  • israel iz kamakawiwoʻole

    Just discovered this talented singer from Hawaii on You Tube. Sadly now deceased at the too early age of 38.

    Looks like there is a "Greatest Hits" album just released this year and available from a well known online retailer.

    Anyone else a fan?

    I just nearly deleted this thread as spam! I have no idea who they are, but their name looks like spam-gobble-de-gook

        There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.

            Yep amazing - we went to hawaii on our honeymoon - man totally AMAZING place.

            We walked up the isle to his 'wonderful world/over the rainbow' mix Or back down it actually, walked up it to erm iris by the goo goo dolls (brother in laws played the instrumental version).

            Yep, have it on my phone - often listen to it to get rid of the daily stress.

            Infact *puts it on now*

            Oh yes, we heard it on a tour on hawaii - mentioned it was a song at our wedding and the tour dude turned it up on the radio and made everyone shut up and listen to it hehe.

                His version of "Over the rainbow" was played on E.R when Dr Mark Green died. I have to say it's one of my favorite versions.

                    His "Over the rainbow" song is massive in France at the moment. Its on constantly. Had a party a week or so ago, and apparently he's been dead 10 years?? However I'd had quite a lot of Pastis and it was a conversation in foreign so I may have got that wrong.
                    Fantastic voice the big fella.

                          Also played at the end of Meet Joe Black, makes the movie all the more moving.
