This review is from: Over The Rainbow (LP Soundtrack Version from Wizard Of Oz) (MP3 Download)

This recording of "Over the Rainbow" comes straight from the soundtrack to the motion picture, "The Wizard of Oz." Judy Garland never sang any better; her voice is so fine it's like listening to silk. Indeed, after just one listen it's very hard indeed to resist listening to it all over again! Moreover, Judy handles the initial, big upward jump (between the first two words "Somewhere" and "over," I think it's a full octave) with panache and I'm very impressed. As the other reviewer correctly notes, this IS timeless music, charming and an unforgettable jewel.

Judy Garland had already amazed movie-going audiences when she sung her heart out with songs including "Dear Mr. Gable/You Made Me Love You" from "The Broadway Melody of 1938;" but this trumps even that flawless performance! Although Judy would go on to record countless superlative interpretations of songs, ballads and vaudeville style tunes, this particular recording of "Over the Rainbow" almost certainly shows her genius at its best; and this is still her signature song even all these years later.

Thank you, Judy! We will never forget you!

What can I say? The vocals are perfect, the music is ... it's a song you can enjoy without having to watch the movie.
