The moment his voice struck in my ears, I have never regret hearing it over and over again.

As my father took his last breath on this earth yesterday, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" sung by Mr. Kamakawiwo'ole came on the radio. What a beautiful way to remember my father.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MOVED BY ANYONE'S MUSIC THE WAY HIS VOICE TOUCH ME, I HAD NEVER HEARD HIM BEFORE THIS WEEK, AND FEEL SO BLESSED FOR HAVING FOUND HIM.

Iz has ben gone for 21 years...but his music and voice has endured for all that time and only grows stronger, His is the voice of angels, not to be forgotten, May he and John Koko rest in peace, their music will last forever.

Hawai is not a Place. Hawai is more the arising Understanding that we are all One. That Home is everywhere. I see Bruddah IZ in everybody of you! Yet He is certainly a huge Superman from Hawai.

what a great man love your music when I got to kauai I heard your music and fell in love great job rest on peace my friend

every song is a gift! strong powerful voice filled with compassion and love.

my brudda, I miss you everydasy

I just got this from my grade school friend ,thank you Mary for the introduction of such great talent and not to mention a real man spreading the good news for others to know Jesus I love the singing may he rest in peace and in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus

LOVE LOVE LOVE HIS MUSIC AND LOVE LISTENING TO HIS VOICE. YOU ARE MISSED IZ. RIP. I ALSO LOVE SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW.

We'll love that man, he is missed .

Brother IZ...forever in my heart...never forgotten ...I miss your smile !

My gosh Bruddah Iz, Thee Formidable Israel Kamakawiwoole, whose songs transcended generations. The aloha runs deep. I left Hawaii in 1999 for the 1st time in my life but couldn't listen to Bruddah Iz music because it would have made it sooo hard for me to be away from home and do what I had to do. It took courage a few years later to finally allow Bruddah Iz singing to bring me back to my roots. How He fills you with pain & love & blessings all at the same time. I will miss you forever, as I miss home forever. I can go back home but it is not the home I left......You & then, I will cherish forever....

I love this song. Tears come to my eyes every time I hear it.

Gänsehaut Pur,,,,Respekt...Großartiger Sänger ..Er bleibt unvergessen..

I'm from Detroit, and I appreciate this beautiful soothing music. Thank You all for sharing such a beautiful spirit thru a precious voice and life...Trully an Angel he is still and forever, he has just gone to the highest place to watch over all impacted by his grace.

For me this is the greatest music ever this wonderful singer made

Voice of an angel ,only discovered this great man a few weeks ago ,makes you realise music and love is so powererful

Brings back memories of hikes under the blazing sun, sweat pouring from our faces and soaking through our clothes alternating our singing whatever happy songs we could remember, john denver, verses of Alice's Restaurant..... Hope the love is still flowing to your family from the music, IZ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Miss you Bruddah IZ...May your memory live forever in all who's hearts are open to purity & beauty

This man is amazing and the songs.My heart mellts into love and humility

I am always writing about iZ and I felt the deepest sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart when I got to know that we lost this beautiful man who was just perfect in every single way. I am sure, that if I was close to him, I would have fight to save him from the ones who killed him. But I do also understand that not matter what, when the time comes, we have to leave, and go were all souls go when our missions in life has been completed and he did completed his missions in this life. He then, went to the place from which he will come back to live and again he will teach us even more than he did this time. Now, I think that when we cry for him, we also cry for ourselves, because we need people like IZ in this cold and suffering world, to not loose ouselves in the misery and desperation that it is growing in this world nowadays. I have been looking for another one of this exceptional kind of man, without success. If someone here knows a man that it is like him, please let me know, I will be happy to know him and to love him as much as I love IZ!

I certainly do have a new favorite song in this I been sharing it with everyone!! It certainly has deep meaning to me I love his humor as well; he certainly had a beautiful soul! His singing enriches the lives of those who listen. To have actually known him for those who did they knew the true meaning of treasures. His spirit lives on in each and everyone he loved and knew

Aww that joke though got me LOLing, I just love his voice and his laugh! I have been listening to him for past few days! Miss you IZ

Yes, I can relate to this song, so beautifully done. Thank you IZ. I miss you.

When IZ was on the movie Shallow Hal his music melted my heart. When I saw the video of his memorial when his ashes were returned to the sea. I cried like a baby. Such a loss of a beautiful heart and sole

O mundo ganhou,nós ganhamos, Como foi bom enquanto durou, mas,como perdemos com sua "IDA", mas, nos vangloriamos de sua semente deixada a nós. Lindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Da quando ti ho conosciuto ti ho amato: Iz you are in my heart, forever. I love you, my fat angel boy...
