[mssummerrose1]

[mattscards]

@mssummerrose1 He died of respiratory illness

[veganboxer]

@mssummerrose1 he probably died from him being morbidly obese.

[rchlndrams]

@veganboxer Who crapped in your cornflakes?

[SPaoline4302]

@mssummerrose1 He weighed as much as a car....

[keto6789]

@mssummerrose1 cause he was too skinny

[anchoragedan]

Does anyone know who "Gabby" is?

[mattscards]

@anchoragedan Charles Philip "Gabby" or "Pops" Pahinui (April 22, 1921 - October 13, 1980 The Hawaiian Renaissance of the '70s launched a cultural reawakening of all things Hawaiian. Gabby played an important part in the rise of this Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance. Gabby made it possible and set the stepping stones that made Iz's music possible. Remember, Iz recorded this in 1993. It really just became a number 1 song in many countries last year, although was well known.

[anchoragedan]

@mattscards Thank you for that info. I've often wondered who Iz was referring to at the beginning of that song.

[meatloaf93]

A big man but a delicate lilting voice. Beautiful to listen to

[TheAlgysh]

[Appleholic1]

@relytdaman You are so right. But although I was smiling I still couldn't stop my eyes from getting a little wet watching this.

[AguileraAlan]

This song of Mr. Israel. One of those issues that remain attached to the mind and heart for its exquisite letter. And more still stick adhesive as the voice of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. It is simply amazing, a delight to hear the voice of this great singer. This song and its message of eternal love and peace will last for many decades. Live through the music for many lifetimes israel ..... While everyone looks at us from somewhere in the rainbow.

[kullprit]

@darkmindofamaster

It's a combination of 2 songs.

And i was talking about his medley of them.

[Dorinpower]

[crusherbevdr]

Thanks for sharing this vid. Iz was awesome.

[HamPieProductions]

anyone know how to play this on the banjo or what chords to use?



[jakerumbaugh15]

i would start by cutting off his lips and tong so he can never sing again then use a rusty fishing knife to castrate him then i would surgically attach an Asian to his anus

[melissaverylove1]

some of my friends said that he is ugly and fat. then i slapped them...

[stockfischlorenz]

@melissaverylove1 why? it's true, although in no way related to his great music...
