Hey Guys and Gals,


On my last trip to Hawaii I heard this song they played on the radio all the time and I really liked it. I talked with some locals and they told me the story of a local that sang it and a little story behind it. I just looked on you tube and seen this of the song. I really think this is just so damn beautiful. I love this damn song and thought I must share to those that have not heard it.

A fantastic medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "What A Wonderful World". It's always a pleasure to hear somebody cover a song and "make it their own". Iz did a great job, and I wish I'd heard of him while he was still alive.
Having now researched him, what a tragic way to die. He weighed over 700 pounds when he died of respiratory problems due to his weight. That isn't something somebody does to themselves. That's an illness like any other illness.
A great talent found out too late.
Thanks for bringing him to my attention Nothing.
