I've heard a particular version of SOTR a couple of times, and today I heard it played at a memorial Mass and it was beautiful. Can someone confirm who the singer is (possibly Israel Kamakawiwo`ole?). It's just one singer, one simple acoustic guitar, sounds almost amateurish. He doesn't even sing all the correct words at the right time, but it's just beautiful in its simplicity. A
Buy it on iTunes.
He's dead so the chance of him recording anything new is slim.
It's a fantastic version of the song and it's a shame such a talent is lost.
It's on a few of his (Israel's / Iz's) albums but they are import only in HMV and cost a fortune.
Alternatively you can buy the soundtrack for Finding Forrester, you'll probably get it for under a tenner 'cos it's quite old, and the song is on it in full. Plus you get some funky jazz tracks too
