The Music Tells The Story-.......2007-05-15

This DVD was very enjoyable to watch. It covered all areas of IZ's life, the love of his Hawaii, and interviews from close friends and family. From the smiling giggles to his spiritual love of Hawaii this DVD shows the real musician and family man. When I heard IZ say, "We live in both worlds." His memory of Hawaii, and his music will carry on for a very long time. My husband and I lived in Hawaii, our son was born there, and we really loved it. After watching this DVD I wanted to fly over and stay at Bellows Beach!!

Not much of Iz Aloha.......2006-12-11

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.

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.

IZ THE MAN BEHIND THE MUSIC.......2006-03-06

IF YOU LOVE IZ KAMAKAWIWO'OLE MUSIC. YOU WILL LOVE HIS DVD.
JUST SITTING AND WATCHING THE DVD, YOU WILL THINK YOU WERE THERE, IN THE AUDIENCE LISTENING TO HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE. THE STORY ABOUT HIS LIFE AND MUSIC, IT IS A MUST BUY DVD. BARB FROM CHICAGO.

A complex thought-provoking person........2005-10-26

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.
