Somewhere Over the Wonderful Rainbow

I never knew who sang this hauntingly beautiful version until I started looking for it the other day. I heard it being played in the bookstore, and knew that I wanted to share it on my blog. The song is a mixture of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World- a medley of his own creation. A Hawaiian musician, Israel Kamakawiwoʻole died at the age of 38 in 1997. Since his death, his medley and music has gained even greater popularity the world over. I hope you enjoy his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World.
