For over a decade one of my all-time top ten favorite songs has been the cover of Over the Rainbow by "Iz," Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. I listen to it over and over and over again.
Iz died in 1997, attributed to his massive obesity -- he was over 750 pounds. Just last month a re-release of his more popular records hit the Billboard 500. If you don't own it, get it. It's one of those rare songs that can make you either burst into tears or beam a smile of joy depending on your current mood.
