@ericaboersma: In the early hours of 1988, Israel Kamakawiwo’ole made an unforgettable mark on music history. At 3 a.m., he called a Honolulu recording studio, insisting that he had to record immediately. Fifteen minutes later, the 500-pound musician arrived, greeted by the astonished studio owner, Milan Bertosa, who described Israel as “the largest human being” he’d ever seen. Settling into a large steel chair provided by a security guard, Israel cradled his beloved ukulele, ready to capture the magic of the moment. With just a quick sound check, the microphones were set, the tape rolled, and Israel performed “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” It was a single take—so pure, so poignant—that it became the timeless rendition millions cherish today. His voice, laced with emotion, seemed to transport listeners to a place of hope and peace. That one night, Israel’s heartfelt performance turned a humble studio session into a musical moment for the ages, touching hearts worldwide. #IsraelKamakawiwoole #viraltiktok #SomewhereOverTheRainbow #fyp #HawaiianMusic #LegendaryMoments #OneTakeWonder #UkuleleMagic #SoulfulMusic #MusicalHistory #fypp
