Israel Kamakawiwoʻole was born in Honolulu in 1959. His 1990 album 'Facing Future' featured his version of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' which became widely known. He also recorded 'White Sandy Beach of Hawaii' and 'Hawaiʻi 78.' He worked with musicians including Skippy Kamakawiwoʻole, Willie K, John Cruz, and David Paʻaluhi.
