The last part of this video is the video of his funeral, when they released his ashes into the sea. in Hawaii it's traditionnaly a celebration, with flower and everything

The story is that he recorded this in a Honolulu studio one night in 1988 at 3:00 a.m., in one take, after convincing the studio owner that he could come in and record. It was released on his 1993 album, but the song wasn't noticed that much until 1999, two years after his death. Since then it was very successful, charting around the world. The video has over one billion views, and in 2021 the recording was added to National Recording Registry for preservation in the Library of Congress.

U look to be about my age, & this was all over american tv in commercials in the late 90's/early 2000's, & back then, pre-internet, u couldnt just google who an artist featured in commercials & stuff were...then, later, from what i understand the song was featured in a few movies, & it got this little cult follwing. But, i think the production was to sparse to be on commercial radio, so i never knew who this was for a long, long time...but, yeah, that intro "oooohh, oooh, oooh", its just haunting, & i loved it 25 years ago, before i knew who or what it was (in the tv ads i never knew it was the wizard of oz song)....anyway, now, a billion views later & IZ is a legend....anyway, great reaction, man...liked & subbed:)
