This song, recorded by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, is very beautiful and soothing. Known in Hawaii as “IZ” or “Brother IZ”.
He went to the music studio at 3am and recorded this song in one take. Remarkable.
Sadly, he died too young because of his high weight.
This performance has been viewed on YouTube over 1.5 billion times! A testament to this gentle giant who poured himself into his music.
