Happy New Year. A March 2013 bride is asking for Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo to be played for her wedding. What versions are available in sheet music please? Thank you for your help.
Love your music so much!
I thought no one could sing “Somewhere over the rainbow,” better than Judy Garland … but I was wrong. Israel’s super smooth voice with a soft touch of Ukelele makes this song a whole new sound; and yes better than the original. I am old enough to remember the original and although it was beautiful Israel redefines the song.
I just watched Meet Joe Black and this song/version/artist was featured during the end credits–I’d heard it before and it has always mesmerized me. 🙂 I was so glad to figure out finally (by watching the credits to the very end!) who the artist was. Just beautiful!
sem duvidas o audio desse havaiano, que em 1997 partiu para além do arco-íris, foi um dos mais incríveis que eu já tive o privilégio de escutar, essa música ai é fabulosa, e aposto que marcou muitas gerações e embalou muitos sonhos, fantástico, aloha…………….Israel K……..IZ…………….
