this song is crap

 

[gblews]

Whose "Over the Rainbow" do you like?

I like Louis Armstrong's

Its such a great song that it almost doesn't matter who sings it so long as its sung on key.

 

[McCoy]

Eva Cassidy's version is hauntingly beautiful.

 

[gblews]

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole!

Ohhhhhh, this guy. I've had his version on my hard drive for years now and never knew his name. I just knew he was real big and well...dead, unfortunately.

But this is a terrific version of "Rainbow". Harold Arlen would be happy.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Richie Blackmore (of Rainbow) and Chris Impelliteri (a Blackmore devotee) both did great guitar versions of it.

 

[Sakrysta]

^When I get to heaven, I want to sing like Audra.

 

[Super Grover]

Willie Nelson.

 

[Level 2 Diagnostic]

Sam Harris. Okay, not really, but people loved this shit back in 1988. He won Star Search like 18 times with this.

 

[shivkala]

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole!

Wow, I was fast enough to be first to say that.

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole FTW.

Such a beautiful rendition and it's just so hard to not forget your troubles and crack at least a tiny, little smile every time you hear it.
