The scene toward the end of the video shows Israel(Braddah IZ) being layed to rest, with the dumping of the ashes into the ocean. This is how we say goodbye and pay respect to our loved ones. Time to come, visit Hawai'i, JB! No time like the present!
Derek it is just such a beautiful and moving way to say goodbye ♥️🕊.. because it looks like all of them are celebrating life and not just mourning the death♥️ so beautiful..
Hawaii is somewhere that I think of as a dream. I'm from Ireland and I will make it there some day. Love the ashes in the ocean, so beautiful and meaningful
I love at the end, that they added his ashes being distributed into his favorite part of the Hawaii coast line and everybody that knew him or heard him, loved him, loved his music, was there to celebrate his life. you saw that sign IZ lives that is so awesome r i p mahalo
Pronounced "Ka-mak-ah-vee-voh-oh-lay." Glad to see you reviewing this wonderful man. He was a very special person. Most people don't know who he was or what he means to the people of Hawaii. RIP Brudda IZ. You should check out him singing "Maui Medley" live.
I'm impressed you found IZ. He is one of my faves. Sadly he died very young, in 1998 I believe. His native stuff is better. He lived on the Hawaiian Islands and ran a (semi-peaceful) rebellion to bring back his native culture. His songs in his native tongue are great. He was a rocker but when he reached adulthood really tried to influence his people to hang on to traditional music and language (before it was lost). Search on RUclips for him. He is worth the time. His memorial in Hawaii is also on RUclips.
Oh and if you REALLY want to be up and happy do a reaction on Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy". Its exactly what many people need in this day and age. I loved this song. It was so me.
I listen to this song often. It always relaxes my cats for some reason. You did notice that was his funeral in the end. I thought that was so sad when he passed.
My daughter started hula lessons when she was 11 years old (1998)... I soon followed her & quickly discovered Bruddah Iz, as our hula kumu (teacher) was a huge fan of his music. Sadly he died a year before we joined the world of Hawaiian/Polynesian culture. We learned many hula choreographs to his beautiful songs. the very 1st dance we learned together was a "mother & daughter hula" to his rendition of "Ahi Wela" (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Hawaiian). Whenever the world gets too crazy & life's troubles become too much to bear, I just turn on his music and soon his ethereal voice soothes away whatever is ailing my heart & soul... I like to think that my baby girl is now with Bruddah Iz, dancing her heart out as he sings her favorite songs... She died last July, a month before her 31st birthday... RIP Bruddah Iz... and until we meet again, Aloha Nui Loa, my beautiful Lauren aka Maile (Hawaiian name given to her by our hula kumu). Mahalo (thanks) for posting this song, I hadn't heard it in quite a long time. Please be sure to check out some of his older music, both as a solo artist and when he was part of The Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau (with his older brother, Skippy), such amazing harmonies! I just recently found your channel & I'm looking forward to more of your reactions to different genres of music. I love it when folks have an open mind to try something new & different outside of their comfort zone norms. :-)
Iz was amazing! White Sandy Beach was another nice song of his. I would suggest also listening to the group Kalapana: - Nightbird - Naturally - You Make it Hard - When the Morning Comes
Very moving. Do you see the celebration? Of his life? They scattered him to the sea he loved. He wasn't meant to be here for long, but he gave the world his whole soul. 💖
IZ is an inspiration and was loved by all. I was at Makua when they spread his ashes from the Hokule'a. Cars stopped along the 2 lane road leading to Ka'ena bringing traffic to a stand-still. Hundreds of people were wading in the water and hundreds more were on land. A procession of big rigs blew and held their horns echoing through the valley while his ashes were placed into the ocean making it sound as if the State of Hawaii was crying . . . it's a moment I will never forget. An incredible celebration of life for an incredible man!!
OMG, first time he paused to make a comment, I had another chill!!!!! Think of it, the second time, I chilled, you guys when there was silence. Powerful stuff.
Oh, thank you so much for sharing this video. I love watching this as it shows a man who is not only an amazing singer, but a beautiful person, so proud of his country and culture and in return how much everyone else loves him too.😅 It also makes me cry at the sadness of losing such a wonderful person. R I P IZ 😭🙏💖 hi to everyone from England ✌👍👋
As soon as I saw this I thought, oh my God I have to go watch this. He had the voice of an Angel. His rendition of Over the Rainbow, oh my Lord, there was never ever anybody who did it better, or who was going to do it better. I was so devastated when he passed away. He was so young and so full of music. His voice was just angelic RIP mahalo
Israel was awesome. I first heard his music on a helicopter ride over the island of Kauai. I liked the music so much I asked the guy flying the helicopter who he was listening to. He told me it was Israel. After we landed I went and looked for his CD.
Hello from Canada, this is why I love watching your reaction videos because songs are neither so many songs out there in the world that are new to so many different genres and so many different people a lot of people use this song for their wedding as the bride was walking it's such a beautiful singer and song God bless you and thank you for your reactions
You know what? You are such an awesome sweetheart a sensitive soul. There's black there's white there's so many different shades and when you put the two together there are so many wonderful colors, and you and your reactions bring them all together love from Canada it's your girl Sam I think you're awesome
I HAVE BEEN TO Hawaii it is paradise so sad he is gone he was Hawaii's angel so crazy that when I touched down in Hawaii he was the first song I heard on the radio so chilling love him
I absolutely love this version of the song...he truly made it his own I first heard it at the end of the movie "Finding Forester." Absolutely beautiful!
I first heard this version watching the movie Finding Forrester and all I could do was cry, one of the rare people that can take an original and make it his own.
You were definitely meant to have music in your life. Your emotional response is one of the purest thing I've seen. I hope you continue to discover all the "old" songs, they will get you through difficult times.
It's great that you are expanding your music horizons, and discovering new singers and songs. When you hear something different that you like, please take a little time to check out whether it is a cover or not. If it is a cover, it is generally a fact that the original was magnificent enough that everyone wants to sing it. Judy Garland did this really well in the film "Wizard of Oz", and a little 6 yo English girl Connie Talbot did a moving version despite no musical training and poor breathing techniques, but she nailed it on Britain's Got Talent (eventually coming second). My enjoyment of this song comes from the singer, and his JOY as he performs it. Sure, he didn't know the words sometimes, but that didn't matter AT ALL. It was magnificent, and I thank you for showing me this talented guy.
It’s definitely my most favorite version of this song..♥️ I’m always kinda in tears because that was played at my uncle‘s funeral♥️ .. I’m so sorry that he died so early and could not even experience his worldwide success he made with this song!♥️🌌🙏🏻🕊
This was my mom’s favorite song and my brother and niece sang it at her funeral. Needless to say I can’t listen to it with out crying...Thank you for reacting to it...
You make me smile often! Thank you for that♡ His version of this song & your reaction to it, is so pure♡ It's one of my all time favorites. Will never tire of hearing it. R.I.P., IZ. Thank you♡
Please react to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” sung by the extremely talented Eva Cassidy. Besides her beautiful voice, she was a talented song arranger with impeccable phrasing, who breathed new life into old songs and made them her own. And speaking of what you were saying, she was another amazingly talented performer gone too soon (she died of melanoma at age 33). We only have low-quality black and white video recordings of her performing live at DC’s Blues Alley, but she was so good, that the video of her performing ‘SOTRainbow’ was played in Britain after her death on a popular video show (top of the pops 2), and it was the most requested video in the show’s history! She died in obscurity, but had a #1 album after her death. Her brother, a violinist, made a duet with her voice after she died, called “I know you by heart”...brings tears to the eyes (mine at least)...
What an amazing talented man this song is off of the album facing future....find it and listen to it better yet buy the album it is soooo beautiful, all of his music is...♡
Bruddah IZ! Love this song, makes me think of my family. Living far away from them makes it hard, but songs like these bring them closer. Great video! Shaka bruddah 🤙🏽
This song is one of the most poignant moments in "Finding Forester" and cements the feeling for the theme of the movie. I had never heard this version and I was stunned...
He was layer to rest like a King. I was at his funeral. It was epic. No one has ever been given the honors he was given. He deserve it. If not more. The funeral was so massive no building could handle it. Even a stadium wouldn’t be big enough. Lines for several city blocks away had people waiting to pay their respects. There were hula dancers. Rich and poor people. Locals and foreigners. It went on for hours. They had his funeral at the office build of the state capital. His ash were lay out in the ocean. He was taken out by one of our rediscovered greatest ancient ships. Once again many came to their respect to him. In Ancient Greece kings fear be forgotten. Sometimes wish they were a commoner because of it. IZ was that common man rise to greatness. That brought a sincere heartwarming voice to the masses. A man that will never be forgotten. That will always be remembered by the Hawaiian people and the world. Rest In Peace
I first encountered Isael and his brother and his band in a prison in 1979. (I was a visitor) and I thought, "wow these guys are great" It just got better from there. This song brings tears to my eyes.
Living here in Hawaii now. From Hunters Point SF to the Big Island and digging it. Voice of an Angel. Keep it going Bro and Much Aloha to your Grandmother, rayray ✊✌️🤙
I first heard this one 'watching TV', New Year's Morning 12:05 AM, right after "New York, New York", being played in Times Square right after, or during New Year's first kisses. It was such a beautiful vibe. Judy's version is special and the original, and Ariana's crying her eyes out from all the emotion from the Manchester bombing and the all-day Manchester One Love concert event. Each is special for it's own thing...
IZ was such a gentle soul but he could be very forceful in his expressing his love for indigenous Hawaiians and their quest to continue to practice Hawaiian culture in a Hawaiian nation. I got to see him 3 times, such a pleasure and, shall I say, privilege.
One of the best reaction videos that I have ever seen. You didn't get into the way of the music and your sound quality was excellent. Well done to a majestic singer. Gone too soon for all of us.
This song was used in the closing credits of Finding Forrester- with Sean Connery and a young black student who he tudors unbeknownst to others. Great 👍 song great movie 🎥 ✌🏾
First time I heard this song, it was on an episode of ER. One of the doctors Mark Greene, was dying from an inoperable brain tumor and they played this song as he took his last breath. I hated ER for doing that to me because they had me bawling like a big baby.
if you have not been, go to Hawaii...is a spiritual experience....also, have you reviewed Bobby Caldwell doing What You wont do for Love? Check out his youtube vid from first performance live, I believe was 1976, is amazing....also, perahaps some Steely Dan with Larry Carlton playin Don't Take Me Alive...sure, is old, but if you never heard before nay surprise you...You do a great job and know no boundries, that is how music is
He recorded this in ONE take. He is revered in Hawaii. He did so much for indigenous people there.
The scene toward the end of the video shows Israel(Braddah IZ) being layed to rest, with the dumping of the ashes into the ocean. This is how we say goodbye and pay respect to our loved ones. Time to come, visit Hawai'i, JB! No time like the present!
Derek it is just such a beautiful and moving way to say goodbye ♥️🕊.. because it looks like all of them are celebrating life and not just mourning the death♥️
so beautiful..
rest in peace Braddah IZ
I love hear him talk, tell joke, such a real dude
@@mrsfahrenheit yes..... perfect expression of what I experienced.
Hawaii is somewhere that I think of as a dream. I'm from Ireland and I will make it there some day. Love the ashes in the ocean, so beautiful and meaningful
This version of the song makes me cry every time I hear it
Me too 😭
😭

CDO1113
Yeah, same here.
aloha and mahalo
He is not dead he is somewhere over the rainbow now RIP BIG MAN.
That's the sweetest thing I've heard a someone 🌈
I love at the end, that they added his ashes being distributed into his favorite part of the Hawaii coast line and everybody that knew him or heard him, loved him, loved his music, was there to celebrate his life. you saw that sign IZ lives that is so awesome r i p mahalo
This makes me cry every time. Best version ever of this song, So sad it ends with his funeral, Haiwan style. Shame. Thanks James, love from England x
I keep getting angry every time I hear it. Somebody starts chopping up onions every time it gets to the end and my eyes start watering!!
My favorite version! What a beautiful voice he had.
I love that you didn't even mention his weight and focused on his beautiful talent.
C Beck What weight???
C Beck why did you ?
He's 200 pounds of pure heart
He had a gorgeous voice
Pronounced "Ka-mak-ah-vee-voh-oh-lay." Glad to see you reviewing this wonderful man. He was a very special person. Most people don't know who he was or what he means to the people of Hawaii. RIP Brudda IZ.

Our grandson is Kainoa. Brudda Iz sings "Kainoa" so beautifully, it breaks my heart. Iz, no ka oi.

Wow when did he die?
Omar Cisneros 1997
There is a Pixar short called “Lava” I recommend checking out for your own enjoyment, the main character is based on Kamakawiwo’ole, it’s very sweet.
didn;t know it's ased on him a great short
i love that, it made me cry in the cinema lol
He was a Beautiful soul and to have your ashes poured out in the ocean is to me the greatest RIP IZ
Iz was amazing! White Sandy Beach was another nice song of his.
I would suggest also listening to the group Kalapana:
- Nightbird
- Naturally
- You Make it Hard
- When the Morning Comes
Very moving.
Do you see the celebration? Of his life? They scattered him to the sea he loved.

Yep I’m a grown man and I tear up watching this
The original was sung by the incredible late Judy Garland when she played in the movie The Wizard of Oz.
As soon as I saw this I thought, oh my God I have to go watch this. He had the voice of an Angel. His rendition of Over the Rainbow, oh my Lord, there was never ever anybody who did it better, or who was going to do it better. I was so devastated when he passed away. He was so young and so full of music. His voice was just angelic RIP mahalo
The goosebumps when i realised i was watching his funeral at the end of the clip!
Israel was awesome. I first heard his music on a helicopter ride over the island of Kauai. I liked the music so much I asked the guy flying the helicopter who he was listening to. He told me it was Israel. After we landed I went and looked for his CD.
Music is my therapy 🙏

Here's a genre of music not many people know about.
A Tribe Called Red Stadium Pow Wow
Give it a listen to
Every time, chills.......long chills. Longest of all my chills.

I let this song playing on my mother's funeral four years ago. She was 62 and loved this song.
Brother Iz was special. God bless you big man and rest in peace.
Get to go home to the islands every time I hear this song!!!! Love it! Aloha!
Bruddah IZ! Love this song, makes me think of my family. Living far away from them makes it hard, but songs like these bring them closer. Great video! Shaka bruddah 🤙🏽
i had the privilege of living in Hawaii for 6 years. Amazing people. Fell in love with Bruddah IZ in one week. Such a gentle soul.. Rest well dear IZ
He was a special man with a great talent. He was gone far too soon. Beautiful song, I think the best version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
This song is from the movie "The Wizard of Oz" sung by Judy Garland. 80 years ago!
Once again a great reaction ❣️My day has started well ✌️💖
Loved this version since first hearing it at the end of the movie "Fifty First Dates".
This song is one of the most poignant moments in "Finding Forester" and cements the feeling for the theme of the movie. I had never heard this version and I was stunned...
Subscribed to both of your channels now, James. I'm glad to hear you didn't end your life, James! God bless you, brother!

Thanks forgot about this one always liked this version just added it to my library
I’m from Hawaii and Braddah IZ was and is so dear to our hearts.
I first encountered Isael and his brother and his band in a prison in 1979. (I was a visitor) and I thought, "wow these guys are great" It just got better from there. This song brings tears to my eyes.
He was an amazing singer & love this song too. It's so sad he died, just a nice guy & what a singer!!

What a voice! Wow! So beautiful.
Beautiful soul with a voice to match.
He looks incredibly kind .. And for a smile .. 😀 RIP greetings from Norway
Rest in peace IZ *wipes tears from eyes*
Damn!! Big guy has a nice soft voice, i like it👍🏼
I was lucky enough to get to see Iz perform with the Makaha Sons. He is much missed.
IZ was such a gentle soul but he could be very forceful in his expressing his love for indigenous Hawaiians and their quest to continue to practice Hawaiian culture in a Hawaiian nation. I got to see him 3 times, such a pleasure and, shall I say, privilege.
I loved it too! What a nice rendition of that song! Very pleasant to listen to!
IZ had to have a beautiful soul
Subscribed to your new channel, dear young man. Iz had such an heavenly angelic voice.
I walked down the aisle to this. Nothing but happiness.
It's so peaceful ..so simple and calming ...I love it!
He was truly a soft souls that blessed us with his version of this famous song. His legacy is truly forever and is a culture in Hawaii..
One of the best reaction videos that I have ever seen. You didn't get into the way of the music and your sound quality was excellent. Well done to a majestic singer. Gone too soon for all of us.
What a beautiful voice. This warms my heart. 🙂
Plz react to The Goombay Dance Band singing "Seven Tears" (at the ZDF Disco 1981) . Thank you.
I love the loving and peaceful look on Israel's face. Would have loved to have met him.
This is a great song. One that moves me even more is his song White Sandy Beaches. I cry every time I hear it, and I don't cry easy
This song was used in the closing credits of Finding Forrester- with Sean Connery and a young black student who he tudors unbeknownst to others. Great 👍 song great movie 🎥 ✌🏾
This song always sheds tears for me.
R.I.P Braddah IZ ... ❤️My hometown Oahu❤️One day I will go back to visit my island home
This song is on the movie "50 first dates".
Loved it ever since!!
I love this version, it’s so mellow and soft and relaxing.
Such a beautiful soul
Judy Garland recorded this in 1938.. It's been covered 100's and 100's of times since then but I think IZ's is the most beautiful and haunting. RIP IZ
My favorite song by him is Hawai’i 78. The feels...
Great Great Version of this song Love It !!!
First time I heard this song, it was on an episode of ER. One of the doctors Mark Greene, was dying from an inoperable brain tumor and they played this song as he took his last breath. I hated ER for doing that to me because they had me bawling like a big baby.
I just love your reaction to this one..
What A Beautiful soul he was
if you have not been, go to Hawaii...is a spiritual experience....also, have you reviewed Bobby Caldwell doing What You wont do for Love? Check out his youtube vid from first performance live, I believe was 1976, is amazing....also, perahaps some Steely Dan with Larry Carlton playin Don't Take Me Alive...sure, is old, but if you never heard before nay surprise you...You do a great job and know no boundries, that is how music is
That's his funeral at the end.
