THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

HAROLD ARLEN

THE WIZARD OF OZ: “OVER THE RAINBOW”

Sassy handles the song with utter simplicity in this Fifties video from the CBS Sunday afternoon series “Omnibus.” If your screen isn’t blurry at the end, you have no soul!

Sarah Vaughan: “Over the Rainbow”

This is early Frankie from the Axel Stordahl era in the Forties, and he shows that the song is not the exclusive property of female vocalists.

My favorite version of "Over the Rainbow" is sung by Sherman Hayes with Del Courtney & His Orchestra, a "sweet" band (as opposed to a swing band) from Hawaii. This recording is very rare. When I found it on the Internet Archive today, I heard it for the first time since Ronald Reagan was president.

Over the Rainbow--Del Courtney & His Orchestra (1939)

THE WIZARD OF OZ: “OVER THE RAINBOW”

Doris and Judy were close friends and often traveled together by train because they both hated flying. Judy actually suggested that Doris record this.

Howdy, spel.

You weren’t caught up in any of the yeeha that wore out TX this week, were you? It’s been mighty rough there this week and I hope you missed out on the “fun”.

This is one of the few recordings of "Over the Rainbow"--in fact, the only one I have ever heard--that features the verse--sometimes called "the lost verse."

Over the Rainbow--Vera Lynn (1940)

And that demands an answer!

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