This slide show of "White Sandy Beach" was created in honor of Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo`ole's 50th Birthday on May 20th 1959.

It includes never before seen family photos from IZ's wife Marlene. We posted 2 versions to IZ's Facebook Fan Page and let his fans decide between "Hawaii '78" and "White Sandy Beach", after 3 days of voting his fans chose "White Sandy Beach" This is IZ's label Mountain Apple Company's and his Fans Birthday gift to him. Happy Birthday IZ, you are truly loved and missed.

  • @cr1571uidl9730 Doesn't matter. His size is irrelevant. He made beautiful music and the discussion should be about that. Does it make you feel better about yourself to point out what you precieve as other people "short-commings?" Have some respect, man, he is passed.

  • All I saw was a giant heart covered in skin

  • I was stationed in Hawaii in the late 70's. Unfortunately I did not meet or even know about IZ. He is truly amazing. I can listen to his music over and over and feel so peaceful. My wife and I just went to Hawaii a few months ago and I made a video of some of the pics we took while we were over there. I put (In this Life) another song from IZ with the video and it came out amazing. His music is just perfect for a video of Hawaii. RIP You were truly a great performer.

  • ppl can hush upp.. he was a happy man! alot of ppl are so based on hollywood media of what we shud look like etc, and thats why this world is the way it is and so many heartbroken ppl and divorced couples.. this is what true happiness is! not what "hollywood" puts out for us.. rest his precious soul.. i love u bruddah iz..

  • He plays such beautiful music! Where was I when I needed to hear such beautiful melodies! He peacefully rests in his home now :)

  • he must have had a lot of ashes

  • @MrPeguin666 ...unfortunately ignorance rears its ugly head...there is absolutely nothing gross about this...speaking from the experience of more than 20 years on the ocean as an offshore commercial fisherman...you'd be surprised what you swim with in the ocean, and this by far is anything but an awesome tribute to a wonderful human being!

  • @MrPeguin666 it is not so gross for them because they loved him

  • @horiakill1 did I sound like i was insulting anyone? I just think it's gross to swim in water with human remains in it

  • @MrPeguin666 no one fking care the ashes were love

  • who else thimks it's gross that they poured his ashes into the water while people were swimming?
