    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/

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
