At 3 a.m. one night in 1988, Hawaiia Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo’ole called a local studio and said he needed to record something right then and there. He pleaded with the engineer: “Please, can I come in? I have an idea.”💥
Then, in a single take, Kamakawiwo’ole recorded the iconic version of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” that would soon touch countless people across the globe.💥 The recording, featuring just Kamakawiwo’ole’s voice and ukulele, seemed to captivate everyone who heard it in a way that was utterly unforgettable.💥
Even after Kamakawiwo’ole died in 1997 at just 38 years old, his haunting music and his short yet inspiring life have continued to have a profound effect on people the world over.💥💥
