calm my grandson when I came across IZ's Version of somewhere over the rainbow, and realized it was a song I had been hunting for from the movie 50 first dates w/ Adam Sandler. I have stepped into a whole new world. The beauty within IZ comes out through the music. Today i have been truly blessed. RIP IZ, and Blessings to your family always. Can feel the love through the music. Thank you!
People are now lucky enough, and BLESSED to be re-discovering IZ and his family. Tue to the Over The Rainbow song that Tim Russert had on his I-Pod, it has now reopened a window to IZ, for some who have not had the chance to meet him before. What a special, beautiful man. I can't WAIT to catch his show in Heaven ~ Hope to see us all there someday ! He is sooooo cool !!!!!
he has left a footprint of love for us all to see & respect. Those who are too blind to see, I can only hope you have a re-awakening, for sure you will feel better about yourself and those who share your lives.
nao sei como se diz em Ingles , mas posso dizer que as musicas desse rapaz trazem uma paz tão refortante que qualquer pessoa que há escute sente a paz que a dentro de si
yo no hablo portugues pero te pude entender si es cierto escuchar esta cancion trae una gran calma a el alma
Very well said Rosina. These are very sad people indeed. IZ left behind a great legacy when he gave us his music which will carry on forever in the hearts of many including mine :(
Of course Iz would want us to forgive ignorance.he saw beyond the rainbow and the result was the paradise reflected in his music.I'm honored to still be able to hear his voice .Once long ago Iz would have been a King on his island home and people would come to pay homage to his wise and generous spirit.He made us human.We need less "successful" people and more poets,healers,and lovers.Iz never forgot the people who needed him the most.
This brudda was taken from us way to soon. he will always be loved and be remembered. there isnt a day i dont listen to him. Love u IZ
I just found IZ's song , rendition , of ' Somewhere over the Rainbow ' yesterday, after about 15 seconds into the song, I felt an overwhelming sadness, I could not believe a song could be so heavenly perfect, a voice , so exquisite... I am so happy to have found this exceptional singer's songs but deeply grieved that he is gone but he certainly let's us know how real heaven is , in his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and I am content to know he was loved and had a family who loved him, and he too loved so many. I hope those who love him, keep his memory alive forever , he deserves this. Wow, what a beautiful singing voice God blessed him with.. just absolutely the best!
heavens luv a beaUTIFUL SOUL! HOPE I LEARN TO TEACH MOST THAT TOUCH ME AS WELL!!
How anyone could say anything ugly about this man is beyond me, I didnt know him when he was alive, but I have never seen a person who radiates light the way this man did. He was and still is so clearly a beautiful soul and the world has suffered a great loss from him not being in it any longer.
mahalo bruddah, may you rest in peace, I know you are smiling down at us...we miss you
That was the most beautiful thing I have every heard. Sounds like he was an amazing person...who cares what he looked like it IZ the heart and compassion of the inside that's important and counts the most.
Beautiful...true love, beautiful words of wisdom Marlene. Reason and purpose! Yes!
Bruddah IZ an angel in heaven now. xxxx
what a wonderful man god bless you and your family
Just thinking it's been 14 years on since we lost him...but just as quenther32 has just said, someday his grandkids will come to love Iz...so we really haven't lost him at all...
Thank you for making this video. I hope everyone gets the message. Iz was a pure soul. He was here but his heart was built for heaven.I believe we are here for a reason, He was a wonderful person and I have learned a lot just from listening to his music.Some of which was the music my mother sang when I was a child. But through the years I was learning, I did not learn from the music my mother built her heart around. I learned it from him, Thank you so much, He was a true teacher. Be blessed.
the ones that are the hardest to love are the ones who need it the most.
Bless you... He deserved to be loved like you did... still breaks my heart...
Soul mates is a rare thing
I found my soulmate and we were together for fourteen years, until God called him HOME, last February 2017. This is a hurt that, I'll never get over. I LOVE AND MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!!
LadyStClaire R. ;(
I feel bad for him:(
Hope lots of people like his awesome songs!!
I left the islands nearly 20 years ago and not a day goes by that I do not miss it. Listening to IZ back then really gave me a connection to the island culture even though I was haole. Hearing of IZ's death brought the sadness of the event but at the same time, it brought a bit of the hawaiian spirit back into me as I relisten to all the beautiful music that he made. RIP
I really love this song
His love and his peoples love for him are very clear. Thanks IZ for beautiful music and scenery.
I dont understand so much!!!But Israel is the best voice and man!!!Im Argentina!!!R.I.P ISRAEL 😇❤🙏
R.I.P he had such a beautiful voice I only wish i had got a chance to see him sing live. but such is life i found out about him to late what a great voice :(
Me emociono muito quando ouço suas canções.Da impressão que ele partiu antes da hora.
I know big bruddah IZ is looking down smiling. The big kahuna. The spirit of Hawaii. Mahalo for all the love ad healing you bring to all the lives you have touched and continue to touch in this world. Aloha bruh! \m/
Much love to Iz. A legend lost but never to be forgotten. Mahalo bra.
Услышав недавно случайно песню Брудды Иза "Где-то за радугой", я заинтересовался творчеством этого человека и его судьбой. Я был потрясен. Он вывернул мне душу и открыл в ней такие сентиментальные струны, которые я даже не подозревал в себе. У меня сын родился через 6 лет после ухода в мир душ Израеля Камакавивооле и тоже как и IZ страдал ожирением - к 21 году весил 172кг при росте 188см. Сейчас, хвала Богу он сбросил вес, но проблемы семьи IZа мне знакомы. Желаю его родным, близким и ценителям его творчества мира и благополучия, а Израелю пребывать в Раю купаясь в божьей любви!
Beautifully said ❤🌷
what a wonderfull gift he gave to you and the world.
I love it you were a blessing to him vice versa
what a wonderful world u let us see Iz
Thank you for sharing a wonderful love story.
You're very fortunate to found such love...
I haven't heard much of this guy's music, but I can definitely see the talent and respect this guy has accumulated in his life. If I ever have a career in music, I hope to be like this man. His music isn't crap, and people seem to respect him, so he seems to be something of a role-model. He's even honored by the state government! I don't need that kind of honor, but if I can be known as this guy is, that would be almost dream-like and wonderful.
Also, oldschoolchicas, show the guy some respect.
Such a loss
Amazing Talent
A Man Touched by God
He Cared for Everyone
RIP
IZ
What a beautiful story. So happy he got to share his beautiful music with us all.
I love you music, and the voice is magical...
So glad he found his way!
