Everybody just called him Iz. He has another version that mixes Over the Rainbow with What a Wonderful World. The world lost a beautiful soul when he died.

The final scenes were of his funeral, they returned his ashes to the sea. It appears to be a party, but it is family and friends celebrating his life.

I didn’t realize that’s what that was at the end. 😞

Such a beautiful version of this song. So many people have recorded it over the years but I feel this is one of the best. Sadly Israel IZ Kamakawiwoʻole died at the age of 38 in 1997. "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" was written for the 1939 film "The Wizard Of Oz" & was sung by actress Judy Garland. I also like the version done by Eva Cassidy.

He sang in a band called the Makaha sons of Ni'hau. Hawai;i One of the high moments in my life was going to a small bar on O'ahu in the mid 1980's to listen to their music. His sisters got on stage and danced hula what an evening.
