This is an old friend of mine who passed away June 26, 1997.
One of the nicest and most humble men you could ever know or meet.
Many people know him as "IZ" but his name on stage is: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
I have been working for him and his cofounding band "The Makaha Sons" once known as
"The Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau" for years. I have created and Admin their YouTube channel, video edit and a bunch more.
I am also the Admin for his Facebook group known as "Israel Ka'ano'i Kamakawiwo'ole ~ The Man The Appreciation"
You may have heard his cover song of "Somewhere over the rainbow" his version has been used in commercials, films and television programs, including, 50 First Dates, Charmed, Cold Case, ER, Finding Forrester, Horizon, Life on Mars, 9, Meet Joe Black, Scrubs, Snakes on a Plane, Son of the Mask, and the television series South Pacific.
So I am trying to emulate this effect but in several other designs I am working on for his daughter, our new FB page and several video edits I am in the middle of.
Mahalo nui loa Pixey, I am going to give it a test drive now.
I will provide feedback when I am able.
Aloha!
