I'm so glad you decided to react to this song and share it on your channel. I recommended it to you back when Iam first performed in Hawai'i at the Disney Resort and everyone was comparing him to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. As you can see (hear), their voices are not the same, but they have their own distinct sound and style of singing that can "soothe my restless soul" and "rock me all night long." They both have that devotion to their music and the same "kolohe" (rascal) personality. I donʻt think Iam wanted to record a full version because itʻs hard to be compared to Bruddah IZ, as he said when he sang "What a Wonderful World" on Idol. "White Sandy Beach" is one of my favorite songs done solo by Bruddah IZ and by the group he came from, the legendary group, the Mākaha Sons of Niʻihau. IZʻs older brother Skippy was a founding member and lead singer of the group when IZ was still in high school, but Skippy passed away at only age 28 in 1982, (and his parents and sister also died early as IZ mentions in this video), but the other members _ John and Jerome Koko, and Moon Kauakahi, along with Bruddah IZ continued on in the very popular award-winning group. When IZ went on his own, they lost the connection to the island of "Niʻihau, but continued as the still popular group, the Mākaha Sons.John Koko passed away and Moon Kauakahi left the group, so only one original member, Jerome Koko, remains in the trio, which still performs traditional Hawaiian music today. Here is the original recording of the medley "Mehameha"/"White Sandy Beach" by the Mākaha Sons of Niʻihau which is beloved by many people from Hawaiʻi. They are known for their heavenly harmonies (especially when Bruddah IZwas with them) and the rich guitar and bass sounds are easily recognizable when they start to play Mehameha/White Sandy Beach - Mākaha Sons of Niʻihau. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3LIooukl56Vm6c

Perfectly and absolutely sang by Iam Tongi 💕💕

[@angie-tq4ew]

Every time I hear Iz sing "White Sandy Beaches", it brings me back to my childhood of beach trips with my friends, eating musubis & drinking Cokes we packed for our lunches. Now, I only occasionally have the time to do those things. It makes me reminisce with good feelings, but it also makes sad, too. RIP Braddah. You are always missed.

Listen to “In This Life” on Iz’s Album titled “In Dis Life.” BEaUtiful song…SPIRITual journey into Gratefulness…into AloHA: “HA” THE BREATH of GoOD, THE BREATH of Life…HIS Divine LOVE.” You are AloHA, my friend. Continue to Breathe & BE AloHA…the Essence of HAWAIIaness. Also, MaHAlo for following Iam Tongi…& taking the time to discover the music of Hawaii & sharing it to the world. You & Iam, in each your way, are an instrument of AloHA during this time in history where there are so much “stuff” going on throughout the world. You both can make a difference in the world to make it better…to keep alive 🎵It’s a Wonderful World🎵…even if it takes one heart at a time, it’s all GoOD. Hana Hou Louie Armstrong; Hana Hou Bruddah Iz; Hana Hou Iam Tongi, Hana Hou “The World Upside Right.” Blessed BE, my friend. More Power to you. Sending you Peace & Maui AloHA🌺🌈
