Thank you for this as an islander we really appreciate you keeping Bradda IZ memory alive. Much love!! Be blessed!!
We lost an angel when we lost IZ.
he was a gift to the world
Iz lives
Iz's version gets me every time. My wife and I were stationed at Pearl Harbor for over 5 years and she loved this song. My Jennifer passed away almost 6 years ago to the day. My sister in law picked a nice rotation of appropriate songs at Jennifer's funeral to play before the service. She picked songs she thought embodied Jen. I didn't know what she picked but as I was walking around the various flower arrangements, I heard that ukulele play and absolutely lost it. This is a beautiful song by a beautiful soul and will always make me think of my beautiful wife. Thank you Beth.
we played this song at my son's funeral. it makes me cry every time
@@adamskeans2515 I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a feeling that many of us have the same unfortunate bond.
@@fireeatersexpress8475 he was a special needs child, nonverbal, but his greatest joy was when I played songs for him on UA-cam, this was his favorite song.
Literally one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Brings tears to my eyes every time. A lovely song elevated by a beautiful voice.
Our world without IZ is scary but his light shines and gives us hope
I have seen too many grown people tear up just listening to this man to not understand that he was special.
"Somewhere over the rainbow" is such a beautiful song by itself....but this version...this version is beyond great. It's gold.
Bradda IZ was a great person and singer. I live on Oahu but never got to meet him but at least 4 friends of mine
Met him . Every single one said he was so down to earth and positive. One friend said it was like talking to a friend .
In Hawaii IZ is still missed.
I can't hear this without crying. Rest in Peace Iz... you left the world with a wonderful gift
Beth wears her compassion on her face so warmly....
I can only think of one explanation for why so many people tear up when they hear Iz' voice.
He sang directly from the heart.
When you listen, it takes you to your own heart.
It's a soft, emotional place.
Where we're all one.
This was the favorite song of my special needs son, we played it at his funeral, it makes me cry every time
Iz will always be remembered as a very special human being.
Very much missed around the globe.
sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night knowing there is something we just have to do. He actually did it. Thank you.
This song with the vocals of IZ make you feel young and free from the troubled world we live in, for a moment all is right
This version always makes me cry!! It's not only beautiful but it was one of my uncles favorites. I remember listening to it with him numerous times when he was alive and now I can't help but shed tears each and every time I listen to it. Rest in paradise both Israel and my uncle Tony 9/18 Thank you Tio Tony for showing me how to appreciate great music and our awesome music sessions ❤ I miss you so much.
Whenever I listen to this one, I think of my grandmother. And I can't help but cry.
His version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World can take me from mad to normal it’s just that calming.
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time.
IZ LIVES
Gone but never forgotten
We were only meant for his excellence for a short time but a long memory
IZ has such an angelic voice. Thank you for reacting to such a beautiful song sung by a beautiful soul.
This song is what I listen to when I need to smile with a good cry.
I am a recording engineer, and the lore of this recording is that it was recorded on a 2-channel DAT machine. One track for Uke and one track for Izzy. I don't think any fancy mics were used. The lesson being performance ALWAYS trumps gear. This recording is P E R F E C T even though no $20K mics and preamps were used on it.
I really enjoyed your explanations of his voice and of course the backstory of his life. IZ rendition will always be my favorite .
This song ALWAYS makes me teary eyed. It's SO beautiful! Thanks for listening to it.
A Gentle Soul GONE TOO SOON.
Some voices just make your heart love...and your soul? aw...we found it again. Honestly, Beth, I love your vocal explanations...but, on this one...I don't care...I just savor his vocal beauty. Aloha, IZ...❤💔
Iz immediately made heaven's symphonic choir
Great music great voice.
Thank u brother IZ❤❤
My mother who passed away on Christmas Day 2014 from Metastatic Colon Cancer at 83 loved this song, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World"! The song is featured at the end of the 2004 movie "50 First Dates" starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore! 😊
This is such a beautiful song, RIP IZ
I played this at my darling wife’s funeral as we all left the crem. I still find this song brings tears to my eyes after 6 years…
Several years ago I was sitting with 3 of my young grandchildren listening to music they liked. They requested a cartoon song that reminded me of this song from Iz. The next song I played was this very video. I did not know that Israel had died...when the funeral came up on the video I started crying. They never asked why. To this day (literally this day watching your video) tears come when the funeral is shown. What a beautiful song, voice, and person. Aloha, mahalo Iz!
This version always makes me emotional. I think its a combination of the message of the song, and knowing how loved he was by the people in his community.
I found this song shortly before the birth of my first child, and it has been her lullaby ever since. IZ’s warmth and love will always live on with those willing to share it.
It makes me cry to Beth.
Oh, Beth.. the expressions on your face exemplify pretty much everyone's feelings about Isreal. You, like I probably wish I'd known him in some capacity. He was a lovely human being.
I cry every damn time but I always feel better afterward. Iz heals the soul
I would like to think that "somewhere over the rainbow" Israel IZ, Eva Cassidy and Judy Garland are harmonizing together on this song. IZ's version is so cheering and uplifting.
I have listened to this and IZ' other works so many times. Such a beautiful voice and gone far too soon.
Thank you Beth for sharing your wonderfiul insight once again into the mysteries of the human voice and RIP Izzy - he was a true force of nature.
I live in Hawaii and have heard this song many, many times. It still brings tears to my eyes. Rest well Bruddah Iz.
I really like his version of this song where he has it as a medley of Somewhere Over The Rainbow and then goes into What A Wonderful World and then back into Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Fantastic performance.
I got married in Hawaii, and this was my wedding song. I LOVE this song…such a special place in my heart. Thanks for reviewing this!!
I may have commented on this review previously, but let me first say I always appreciate your thoughtful reviews, Beth. In this review, your facial expressions alone tell us what a touching and extraordinarily touching and timeless this recording is. Thank you.
I first heard this driving to visit a friend in the mid/late 90s. One of those "Sunday morning easy listening" shows on classic rock stations. And from that moment, this has been the only version of the song for me.
I was determined not to cry. Stand stoic. But then, I started reading all the comments and now my eyes are filled with tears 😢 'By Iz, and thankyou.❤
This song, just amazing. And I am one of those that always thinks of the ER episode. It was also a big hit in Germany 15 years ago.
Very rare that someone outside HI knows as much as you do. Kudos to you for doing your homework. An excellent review.
I appreciate that!
One of the sweetest recordings ever. Still gives me chills after all these years.
The song really came to public attention when it was featured in Sean Connery’s 2000 film, “Finding Forrester”.
A beautiful man. Thank you for doing this review.
I've been waiting for you to react to this. I knew that it would make you simultaneously happy and sad (all the feels). I'm so glad you are helping to celebrate Iz!
Beautiful he has a lovely delivery.
I first heard this song at the ending of the movie "Fnding Forrster." The movie stars such greats as Sean Connery, Rob Brown, Busta Rhymes, and Matt Damon. Ever since then, I seem to hear the song everywhere. It's a beautiful ending to the movie, as this song is playing. As an aside, if you've never seen the movie "Finding Forrester" I highly recommended. It's a great, underrated movie!
I remember growing up on Oahu and IZ would do school shows when his health was better. He had a soul and heart that was bigger than he was.
Prior to his solo career, he performed with the Makaha Sons. They have some beautiful songs as well. You might be interested in Rusty Old Steampipes, Waimanalo Blues or my favorite medley Kumulipo / Pua Ana Ka Makani.
Thank you for this one! Much appreciated.
I never liked this song, until I heard IZ sing it. He also does an amazing cover of "What A Wonderful World".
Art Bell used to play this sometimes during his outro breaks years ago
best version of all times. made him immortal!
Always brings tears. Dad was stationed there. I grew up surfing. IZ is so close to ocean folks hearts. His voice is water for the soul, just washing over you and healing the hurt.
G'day Beth,
This version while being really simple is so Beautiful & sooooo emotional giving hope for better things,
along with Kermit singing Rainbow Connection no matter how bad things seem these songs just make the world a better place 👨🏽🐸🥰
Gracias por reaccionar a esta bella canción y la maravillosa interpretación de Israel.
I first heard this song played during an episode of Aerial America on the Smithsonian Channel when they focused on the state of Hawaii.
Absolutely fantastic. 🤙
I love this version so much. I also love a cover of this version that was featured in the Scrubs TV series finale by The Blanks, aka Ted's in- show acapella group; makes me tear up every time
This song is... the very beautifull❤
Oh Dear...I am so happy that you found Bruddah Iz. He is a treasure to the Hawaiian people, and to those like me, who have Hawaiian roots. That Man/Voice touches Souls.
BTW...The proper pronunciation of King Kamehameha is King Kuh-May-Uh May-Uh. Just sharing...Nothing more. Mahalo nui loa, and Aloha! Malama Pono Dear Wahine. 🤙😎😄
Cant end this one without a drop in the eyes, especially if watching the video
You should check him out singing White Sandy Beach. So simple, tender and wholesome.
Always loved this version. I think the first time i heard it was on an episode of ER, when Dr. Green went to Hawai'i to die.
Also have to recommend his version of the timeless classic, "What a Wonderful World".
Love the reaction. "Kaleohano" is one of my favorites sung by Bradda IZ, you have to check it out. I'll check out your album right now.
That was lovely.
so wonderful
I just don't know what it is about this song that brings about so much emotion. Of course it's a beautiful rendition and Iz's voice is just pure silk, but I am always left with a lump in my throat and tears welling up thinking about my life and what could have been.
There are three versions of this song that matter the most to me:
The Original
This
Eva Cassidy
All flawless and epic performances.
IZ did his in one take and Eva did her live.
Beautiful ❤️✌🏽
Beautiful……..
Muito emocionante sua reação a essa lendária canção. Abraços do Brasil.
One of the most beautiful voices ever to exist. R.I.P. IZ
Love Beth Roars!!!
Love his version. So beautiful. Brought the song into a new place. My wife and I play this often such a beautiful voice. Sad he’s no longer with us. 🎸🎸
This was recorded in one and only one take after IZ called the studio owner in the middle of the night and said that he had a song he needed to record "right now." I'm sure glad that guy didn't tell him to wait until morning.
im Ready once again for the tears
This is my favourite version of this song 🌈❤️
I believe IZ was an angel sent down from heaven to be with us for a while.He was a gentle soul for sure.What a voice!
Oh Drew....I will always love you :)
This song is full of emotions. Just a few seconds and I got tears in my eyes. Thanks Beth for the reaction
Excellent choice Beth.
Have known this song all my life, but this is without doubt the absolute best version. The first time I heard it I just fell in love with ths amazing voice❤
2011, I walked my daughter down the isle (an avenue of palms) on Rarotonga to this song. At the time the clip you played Beth had 14mil views. I see now it has over 1 4b views.
IZ was such a gift from heaven, only leant to us for a short time, though his legacy will last for all time...
So glad you found him..
Very delicate and touching. I’ll bet he knew he had a great rendition up his sleeve. The funeral footage is the part that’s hard for me to watch.
Such a beautiful rendition of a classic. I’ve always loved how he played with the melody and made it his own, while staying very true to the emotion of the original. And, of course, I’m a big fan of the simple arrangement.
Been awhile but am loving the new pop up video style your videos have taken on keep it up 😊
Thanks, Beth.. the "big man" was amazing... wish I had known more of his work and that he had been with us longer.. what a voice! appreciate your reaction...
You made me still crying again!: Living in Munich/ London/NYC/ Milano... We have also a little house in KAWAI- met IZ there short before He died! Thanks Beth❤Good memorys!.
You can hear this version, and Judy's version, and you know that a good song, a great song not only can support more than one great version, but demands one than one great version.
A great song measures the singer, and IZ soars in this song showing his greatness.
I am tearing up now, about great singers, gone too soon.
One of the most beautiful and peaceful songs ever!
The pictures they'd shown of Iz in the traditional Hawaiian attire kinda made him look like Maui from "Moana"
I am so happy that I learned of Brudda Iz. I wish I knew of him before his passing. Much love!
