This is also why we don’t have any live footage of him playing it. As his producer Jon de Mello said, “if we knew it would be such a massiive hit, it wouldnt have been track 14!” #israelkamakawiwoole #iz #hawaiian #overtherainbow #somewhereovertherainbow #ukulele #officialvideo | Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole | Facebook
