The year was 1996 and IZ had gone solo, but the stage was set for an unforgettable, emotional reunion in Hawaiian music history. The crowd rose to their feet – standing for the entire song – and did indeed shed some tears at the beautiful performance.
“It’s a memory you never never forget,” said Moon Kauakahi, a member of the Makaha Sons of Niihau. “Everybody still talks about that. I mean everyone.”

I worked in Waikiki in the mid 80's, when IZ would walk through the International Market Place on his way to work at the Hafbrau, a German restaurant under Farrells Ice Cream shop. Each time I saw him walk by I greeted him with a big smile, thinking how wonderful to have the real thing come to Waikiki, and thought, do these people around here realize what an honor it is to be in his presence. One day when I wasn't busy he stopped to talk (joke and laugh) with me and we became friends. We recognized each other as having Jesus in our hearts. One day on my break I went to see him at his work place. We chatted with the bar keep and then it was time for IZ to start his 1st set. As soon as he began to sing my jaw dropped! OH MY GOD! I looked at the bar keep and he said YEAH! The Magnificent Beautiful Voice of a God! IZ brought a lot of JOY to the people who had the pleasure of hearing him sing. That voice opened the hearts of the tourists and That is very healing. If only I could hear him sing one more time, like when he was in his prime. Not long after that he became famous. Well, he was already famous in Las Vegas. Lots of Hawaiians live there. Then his fame grew here in Hawaii and flourished around the country and parts of the world. He was a very pricipled person and a good influence for the people in his life.

The way they hugged him at the end of that song... it's like they knew he had very little time left.

Had the honor of meeting him a few times from 92-93. I was a courier during that time and used to deliver parcels to his address. He was a very humble person and we had a few nice conversations. He is strongly missed by all.

You know if your band members have trouble holding back tears, you are truly witnessing something that will never happen again

What an absolute genuine human being! So faithful to his culture and trying to send a message to the young ones to stop what they are are doing and believe in themselves and their culture. To continue what their ancestors lived and believed. Hawaii, please do not lose your heritage, thoughts and beliefs. This is so important! I am not Hawaiian but to see these strong beliefs disappear, is very concerning to me and heart breaking, if it were to die. Stand strong Hawaii and live your beliefs and culture!

I can't watch this without crying. It's like watching a living funeral as a dying man gives a shout out to the world he is leaving behind. He was such a beautiful soul who suffered so much but choose to give as much of himself as he could one last time.

God knew he had to give Braddah IZ a big body to be able to hold that big heart he had. ❤️

His voice is pure like softly rolling ocean waves and as distinct as the clouds above them

In 1988 late Israel kamakawiwo'ole called sound studio at 3am and asked if he could come record, because he had an idea. He was so polite the sound studio said yes even though it was too late. 15 minutes later he showed up, sang and played his ukulele and recorded " Over the rainbow "in just one take.
