IZ: Voice of the People is a portrait in words and over 200 photos of Israel Kamakawiw'ole - the man who rose to unrivaled celebrity on the strength of his one-in-a-million voice and a four-string ukulele. His phenomenal hit Over the Rainbow propelled his Facing Future album to Platinum status, and his voice has been heard around the world in films, television shows and advertisements. This book is the story behind the music. It is about fame, but it is also about triumph over adversity and loss; about standing up for the people of Hawaii and inspiring them to demand justice and sovereignty; and about the music, people, and events that shaped Israel and his career.
