Review by Cyndi Bartlett

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's album Somewhere Over The Rainbow is a masterpiece that showcases the singer's unique voice and exceptional musical talent. The album features a collection of classic Hawaiian songs, as well as covers of popular hits such as "What a Wonderful World" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

The album's standout track is undoubtedly Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," which has become an iconic version of the song. His soulful and emotional performance of the classic tune is a testament to his incredible vocal range and his ability to infuse his music with deep feeling.

Throughout the album, Kamakawiwo'ole's voice is accompanied by beautiful instrumentation that includes ukulele, guitar, and percussion. The arrangements are simple yet elegant, allowing Kamakawiwo'ole's voice to shine through and capture the listener's attention.

Born 20th of May 1959, full-blooded Hawaiian born artist Israel released several CD's and got his break in the U.S. when a Radio DJ in California played his version of the Judy Garland written song 'Somewhere over the rainbow' from his 'Facing Future' album, a simple song with his voice and a Ukulele in a traditional Hawaiian performance. Israel or 'Iz' is the most popular and legendary artist that came from Hawaii and never seem to be forgotten by the citizens. He died 26th of June 1997 of heart failure due to his massive body weight of over 900 pounds (400 Kilos). Today, 'Somewhere over the rainbow' is widely used in commercials and movies and is still popular over 10 years after since that rainy day in California where people heard it on the radio for the first time. And the album 'Facing Future' has sold over 1 million on worldwide basis. 2014: Winner of a Nā Hōkū Hanohano Lifetime Achievement Award under the auspices of the Hawaiʻi Academy of Recording Arts.
