Music: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (Hawaiian Singer)

This Hawaiian singer, died in 1997, is No. 73 on iTunes Music Store. He is so huge. The article says he is 1000 pounds. I'm going to check him out for sure, because this kind of undiscovered great singers are all around the world. Right now, maybe Radiohead and Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys are popular, but unheard singers living right now maybe discovered in the future. I want these songs. Recently, I am listening all the kind of songs, but prefer more and more kinder, quieter, more matured songs. I hope to find more and more like him in the future.
