  • A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a "slut", no one knows she was raped at age 14. People call another guy "fat", no one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight. People call an old man "ugly", no one knows he experienced a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war.

    Nuff said.

  • Israel "Bruddah IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole was born on May 20, 1959, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Israel began playing music at age 11, and released his first solo album, Ka'ano'i in 1990. He died in 1997 at age 38 of respiratory problems brought on by his morbid obesity. Despite his short life, his gentle ukulele playing and hauntingly beautiful voice have already made him a musical legend.

  • @MrAnimelover6000 Aloha is in your heart

  • Can someone tell me what disease he had and how did he pass away; such a beautiful soul ! Love his music and his message,

    I am sure he does entertain the angels with his lovely voice R.I.P. IZ we will always love you.

  • 19 people are idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Israel said ... "WAKE UP !!!"

    Amazing, powerful thoughts- Truth for all around the World !!!

    We have a choice ... Choose ONE LOVE, PEACE & RESPECT - Everything else is a facade meant to tear us apart, bring us down and destroy our spirit of love from which everything good and beautiful grows. RIP Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

  • i fully dont even no this man i stumbled across him while i was looking at kolohe kai

    he brought me to tears... very big very personal heart one who is trying to help and find away to get others to help

  • IZ LIves.

  • I went to Hawaii last year, Maui, and when I was there I wanted to learn a bit about their culture...but the main Hawaiians I saw were the ones coming up to us at IAO park asking if we wanted to buy drugs...thats sad because its what IZ was trying to discourage cus he knew what it was doing to his people.

  • true angel on earth for a short time . can't get enough of his music . live on my friend .

  • 17 people are still asleep

  • the 16 people hoo dislike this video problebly where wasted by the drogs if you agree thumb up:P

  • RIP :(

  • I have never been to Hawaii and now am not sure if I ever want to go and be another "disturber of the peace". I have to honor what this man stood for and all his culture. Truly a blessed wonderful people. Sad that the trueblooded Hawaiian heritage is being thinned by intruders whom may have good intentions but because of the sheer numbers are threatening their way of life. Godspeed to you IZ and all of your heritage. May your people bless this earth for all eternity!!

  • The message is well spoken out! This message makes me cry if I haven't seen this guy in real life but hearing him singing. I can feel his spirit thru his lyrics..So strong and so inspiring. God, why did you took him so early?? Even you said, he has done sending pure and inspiring message throughout the hawaii but for me it ain't enough...Please bring him back or replace him with somebody will do actually like him GOD! Love you IZ...even I haven't seen in real life! You're songs inspired me.

  • @kueencee

    I have never been to Hawaii but now Im not sure if I ever want to go and be another "disturber of the peace" that the Hawaiian people are losing. I have to respect this man, his heritage, & for what he has done in his messages to never forget whom they truly are... a majestic culture who needs some space to hang on before the real true bloods are all but gone. Godspeed IZ and to all the true Hawaiian people. May this earth be graced by your presence till the end of time.

  • aww. it's so sad that he had that oxygen hooked up in his nose. :( You're so wonderful IZ!! even though your not here today, you'll always be in my mind, dreams, and sight when i hear your voice and watch your fantastic videos!!! God Bless Him!!! <3

  • IZ has just made me want to marry a Hawaiian...

    IZ you’re the man.

    On behalf of my family

    With love from Scotland. Stephanie, Amie, Lauren, Dad.

  • belated happy birthday IZ from the Philippines !

  • RIP from Georgia Tbilisi :)))

  • Happy B-Day!

  • AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

  • Tu cantar del cielo IZ, hijo de la Tierra, nos evoca el cantar ancestral, el cantar del alma...

    En el Desierto de Atacama también brotan tus hermosas melodías y profundo sentir.

    Te saludo hermano y agradezco tu generoso existir, sabiendo que en alguna parte del Infinito, allá donde nace el Arco Iris tu espíritu seguirá siempre presente.

    DB

  • Sorry was GOD BLESS us all

  • Listen to some wisdom. We may not want to hear it, and the Keiki's do NOT want to hear it. But there's truth to Brada Israel's words.

    Love each other. You don't sell crystal to someone you love. You don't beat someone you love. You don't rob someone you love.

  • to je hudba jak ma byt kam se hrabou dnesni kapely

  • i love this guy's music.....i'm so glad my dad showed this video to me <3 <3 i hope to see him in heaven and hear him play

  • It is hard to watch a man who is on oxygen and dying a slow and uncomfortable death. No intervention with a gastric bypass or someone to work closely with him.

    It is so sad to lose this talent nearly 14 years ago.

  • Oh God, why You took Him so early... ;(

  • @Stanislaw93 GOD took him early.. cz maybe IZ already said/did what he has to..and... maybe IZ is too pure for EARTH..

  • i never met you but will never forget you, thanks for the music

  • Micronesian Pride - Islander Pride ! Everyone misses Iz :(

  • ALLMOST THE LAST CONCERT

  • @okoskutya35 You're correct. This video is from the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards in May 1996. IZ's last concert was on Oct. 19, 1996, at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael, Calif.

  • It's only temporary...

  • Sarai sempre nei nostri cuori "GIGANTE BUONO" sei grande un bacio....................

  • he was a very wise man :)

  • 12 people can jump off a cliff...

  • @SUPERNINJASPONGEBOB Twelve out of 757,097 and counting ... I believe they are very much in the minority -- a rock where others have a heart!

    what an absolutely stunning, touching, moving voice and persona! Sadly missed - and what a legacy he left us! RIP IZ ... and thanks for the beauty you left us!

  • almost at 1k likes, keep liking!

  • iZ KING OF KING Iz

  • Aloha! Ke Akua pu a hui hou....

  • OMG!!!JUST TODAY I FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS THE SINGER WHO IS USED TO SING SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW.REST IN PEACE.FERNANDO FROM BRAZIL.

  • comment avoir les paroles en français

  • That speech made me cry. Amen. IZ, you will NEVER be forgotten. People all around the world can change things for the better if they took responsibility. When the power of love overcomes the love of power, only then will the world know true peace. I do believe that was the best advice someone can give. Cultures suffer all around the world because no one takes responsibility seriously. It can be changed. Rest in Peace Big Fella.

  • @whatkill Your not alone!! Thumbs up for your comment!!!

    IZ FOREVER! <3

  • Amen...the best advise...

  • It makes me cry. Thank you IZ, you will never be forgotten. Warm greetings to Hawaii from Germany.

  • ich liebe TZ ich höre seine Musik seit ca. 3 Jahren ich fand ihn durch zufall auf Joutube seit dem begeistert er mich.

  • Gibt es viel Anhänger der IZ in deutchland?

  • @Mewan93 tja, auf MTV oder Viva wirst Du ihn nicht gesehen haben. Es sind sehr viele Anhänger die aber alle aus dem Musikbereich der Hawaiszene kommen. Man kann nicht alle Artisten/ Sänger/Interpreten dieser Erde kennen.

  • Leider gibt es keine vergabe von Sternen mehr, soviele Sterne gibt es nicht wie ich geben würde. Symbolisch: 5 * * * * *

  • @Einstien1879 He already is

  • sehr ergreifend !!! wenn es menschen gibt, die das nicht zu tränen rührt, die haben wohl dann kein gefühl in sich .......
