The Dean Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Izzy was awesome. But don't go to Hawaii to see him. He has passed on.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I'm moving to Hawaii......F-it. That is all. Was the man. Iz died in 1997 unfortunately, but he's to blame...morbid obesity and drug addiction are bad enough on their own, much less mixing the two.
Stl Bills Posted August 4, 2010 Author Posted August 4, 2010 Sorry meant to say was the man, I figured he was dead since they spread his ashes at the end of the video . Anyway, don't know how I'd never heard of him, awesome voice.
DrDawkinstein Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 should change thread title to "this guy Iz the man" my favorite rendition of the song. every time i listen to it, i end up tearing up. Facing Future is a great album, highly recommend it. this is my favorite Iz song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6CqnGwU8Ag

Anyway, don't know how I'd never heard of him, awesome voice. I don't know how you never heard of him neither. That version has been in pantload of movies and TV shows.
WWVaBeach Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Iz waz the man! I have that song on my ipod. Every Friday night the Hilton Hawaiian Village has a fireworks show and that's the song that's played throughout the show.
BillsFanInTexas Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 On my honeymoon in Maui almost 7 years ago, heard a bunch of IZ and other "Jawaiian" music (as they called it). Kept hearing this song while driving around Maui... if the acoustic version doesn't work...here's the record version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grSK_ByKTlQ
