 A must for fansOct 30, 2004
By Geoffrey Kragen
My only reservations with this disk are technical related to the sound being slightly off and some of the video being too reflective at some points. This may simply be a problem with the transfer from what is a TV production. I have e-mailed Mountain Apple and look forward to their response.
This having been said, this biographical program on Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole is an outstanding tribute to the unique Hawaiian. Family and friends tell of him from school until the time of his death. This is a history of a man and a music career.
This disk has bonus materials including the complete video of Over the Rainbow, two other numbers, and stories not included on the original TV program.
This is a very moving disk and the viewer walks away with a greater love and appreciation for a man who is just begining to be known on the mainland.
I cannot recommend this disk highly enough.
Mahalo Bro' Iz.

Brudda Iz a treat for allMay 31, 2000
This is an album to played with an open mind as it will grow on you more every time you hear this giant of a man sing. It's more than music, the late Brudda Iz is infectious. Tracks 5-13 are the meat of the CD 11 is nice... and you should track down his other album "Facing Future" with "Over the Rainbow/Beautiful World" on them and try not to be addicted.Bill, a fan

A complex thought-provoking person.Oct 25, 2005
By L. Edwards
We found this DVD when we were visiting in Hawaii this month. We loved his music since we were first introduced to it three years after his death. Seeing the DVD rounded out the picture I have in my mind. It shows IZ as a person, portrayed by those who continue to love him. I enjoyed "meeting" his wife, his daughter, his "adopted" mom, and the friend who "gave" him "Hawaiian Suppa Man." I am glad we found the DVD. The only disappointment was some quality of the recording itself.

 IZAug 01, 2006
By D. Lambert
If you are looking for music this is not the DVD to buy.
There is very, very little music. A good DVD to learn about
IZ and all his friends.

 Not much of Iz AlohaDec 11, 2006
By M. Perry
I am a most ardent fan of Iz, I own every CD and the other DVDs- he is my favorite musician, EVER. I did not like this DVD. I did not get any sense of the beauty and true Aloha spirit that I have found in his music- it seemed kind of amaturish, and like they had to include every thing any one said just to stretch it out. I wish someone would make a really good biography for him- there was something about him that went way beyond the music and into the heart for a lot of us, and you just could not see that in this attempt. I won't even watch it a second time.
