Love brudda iz. When we moved to Hawaii when I was a child, they were holding his funeral service outside Honolulu, and they were carrying his ashes out in a boat to spread them over the ocean my dad told me - and there was just an infinite line of cars and traffic who came to honor the life of Brudda Iz. He has always been a blessing in my life and i love this man’s soul, and music. I can’t wait to meet him in heaven one day thanks to JESUS

[@pekelosilveirajr7461]

Went to 6 or 7 of his concerts amazing and when he passed I went to his funeral at our state capital in honolulu and at the spreading of his ashes at Makua Beach I swam in the water for 4 hours around the hokule'a a double hauled sailing canoe were his ashes was thrown out into the ocean from on top of it and what was weird some of the ashes got in my eyes I washed it out and after it was done everyone swam back to shore and alot of the flowers that was cast into the ocean followed me to shore like a stream of flowers it was the most spiritual feeling I ever had and still had since like we shared a connection that day somehow and everytime I hear his songs it makes me cry a feeling of pain, honor and courage and just proud that he was our Hawaiian superman always will love him and his ohana RIP my lovely man

I love the man, but what about Jesus Christ? I thought Jesus Christ had all that.

I've heard somewhere over the rainbow, listening to Iam Tongi he sang that song. First time I'm listening to Iz. Beautiful.

[@denniszinke2115]

I ran across Israel's music quite by accident. Now I can't help but listen to his music on a daily basis. What I also appreciate is the love he had for his people and it was returned. Yes, it is a terrible loss but we still have these video's to remember a man not only with a great talent but a voice that projected such a great love for his people.

[@janelucillehoobler]

I love this video so MUCH!!! Thank you!

[@raymondparsley7442]

IZ is home again with that choir of angels in the sky.... Heaven smiled on us for awhile... with Israel's inspiring spirit of love and music. He is remembered and missed....

[@user-cg6oi1bu5e]

He must have a beautiful soul cause it comes through his music. His people loved him.

[@elisamagill1365]

I was in Hawaii in 2019 and heard a musician playing Israel's song, "Hawaii 78." Listening to the words and melody touched my soul. I remembered that song's main lyrics and melody for 4 years, until my current visit (June 2023), when I learned the name of the song and then looked Israel up. I've been listening to his other songs now as well. I just love his music! You can feel his soul in his art, which is a rare thing... he truly loved his people and land. So nice to have these recordings available... his legacy lives on. Thank you IZ!

[@benfreedom9737]

this is what youtube should be about. natural music in natural settings with positive comments!

[@twodogzdogue8710]

Hawaiian families rock, but wow, their music rocks big time! I love this music. Im in the wrong country lol funny guys laughing when theyre singing about sweet luv! Haha

[@twodogzdogue8710]

Wow, what an incredible voice! There was an angelic voice also in the beautiful music of a blind Australian Aboriginie - he passed also. These brothers never met i dont think but my gord, i wish they had. Such gifts straight from the Father, unadulterated, no need for 'auto-tune' like all the rock n roll, pop singers in the world.. This is the real way music should be: The King just told us: "doing the least amount of work & having the most fun" - yayy, i dig that!

[@twodogzdogue8710]

Is this setting in a studio, where the guys with guitars are sitting on left & Iz on the right, or is it outside? Pretty darn good guitar work too !

[@gaylebanks7533]

I’m in tears with this song considering what is going on in zmaui right now. From Canada

[@maryscott1620]

It is easy to hear why he was voted the "voice of Hawaii." Wish I had discovered him years ago.

[@passionflowerentertainment501]

I grew up listening to IZ, as a kid of the 90s I grew up with a Hawiian family in California and the beauty in his voice, the stories in his songs, and the passion he put into it always struck me

[@wekeulakaka6778]

Remember u since middle school when u & Skippy came to Mrs. Lau's class to present her with ur very 1st. 45 record of Morning Dew in the mid 70's. I'm sure someday everyone will hear ur beautiful music God Bless my Brudda...
