Rest in peace IZ!

I never tire of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, one of the best songs ever.
-
My mom literally played “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” during her wedding! Rest in Peace IZ, you are the legend!

My BFF told her nephew that is she was ever in the hospital to play this beautiful song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", to her. She went into the hospital with a stroke on Nov 8, 2019 and he kept his vow to her and played this song for her. She passed on Nov 13, 2019. RIP, friend - I just know we will see each other again one day. I miss you so very much. 💔😢

Somewhere Over the Rainbow was first recorded by Judy Garland in 1939 for "The Wizard of Oz",and What a Wonderful World was was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released in 1967. These two songs make up the beautiful mash-up that Israel recorded.

I love his singing. Just blew me away when I first listened to him. He has a good aura about him. I would have loved to have known him.

RIP IZ. The fact that his music was discovered after his death was a gift to all of us.

Pure, gentle music. He brings a smile to my face periodically when weather reminds me of rainbows, then I feel so sad he's not here singing.
-
Iz inspired me to pick up the ukulele 10 years ago. It's been my constant companion ever since. ♥️🌸

My favorite Iz song is The White Sandy Beach! My wife and I got to spend some time at Waikiki. I lost her to cancer 2 and a half years ago! I also love Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
