Some songs never fade—they live on, finding new voices and touching new hearts. “Over the Rainbow,” written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg for The Wizard of Oz in 1939, is one of those rare gems. Decades later, it’s still cherished by millions as an anthem of hope and dreams.
While countless artists have tried their hand at this classic, few have made it their own quite like Hawaiian vocalist Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. In 1988, during a spontaneous late-night recording session, Israel picked up his ukulele and poured his soul into the song. In a single take, he created a version so heartfelt that it left the studio engineer, Milan Bertosa, completely stunned.
This isn’t an easy song to perform. With its soaring notes and emotional depth, “Over the Rainbow” demands nothing less than perfection. For most singers, it’s a test of skill and passion.
Then came Anna.
