Some of you have never heard of IZ but one day i stumbled upon his music..i dont love this song, I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT..that is much more. He died wayyy before i realized his music at the age of 38..wikipedia tell me more > Israel Iz Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (Hawaiian pronunciation: [kəˌmɐkəˌvivoˈʔole]) translation: The Fearless Eyed; May 20, 1959 – June 26, 1997), also called Bruddah Iz (Brother Iz), was a Hawaiian musician, entertainer, and sovereignty activist. His voice became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993. His medley of Somewhere over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World was subsequently featured in several films, television programs, and television commercials. Through his skillful ukulele playing and incorporation of other genres (such as jazz and reggae), Kamakawiwoʻole remains a very strong influence on Hawaiian music. Long live Brudha Iz.
