For the definitive version of ‘Over the Rainbow’ check out Eva Cassidy on You Tube. Anyone who listens to this with dry eyes has a heart of stone.

The list of wonderful songs written by Harold Arlen is long indeed.

This is another version of "Over the Rainbow" that I like. It features the verse, which is almost never performed.

Over the Rainbow--Vera Lynn (1940)

Speaking of rainbows...

It Always Rains Before the Rainbow--Vera Lynn (1941)

I discovered Eva Cassidy on YouTube a few months ago.
Her version of “Over the Rainbow” is indeed a treasure!

Sad she had to leave us so young.
