Israel Kamakawiwo'ole also known as Braddah Iz...Hawaiian Superman! It's actually a mix..Somewhere over the Rainbow & What A Wonderful World. I love that song. It's very sweet.

Many people have done this song; with the ukelele it might hae been Don Ho...............
There was a very touching use of this song in one of the HBO "Taxicab Confessions". The show started out with a particularly upbeat, fast tempo metallic version; also inbetween some of the stories. But it closed with a sorrowful,, poignant rendition by Willie Nelson.

Somewhere over the rainbow was sung by Judy Garland, wasn't it for the Wizard of Oz. Only she is not Hawaiian

Sounds like maybe Don Ho. I'm not really sure, I though he and all his fans died out about an eon ago. You could try music catalogues.
