Glenn Miller - Over The Rainbow (1939)

  • el año pasado
Over The Rainbow (Arlen-Harburg) by Glenn Miller & his Orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle

The enduring standard from “The Wizard Of Oz” sits at the top more than one list of the greatest songs of the 20th century. It spent seven weeks at #1 on “Your Hit Parade” and sold a fair number of 78s for various artists, including this Miller version (despite Ray Eberle’s errant non-rhyming lyric). See also Judy Garland and Bob Crosby.
