I had never heard of him before , just found this on browsing
so lovely

Answer 1

Thank you for introducing me to Iz. How beautiful!

I was browsing on Amazon to check out his CDs and found this. Wow!

To gauge the magnitude of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's popularity in his native Hawaii, consider this: following his death in 1997 (at age 38, attributed to his profound obesity), Kamakawiwo'ole's body lay in state in the state capitol, only the second person to receive such an honor.

Kamakawiwo'ole's appeal lies in his love for prestatehood, pre-condominium Hawaii and the expressiveness of his gently passionate voice, which can float through higher registers with an ease...

Answer 2

It was a beautiful video. And the bible tells us the rainbow is a promise from god that He will never flood the earth again. It is a reminder to people of all times that He always keeps His promises.

Well, except maybe during the Katrina Hurricane in New Orleans which killed 1300 people.

Or maybe during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami which killed 300.000 people.

Oh well.

Answer 3

My 2 superb friends are Sagittarius and Taurus. and that i glance to entice Sagitarian, Taureans and Scorpions lots. yet with Scorpio it somewhat is mostly a romantic link particularly than a friendship. don't get me incorrect I do have Scorpio friends yet no longer as many as others. actual my sought after indicators are Taurus and Sagittarius. they're so opposite yet i'm getting what i choose emotionally from them the two. i like my BFFs! i'm getting alongside particularly lots with Aquarians yet now and lower back they are in a position to be annoying so because it somewhat is possibly why I in basic terms have 2 Aquarian friends. i discover that they lie and/or exaggerate too lots for my flavor. and that they communicate lots. yet those that have a tendency to be greater balanced are somewhat some exciting and make good friends. the different indicators are cool too yet i discover that they do no longer stay in my existence as long as my Sagitarians and Taureans.

Answer 5

Is that LeeBoy from shallow hal?

(funny, just a few hours ago I was saying that one of my favorite songs is "somewhere over the rainbow." I was watching the end of "Meet Joe Black", and that song was on for the credits.)

Answer 7

If you're a fan of ER, you'll recognize it from the last Mark Greene episode. It was playing when he died.

IZ passed away a number of years ago. Yes, his weight was a factor.

Answer 8

I have a few of Iz's CDs. I was very sad when he died. He was like a god in Hawai'i. One of only two people to lay in state after his death, I think . . . .

Beautiful, beautiful man. I highly recommend anything by him. Such a gentle beautiful voice.
