Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on May 20, 1959)

Happy birthday, Bruddah Iz! Somewhere over the rainbow, you're probably strumming your ukulele and charming angels with that soulful voice. Your timeless rendition of "Over the Rainbow" still makes us smile, cry, and hum along—often all at once. Who knew a gentle giant from Hawaii could make the whole world pause and listen?

Though you left us far too soon in 1997, your music continues to inspire generations. From beach bonfires to weddings worldwide, your melodies remain as fresh as island breezes. So here's to you—forever Hawaii's favorite entertainer—may heaven have plenty of poi and endless aloha shirts!
