Ukulele Chart Somewhere Over The Rainbow
September 16, 2013This beautiful song first sung by Judy Garland has been performed in many arrangements and styles. This fantastic ukulele version was made famous by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (pronounced Ka maka vivo -ole).
His voice became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993, and his music subsequently featured in films, television programs, and television advertisement commercials.
Through his skillful ukulele playing and incorporation of other genres (such as jazz and reggae), Kamakawiwoʻole’s music remains a very strong influence in Hawaiian music, and his version of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ has been featured in many films and TV series – ER, Scrubs, Cold Case, Meet Joe Black, Fred Claus and 50 First Dates. Approximately ten thousand people attended his funeral when he died at the age of 38 in 1997.
