Somewhere over the rainbow

Now I'm sure everyone on here is familiar with this guy but I'd never heard of him till yesterday! Id heard this song played in TV ads and such but never knew who was singing it. Then I heard about this big hawaiian guy called Israel IZ and I went on youtube.
The song may be cheesy to some but I love it! And then I discovered he died in the 90s quite young. Sad really..

Bruddah Iz! Yes, another sad story of a true talent lost young. :shaka:

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole: He is the reason why I picked up the uke in the first place, over a decade ago. I bet for many here, it was the same.
