Hi,
I know Tony Delroy plays "Over The Rainbow" by Eva Cassidy(spelling?), but Eva is a she, I assume it is on the ABC playlist. She died a while ago now.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Buzzer
Eva Cassidy some where over the rainbow is also on lime wire and its free if you want i can e-mail it to you.
I'm guessing you are chasing the beautiful Ukulele backed "Somewhere over the Rainbow/It's a Wonderful World" by "IZ" (Israel) Kamakawiwo`ole.
That's his name, Hawaiian ,he was about the size of a small elephant and died about ten years ago. The song's had a lot of play on ABC radio over the last three or four years, and Ukulele music just doesn't get any better. (unless you get a chance to see Jake Shimabukuro)
A google search on either will give you heaps of info, including album sales!
cheers,
P (I don't listen to television, I watch radio)
:D
Somewhere Over the Rainbow has been covered by quite a few singers including Judy Garland ,Eva Cassidy and of course our own Billy Thorpe.I also remember Eva Cassidy doing a wonderful job of it Buzzer but is ptc saying that the version he heard is a male singer?
I didnt hear it but id say its "IZ" Kamakawiwo`ole.
go here http://www.hawaiianislandmusic.com/M...kawiwoole.html
and scroll down to second group on the left and hear a sample of it. Youl soon know if it was him.
My two bob worth is Thorpie sang the best ever and most emotional version:)
Hello ptc,I just had a quick look and the version that bitingmidge mentioned is available as a free download.I just went into AltaVista's mp3 search and there were alot of sites to download that version from if that is the right one.
For what it is worth, I am listening to it while I was reading this note.. I downloaded it just this afternoon from
http://search.singingfish.com/sfw/home.jsp
and it is the version by: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
I once did a google on him and found out he died some years ago and that THIS version is very popular around the world...
Thank you All for you replies.
It was " Israel Kamakawiwo'ole "
Brudda Tried to find him on the singingfish But would not come up.
Terry I will try Altavista mp3.
Mudguts.
Would you please Email me Eva Cassidy one.
Lignum.
could only get a very short clip of it.
Gee This Forum is a mine of info.

greenies on the way.
At the risk of providing " a whiff of Lavender" :
thank you all, I am listening as I type... this is beautiful. I am most grateful!
Didn't Kermit the Frog have a version of Over the Rainbow as well? :D
Hello ptc,I just had a look at the singing fish site that Brudda recommended and the song (Over the Rainbow) came straight up for me (as well as the other 326 available downloads)it must be a Very popular number as I reckon that there would be about the same or even more on the Altavista site.
