I just can't get enough of his soothing voice or of his life. Very endearing and heart breaking. How I would love to see a true to life movie about Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's life, starting with his parents, siblings, his music and his wife and child. Such a special person. May God bless his family and one day, I hope to meet him in Heaven too.
People are still discovering him all these years later. Just goes to show that he had a wonderful spirit, and his music is timeless. He really was a national treasure.
Just discovered him 2 days ago and as a music artist bruddha IZ is so inspiring , probably one of a blessed voice on earth , rest in peace you will always be miss thanks for your great music and loving personality
A true Polynesian. I never met him but I love this man. Love his music. I love the peaceful sound of his lyrics. The world needs more. Im sad he's gone.
I have a son that is due this coming July. We went and got a 3D ultrasound and the song "somewhere over the rainbow" was on the dvd that they gave us. I feel in love with the way he sang the song so I decided to look him up today. I am sad to find out that IZ has passed away. Almost 14 years after his death he is still getting new fans.
So schade, daß er so früh gehen musste.😭 Er hat uns so viele wunderschöne Lieder zurück gelassen, an denen wir uns erfreuen🤗. Er hatte eine so schöne, gefühlvolle Stimme. Mein Lieblingssänger auf ewig.👍 Gott habe ihn seelig.
There been many people with great music and voices but "IZ" is for me the greatest... His talent surpass the many of our days. He is alive in heart and spirit....
I don't care about his looks or why he looks the way he looks. This man was truly loved and had a incredible moving voice. He sang from his heart. Something you rarely hear anymore. It really is sad and a perfect example how people have lost their humanity as I skim over some of these comments. I hope you guys will leave the impact on the world such as this man has.
@@glendaharris4776 He just did judge but with a hateful heart. It is not our business when others judge. Just ignore and not let them penetrate the purity of our spirit.
How anyone could say something negative, about someone who bought so much happiness to total strangers lives ,is beyond me! I, for one, am grateful!! Thanks for your music ,and your sacrifice Israel.
Iz had a thyroid disease and heart problems from a very early age that made him gain weight, which in turn brought on diabetes. Look past the outside and see what was within him. He was pure gold and starlight. Such a beautiful soul inside an even more beautiful person. I wish I had been blessed to have seen him before he walked on to the ancestors but I know that I will meet him on the other side one day.
He was truly the voice of the Hawai'ian people's hearts. He made such beautiful music, and I consider it an honor to have lived in Hawai'i while he was still alive. Perhaps one day we'll get to meet one day, Mr. Kamakawiwo'ole...on a white sandy beach who knows where.
What a beautiful voice - the voice of a big and gentle soul! It hurts so much when such beautiful people pass away so early in life! But they left their light, the warmth of their soul for us on Earth! Hallowed be thy name!
every time I listen to this song it makes me think of how happy my brother was when he smiled and let go in too that beautiful place called heaven....but r.I.p iz. and everyone who has lost a loved one
Today 6/22/2014 was the first time I heard IZ, you can feel the love he has and see the love he gave and how God honored that by giving him loving people all around him. But that's just like my heavenly Father.
We miss you so very much. .Z!! No one makes music like you. ... your voice was soft sweet and beautiful♡♡♡♡ but God has you singing in heaven now... we love you. . :(
I saw this today, May 20, 2020. Iz and I both celebrate the same birthday but different years. He was a gentle Taurus. What a gift he brought to the world! Givings thanks to this gentle soul, whose spirit Lives.
Just discovered him 2 days ago and as a music artist bruddha IZ is so inspiring , probably one of a blessed voice on earth , rest in peace you will always be miss thanks for your great music and loving personality
i found this on you tube and fell in love with the big fulla with the most gentalist and serene voice.and man can you play that uke.RIP big guy.i ll be back for more.your music is in my heaven.
Ein so toller und lebensfroher Mensch. Die Welt braucht viel mehr solcher liebenswerter Menschen, dann wäre die Welt um vieles besser. Ich hätte gerne alle seine Lieder auf Deutsch.
Damn, his voice gets me all emotional and teary eyed, just brilliant I wished I knew of him when I was younger Iv been missing out on something so wonderful.
IZ had the most beautiful voice! His life may have been short, but in fact it was filled with beauty unsurpassed here on earth ~ music swirled and floated around this man. I am thankful he shared his talents with us before God called him home. I hope to sit with him one day and hear how Heaven has loved his music as well!
Aloha Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole !!!! Thanks so very much for you awesome and beautiful voice and this God-given talent has captured the hearts of millions of people everywhere all over the world !!!! Because you are a kind and tender hearted person , people are drawn to your honest humility as well~~~~~~and feel very comfortable with you !!!!! Me ke aloha pumehana, Robert S.J. Hu August 29, 2020.
So many Hawaiians came to the northwest coast (of Canada) in the 19th century, and intermarried with Indigenous peoples here. All my family's people were fishermen and women, and before the fishery ended here in the 1990s, many many of the fishermen spent a lot of winters in Hawaii, and felt very at home there. I have loved travelling there, and felt so at home with the Islanders. Pacific water people. xo
I heard part of this song on some commercial or something and went right to youtube to find it. Am so glad I did. I found my new obsession. I just wish this guy was able to stay around with us to make more music. I would buy any album he put out. Would loved to have met him just from what people say and the way his music comes out. I am sure I would have enjoyed hanging out for an afternoon with this guy easily.
We all come here with something to give, and something to overcome. His gift was music, and his challenge obesity. He failed on the second. His soul lives on, and will overcome this challenge in another life.
Just listen to the clarity of his voice. Pure simplicity and control. This guy was born with a gift/talent. To borrow from his song, the sound of his voice soothes my restless soul.
Gracias por este vídeo, muy emotivo para los que sentimos la buena música y voz, y actitud de Israel. Gracias también atí, Israel por todo lo que nos diste...d.e.p.
Seeing and hearing this brought an instant smile to my face and instant peace to my spirit. He has such a beautiful presence. It’s always a joy to come across one of his songs. I loved seeing a bit of his life. 🥰
We celebrated the life of a brother in arms who gave his life recently to protect others and help a country to live again after 36+ years of war some of IZs music was played there and as I have said before , to my island brothers, kindred spirits and brothers in arms with a tear in my eye but a smile in my heart we who grow old salute you.
Hey John nice post sir!! Hope you live to give a thousand more salutes. Although not easy, im sure. I was once told that if you live long enough you witness everybody around you pass. I guess we should make the most of it while we can. Good day John.
I can't believe he did not get the recognition he deserved when he lived. He is a wonderful man both for promoting his heritage beautifully and for his gorgeous singing voice which lulls me into remembering why life is, overall, good. He is a role model to me.
Beautiful! What a wonderful gift God gave to us, everyone I lent a CD out of IZ' to, fell in love with his music and IZ' most beautiful voice. I am sitting here heavy with tears as I write this. I hope he can hear me - ":You are much appreciated IZ, and I hope to meet you on the otherside someday!" ~Diana
The way he looked matters not and shouldn't , he was a great man with a wonderful family who cared so much for him, he was taken from this world too soon, and those shallow people who only see his body size and make negative comments then shame on you, x deb
IZ was beautiful inside and out and when he sang you heard his heart and soul. I am so glad that his music has hit the mainland and touches people continuously. He would have been so humbled by his success now.
such a loss not only to the state of HI and his family..........but to the world..........beautiful voice beautiful soul...........a humble man..........gentle and simple............the 3ed person to ever lie in state at the capital that was not a politician.........HI loves you...........how could anyone not love u..........RIP IZ you will be missed ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,every time I see a rainbow I will think of you..........
It's a shame... that he had to part, but still we have one of the most beautiful songs that I can remember heard... "somewhere over the rainbow...".... I still wonder why he got that big... he had a good life and a wife and a Daughter... I still cant understand it, maybe a disease or a genetic disorder.. who knows? still incredible soothing voice... May he rest in peace.
RIP IZ ... I feel blessed to be listening to your soulful voice and learn more about you. You certainly left this world a better place . ALOHA to your island people.
Thank you for what you gave us, IZ. You are missed here but we know we can find you. Where troubles melt like lemon drops way above the chimney tops. Aloha IZ.
Whoever has the audacity to focus on this man's weight instead of the gift he gave the world needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves what stamp they will leave on the world when THEY go.
What an extraordinary voice and what beauty he left to the world. Thanks for posting and Thanks IZ for your beautiful soul. It all comes through in your music. Great contribution to humanity. Only the best, Rick
Quero muito conhecer a história dele! Porém não consigo achar nem um documentário sobre a vida desse grande guerreiro... Eu amo as músicas dele, são um verdadeiro poema😍
The sound of his voice shines as the pure light of a loving heart. Brother IZ, may you live on in the many hearts who were touched by your beautiful soul.
His voice is the real deal do relaxing and soothing just beautiful...I wish they would play music like this on mainstream radio, we might be better ppl in the U.S.for listening to the words. Honestly I never knew of him or heard his music before other than Over the rainbow but I never knew the singer was him. My heart goes out to his family...R.I.P. Israel
Hannah Lollar What's rude and disrespectful about stating facts? Even calling him morbidly obese wouldn't be rude. It would be an accurate description. If I had called him a skinny little girl who can't sing, then that would have been rude and disrespectful. Learn the difference between insults and accurate descriptions.
I have never heard a better version of this song. IZ was a beautiful soul who had a God-given talent. You haters need to be as successful as he was and them maybe somebody will listen to you!
His fame had nothing to do with being obese. His beautifully smooth and mellow voice, his outstanding musicality and mastery of his instrument are the reasons for his fame.
Every time I hear this song of IZ’s I think of my step sister who pasted away, it was her favorite song. I hope he’s making music as she’s doing hula in heaven.
His music has touched me in a way no other has. I like to think he is around when it is played. He was such an incredibe soul. Those that knew him are truely blessed.
I'm not quick to judge people... Israel songs bring happiness to many people including me... He was great a great singer from the ''Island of Hawaii'' Now you people have negative thought about him just don't leave a comment... After all,,only '''GOD''can judge us...
I was stationed in Hawaii in the late 70's. Unfortunately I did not meet or even know about IZ. He is truly amazing. I can listen to his music over and over and feel so peaceful. My wife and I just went to Hawaii a few months ago and I made a video of some of the pics we took while we were over there. I put (In this Life) another song from IZ with the video and it came out amazing. His music is just perfect for a video of Hawaii. RIP You were truly a great performer.
pretty: IZ and his family had genetic gland disorders which couldn't be treated. If they could, it would have been done. Hawaii is part of the States so good medical care would be available. The glandular disorder made all his family overweight which contributed to heart and lung problems. And they all died young.
I just can't get enough of his soothing voice or of his life. Very endearing and heart breaking. How I would love to see a true to life movie about Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's life, starting with his parents, siblings, his music and his wife and child. Such a special person. May God bless his family and one day, I hope to meet him in Heaven too.
I hope you do. I hope I do too
@@shylinh5939a movie of his life and family would be very well received and empowering for Hawaiians
People are still discovering him all these years later. Just goes to show that he had a wonderful spirit, and his music is timeless. He really was a national treasure.
seems like you discover him when the time is right
In 2024 is crazy
Just discovered him 2 days ago and as a music artist bruddha IZ is so inspiring , probably one of a blessed voice on earth , rest in peace you will always be miss thanks for your great music and loving personality
Peace & Life Everlasting with Jesus 💝
Pray for guidance and wait Patiently 💝
Yep, almost 2025 and I'm over here almost tearing up hearing this for the first time. Timeless isn't a good enough word.
A true Polynesian. I never met him but I love this man. Love his music. I love the peaceful sound of his lyrics. The world needs more. Im sad he's gone.
I have a son that is due this coming July. We went and got a 3D ultrasound and the song "somewhere over the rainbow" was on the dvd that they gave us.

Weird of me to ask, but how is your son today? ☺
So schade, daß er so früh gehen musste.😭 Er hat uns so viele wunderschöne Lieder zurück gelassen, an denen wir uns erfreuen🤗. Er hatte eine so schöne, gefühlvolle Stimme.

Thank Allen Cash for the beautiful words. There is no room in this world for hate and hate speech. I don't understand it at all. Blessings.
Mary Shaw no
Some people can't see beyond their noses. That's their loss.
I hope you feel that way about anyone, You cannot judge anyone by their looks. IZ was a beautiful person.
@@glendaharris4776 He just did judge but with a hateful heart. It is not our business when others judge. Just ignore and not let them penetrate the purity of our spirit.
He was a Huge Men and Had a Huge Sweet Voice which EVERYONE will miss.......Thank God for You Tube and his Recordings.......he'll be With Us Forever!!
I had no idea of this dude. I wish I did, but I am glad I do now. God Bless his soul. Made me cry too... wow.
IZ has told in recordings, how he believes we live 'on both sides'. He always knew he would live on in Heaven. There is NO DOUBT.
How anyone could say something negative, about someone who bought so much happiness to total strangers lives ,is beyond me! I, for one, am grateful!! Thanks for your music ,and your sacrifice Israel.

He will be there singing with the angels in Heaven in his glorified body. I hope we can sing together for Jesus then.

I was enthralled with the sound of your beautiful voice. I am sorry you left us too soon, but you will never be forgotten. RIP .
He had such a beautiful voice. I love this and his singing of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Thank You for the music.

Thank you for what you gave us, IZ. You are missed here but we know we can find you. Where troubles melt like lemon drops way above the chimney tops. Aloha IZ.
Whoever has the audacity to focus on this man's weight instead of the gift he gave the world needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves what stamp they will leave on the world when THEY go.
Nobody will ever do a better definitive version of this song. IZ lives in my heard and stop with the snide comments, haters. This is a beautiful soul.
Beautiful voice so sad he passed so young xx
What an extraordinary voice and what beauty he left to the world. Thanks for posting and Thanks IZ for your beautiful soul. It all comes through in your music. Great contribution to humanity.

He was put on this earth 🌏 for a short time to show everyone to live in peace and harmony a sound of an angel 😇 love his music genius selina 🎶🌹❤️
Thank beautiful post nice & good night
The sound of his voice shines as the pure light of a loving heart.
Brother IZ, may you live on in the many hearts who were touched by your beautiful soul.
The voice of an angel.
His voice is the real deal do relaxing and soothing just beautiful...I wish they would play music like this on mainstream radio, we might be better ppl in the U.S.for listening to the words. Honestly I never knew of him or heard his music before other than Over the rainbow but I never knew the singer was him. My heart goes out to his family...R.I.P. Israel
God given pure talent
Actually fat given pure talent.
If he was skinny, he would have sounded different.
Rushil N Rude and disrespectful. Shake my head.
Hannah Lollar What's rude and disrespectful about stating facts? Even calling him morbidly obese wouldn't be rude. It would be an accurate description.
If I had called him a skinny little girl who can't sing, then that would have been rude and disrespectful.
Learn the difference between insults and accurate descriptions.
Rushil N
Rushil N It's still majorly messed up to call someone obese.
I have never heard a better version of this song. IZ was a beautiful soul who had a God-given talent. You haters need to be as successful as he was and them maybe somebody will listen to you!
His fame had nothing to do with being obese. His beautifully smooth and mellow voice, his outstanding musicality and mastery of his instrument are the reasons for his fame.
When we reach heaven we will encounter Big IZ Seranading the sun with his music from a soul so compasionate. Rest IN Peace Israel.
what a bautiful clear voice.
Iz your music is very beautiful I hope that your with God and your singing your heart out about the beautiful things he created , god bless this man .
A part of him will live in all of us, Meke Aloha Pua Ole Ahui Hou
Every time I hear this song of IZ’s I think of my step sister who pasted away, it was her favorite song. I hope he’s making music as she’s doing hula in heaven.
Very beautiful 👍 😀 👍 Musik from Hawaii very nice

Music to dream to...so sweet and gentle! RIP lovely lad. x
I'm not quick to judge people... Israel songs bring happiness to many people including me... He was great a great singer from the ''Island of Hawaii'' Now you people have negative thought about him just don't leave a comment... After all,,only '''GOD''can judge us...
RiP IZ :)
I was stationed in Hawaii in the late 70's. Unfortunately I did not meet or even know about IZ. He is truly amazing. I can listen to his music over and over and feel so peaceful. My wife and I just went to Hawaii a few months ago and I made a video of some of the pics we took while we were over there. I put (In this Life) another song from IZ with the video and it came out amazing. His music is just perfect for a video of Hawaii. RIP You were truly a great performer.
Coisa pra guardar pra sempre pra eternidade 😢😢😢
To this very day IZ, you are missed. Your voice was and is one of the most beautiful and soothing voices ever. Take care brother...
pretty: IZ and his family had genetic gland disorders which couldn't be treated.
If they could, it would have been done. Hawaii is part of the States so
good medical care would be available. The glandular disorder made all
his family overweight which contributed to heart and lung problems. And
they all died young.
This video makes me cry. He was taken away too soon. What a gentle soul and magnificent musician. Miss you💔
Esse cara teve seu tempo aqui entre simples mortais. Ele foi embora e tornou-se imortal.Valeu sua passagem aqui.
Thanks to American Idol, I recently discovered IZ and I am so entranced by his voice and ukulele. What a true gift to us.
magnifico...
