I saw this today on Amazon Daily's Blog and just had to repeat it here at the happyluau. You'll be familiar with the song, an Adaptation of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". You've heard it on movies, television shows, commercials, and more. You may not know that it is performed by Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole. Enjoy a five minute break with this tribute to IZ and the beautiful music and images!

I have seen this tribute video before. What a gentle, sweet energy you can feel, even just from seeing him over the internet, O!
The American Idol contestant who sang a portion of Izzy's arrangement of Over the Rainbow last night would have made Iz proud: he did a very sweet, simple rendition which was a great tribute of his own.
Yes, I agree Rick.
I love the simple people here in this video too, faces filled with joy, and the Hawaiians. There is something about Native Hawaiians as a people that melts my heart.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Rick.
Have a wonderful Wednesday,

He is just a wonderful guy.. and this video should become more popular, now that Jason Castro did it on American Idol last night.
