He LOVED IZ for both the music, and for how much the man loved his home and really tried to make it better through compassion and speaking out against the problems they faced; this video makes me cry every time too.

Hundreds of people were wading in the water and hundreds more were on land. A procession of big rigs blew and held their horns echoing through the valley while his ashes were placed into the ocean making it sound as if the State of Hawaii was crying . . . it's a moment I will never forget.

Now, I would love to get everybody who has responded to this video to listen to him singing in the Hawaiian language, which is really his best work. And of course there are endless other great Hawaiian artists who almost nobody on the mainland has ever heard.

Man its been over 20 years since he died and I still get emotional over it. He had such a sweet and heavenly voice. And I know he is up in Heaven now singing in that big choir in Heaven still blowing peoples minds away with his talent.
