to all concerned parties ... this is not a dupe as i have researched this extensively tonight ... and this is the ONLY video on the sift that actually has israel kamakawiwo'ole playing his ukulele while signing his song!!! this is his memorial video and you see his ashes being sent off into the sea at the end.

fav song!!!!

It's nice, because the chords are pretty simple.

The memorial at the end is touching. He was obviously well loved.

my love of this song grew from a cereal commercial to 'meet joe black' to finally putting it on my mix cd for work!

i'm glad you all enjoyed it!

I saw this a few weeks ago after seeing the other two sifts w/ the song. Since I had never heard of the man, I was curious so I googled him. I came across "the story" (if it's true) about the night this song was recorded.

Kamakawiwo'ole sort of kept his manager on "stand-by"....to be able to respond whenever he was inspired to record. Kamakawiwo'ole was a perfectionist and wouldn't record something until it was just right.

One night his manager had to get a guy to open up the recording studio because Kamakawiwo'ole had been up working on something and wanted to record it right away.

That night he recorded this song one take and he was done. He never sang the arrangement again.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I liked the story. Sad to know he's gone.
