Met him since '85. Just 18, moving to Hawaii in '84, graduated in Farrington c/o 1984 and heard IZ's improvisation in Ala Moana Shopping Mall. It sounds like he's well gifted, talented with aspiring music. '88, his Somewhere Over The Rainbow has been released, enjoyed it very well. I had a signed autograph from him on my College binder. It was great seeing him til I last saw him '92 till I go back to San Fran. Rest well, IZ.
It's crazy how far he would've gone if he was with us today, may he rest somewhere over the rainbow
Happy 61st birthday Israel! You had such a talented and amazing voice. Many were very upset about your death, but your presence is among us and is seems like you never left. Anytime we see this video we will quickly click on it. You made a difference in this world and will always make one. Have a happy birthday and I hope you are safe.
My son is 1 year old, he hums to over the rainbow. Thank you IZ for bringing him joy!! Rest in Paradise
What a touching testimony 😥😥😥
Humming baby.......?!?!
yur baby must be big brain
The Real Epic1232 or big pp
Crackhead Chronicles yes
so gifted, so beautiful. I am finding him so comforting right now with all the corona madness - what a wonderful soul - love and respect to his spirit
total bullshit!!! this guy can't control his own eating habits and he is going to guide the world? Don't be suckered in by others left handed agendas. Jesus is the ONLY way. This is a constructed distraction presented to people by the one group in this world that is always trying sell us something. This guy is an entertainer, no more no less! if you enjoy his stuff that is fine. Don't read anything else into it PERIOD
@@gearhead0800 hope your fall off that judgmental high horse ends sadly; nobody's gonna miss someone like you.
A beautiful soul for sure.
Google only appreciates you when you're dead
Rip
Love his music. I renewed my 50th Anniversary in Hawaii with his song “Over the rainbow.” Rip, sweet soul!🙌🏼
Spent 3 years in Pearl Harbor when I was active duty. Used to see Brother IZ pretty often. He died when I was there. Sad day.
Thank you for your service and welcome home!
You were stationed in pearl harbor? I love everything about about pearl harbor
@@DillyDilly1996 stationed there for 3 years on the USS Willamette AO-180
@@retirednavy8720 can you look me up on facebook or something so we can talk more about it? I'm fascinated with pearl harbor
@@DillyDilly1996 nope.
i miss him so much. i luv his singing. i luv his music. im not just speaking for myself when i say we wish he was still here, n singing. he had a beautiful voice, n an even brighter soul. he was so sweet. i luv this song so much. god bless u IZ, we miss and luv u.
he knows his way so well with a ukulele and his voice. he can make every song beautifull
What a remarkable voice it keeps me very calm during this corona virus pandemic. you will be respected for what you have done. may god bless you and your soul.
Shame he's dead
The late Iz is a legend.his fans all over the globe missed him...
I am missing him, missing his music. I think many of us around the world are missing him too. He's great.
Yes we are.
Yup he's great!
Boa
He is true Hawaiian that Hawaiian is the greatest thing to ever will be I love him so much my really good brother went to school with him and that's why I love my music so much I miss him but he's never gone cuz you can always listen to his music and bring the old times back Rock on Beretta Shaka brah
So do I
My grandfater died in 2010 when i was 13 years old. Me my young brother and my mothers song for his is Some where over the rainbow. My grandmother just passed 3 moths ago unfornitly from Covid.... her favorit song was country road..... its crazy that i get to see my granfathers favorit singer and songwrighter.... sing my grandmonthers favorit song.... ❤️❤️❤️
I sure that the Country Roads took him home to Paradise, he sings with the rest of the great singers we've lost over time.
They're all sitting around the big fire in the sky having a good time, I'm not a religious person, but that's how I like to think of it 💚 🤜🤛
Hadn't heard of IZ. Walking through bookstore with CD listening stations. Picked up a headset at random. Could not believe what I was hearing! Got SO excited! Called wife over, made her listen. Bought CD. Never looked back. IZ forever!!!
IZ will be in our hearts forever. I was so excited to get a lot of his CD's, and buy his book.
God Bless IZ, his family and all who so deeply respect and love him. (No past tense, IZ lives. He told us so!) xoxo
He will always as be singing "Over the Rainbow ", and it will never have a special meaning as this one! Thanks for all these tributes!
I think John Denver would've loved this rendition - Iz makes the song about his home. Beautiful.
Cheryl Van Til Probably both strumming together with Karen Carpenter jamming on her drums with Micheal Jackson up in heaven.🥰
He was actually alive during this event. So yeah, he probably did.
IZ would have loved Denver too. Love !
@@DocTraumaa somewhere over the rainbow I think
@@DocTraumaa i believe most music cant truly claim originality. As it is a exptession that builds upon the music which came before. Why dose music make us feel up down and all betweeen because i believe its an organically changing force type idea so the idea may well be no one owns a tempo or a scale ect. But i think he has a few anyway. He plays alot of Hawaiian folk/traditional like many cultures other than or consumer minded western culture.
This brought a tear to my eye. Until now, I'd never seen Bruddah IZ perform his version of "Country Roads" live. Even near the end of his life, that golden voice still shone through. Mahalo for unearthing this footage.
Kind of reminds me of Elvis lol, not in there singing, but in there lifespan of hos they slowly gained weight and in the end of their lifetime, you could tell they gained weight, but they both still had the same passion for music
😁
I love his changes to the song. He loved Hawaii.
Hasta con su oxígeno se atrevía a cantar
I have listen to his music a long time my brother loved his music and it was played at his funeral. We need more human beings like.
Rip
He really lifted up our spirits he is resting in his peace
Such a loss to the world but what a wonderful legacy Iz leaves behind. I can't imagine there are many people that aren't immediately touched not only by his beautifully angelic voice, but the wonderful aura and positivity his mere presence seemed to generate. I wish I had been lucky enough to have met him and I'm sure he had a lasting effect on those who were.
For sure he's smiling down as he's strumming and singing gently from somewhere over his own special rainbow 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
a rare thanks to the algorithm! Always a smile in my face when he sings. Rest in Power Israel!
A couple months ago I came accross his music in UTube for the first time! God! I'm glad I did. What a loss...
Energy is never lost,Only changes form
He lives
It’s sad he’s gone. Maybe he would’ve written a song to calm us during this time
@Kade Gainey He already has wrote many songs that calm us down😁
@Hser agree, guy is legend!
Jay Jose ummm... he’s pretty dead
@@kadegainey5123 That's right, he's ashes, poured into the pacific.
There's no calming down marxists.
Músicas e voz lindíssima, deixou muitas saudades grande perda realmente !😌😢🤧
Love from Canada...RIP gentle Hawaiian giant with the beautiful voice.
@@kingofromekor5778 Perhaps you could try "English as a second language" course. LMAO! :)
Iz suffered from obesity his hole life to the point were he weighed 752 pounds before he died but he didn’t worry and just kept making great music to make other people happy. Thakyou iz.
Switch Dolphin as a big fella myself, I can tell you nobody let him get that big.
Think of it as an addiction, I myself am addicted, I just have to be more active which is the only reason I’m not at his size here.
Nobody wakes up and decides they want to be that size, some of us can’t help ourselves and find it’s more important than anything else. What do you think a heroin addict would do if they could shoot up for .99, or if heroin was legal?
How well would a recovering addict be if he was told you have to have 2 drinks a day but no more. Food addicts can’t cut out food altogether.
Just as a heroin addict over dosed, this guys weight caught up to him just like mine will one day also.
@@brokefarmerjohn2422 Hes parents might be the one to blame. Being overweight as a child will make you more likely to overweight as a adult. So maybe you cant blame his parents but if they let him gain to much weight as a child they didnt make it easier for him in life.
@@JAA949 that’s one prob with today’s culture, everyone wants to blame other people. He was a grown ass man. He might have had bad parents, maybe he had great parents idk. But he was 38 when he passed, he had warnings before the end.
My dad was constantly on me about my eating, I would hide food and sneak food, I don’t blame my parents for my size, they weren’t enablers. I would blame it on genetics over learned habits.
I don’t blame anyone for my size. I know I’m miserable if I don’t eat, I know food is more important than anything I have or anyone I know. I chose it over anything else and that’s why I’m the size I am. Same with this fella.
@@brokefarmerjohn2422 Yeah you should not blame anyone but im only saying that hes parentes maybe made it harder for him. There is alot of research done and if you are overweight as a Child its more likely you will be overweight as a adult. And ultimately your parents are The one responsible for you as a Child. But I agree that there is to much blaming other People today.
@@brokefarmerjohn2422 i hope you don’t die young bro. obesity is a big killer, best of health🤘🏻
Your home now big guy. Thanks for leaving this amazing music
He is not dead
He is somewhere over the rainbow🌈🕊
somewhere over the buffet.
@@Jonpine24 bruh -_-
I love his uke music, especially Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Such a lovely song with his wonderful ukulele.
@@Jonpine24 that's why I read the comments thanks for the laugh
@@Jonpine24 LOL
Big man big heart big voice and bigger love he had for the world and for the music he brought to all of us rest in peace bless you and thank you 🙏
Sempre ouço as músicas deste eterno cantor, é uma pena que partiu tão cedo 👏👏👏😔😔
Bella voz y hermosa melodía!!!!!
Gracias gran IZ por dejarnos tantas bellas canciones que disfrutaremos por siempre!!!!!!!❤❤❤💕
You always bring peace to me IZ....I thank you for that with a smile.....peace to you from a fellow Islander.
What is going through the minds of people that thumbs down this man. He had a talent you people only wish you had.
watching in 2019, one of my favorite songs of all time, thank u IZ
Aloha Holy Father in the name of JESUS thank you for the likes of IZ and Ravi Zacharias bless us all.
Truly a legend of beautiful songs.
To all those thumbs down you dont know whay the man went trough and how happy he was he was a wonderful man and dosent mayer how you look in the inside only in the outside to all haters you should feel sorry
Yes he was a big man with a huge heart. He didnt fit the typical famous Hollywood type. That's what I like about him. You could tell by his spirit and character he was genuine
@Weedman IZ ultimately passed from respiratory failure...nothing wrong with his huge heart, so sit down
Youre apparently a great human, thanks for showing to us how nice you are. Congratulations.
I think you got that backwards, but your intention is clear.
@andromeda corkas did he ever make his own music? I've only heard him covering songs
Love watching IZ always puts a smile on your face guy is a legend such a beautiful singer
Love Over the Rainbow and just found this one. Love his style. RIP
I love Iz. Every time I hear his music, it reminds me of one my favorite places, Hawaii. This guy is legend there. I keep going back. Been to every island. The one I like best is Maui.
His voice is smooth with such a beautiful tonne to it.... What a talent. Too bad he passed so young.
thank god google doodle reminded me of the beauty of IZ's music. I have such good memories from his music. Rest in peace IZ
Country road take me home to the place I belong-and so it is-Blessed Be.
I can only dream of being loved as much as this guy was and still is RIP Iz
