really beautiful song

Posted over 3 years ago

Artist:

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Album:

Music From The Motion Picture Fred Claus
Track:

Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World

I don't know what to say about this song. It's gorgeous in its simplicity.Israel K. This was a top 40 hit when it came out. Aside from Don Ho, this is the most recognizable Hawaiian artist there is. If you don't have this song in your library then you really otta get it. Such sweet vocals. Simple musical accompaniment. Great song. If I'm ever in a funky mood, this fixes it. Hard to be pissed off when you hear this.

wassonii says IZ brought a more popular styling to hawaiian classics as well. Such a talent, he will be missed.

SWozniak says It was played at the end of Finding Forrester. I think that's when it got really popular. I really need to track down an album of his.
