Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole was a Hawaiian musician.
His medley of “Over the Rainbow” and “What a Wonderful World” was featured in films, television commercials and television programs. He remains one of the major influences in Hawaiian music.
Every time I listen to this version of Over the Rainbow I am completely absorbed.
On June 26th 1997 Israel died of respiratory complications caused by his weight. The world lost a beautiful spirit.
Have a listen and maybe see what I see.
