Song version

[elwoodblues]

Warning -- this will not be described very well, but any help is appreciated.

I'm looking for the artist who sings a version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. It doesn't sound like the Oz version at all. It's older (maybe circa 60's or 70's). Without singing it for you, I really can't describe it any further. Any help?

I think the one you're looking for is
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
Its being used in a deodorant ad over here in the U.K.
Try this link it has a sample of the track.

We need more info: Female/male/instrumental? Style? acapella/with band? Instruments played on track? Gotta give us something man...

If you're thinking of the one with primarily ukulele, it's the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World. Good song.

Didn't Gene Simmons do a cover of that song on his solo album? God that was gay!

[elwoodblues]

That's the one! You rock. Thanks.

This is a pretty gay question.

[elwoodblues]

Ouch.

I have feelings too.

[Boris]

You asked for help. Over the Rainbow is the gay national anthem.

Don't get me wrong, your post was very helpful. Thanks.
