Somewhere over the Rainbow.

[anotheoldgit]

During the ending titles of a programme on TV last week (sorry don't know the name), some gravel voiced singer sang the song 'somewhere over the rainbow'.

Does anyone know the name of the programme and who the singer was?

[B00]

Ey up, don't normally see you out of News AOG, does everyone else know you've escaped?

Anyhoo, I watched the same programme, and for the life of me I can't remember what it was, however I do know the singer was srael Kamakawiwo'Ole. Beautiful isn't it?

They used the Hawaiian guy's version at the end of this week's "Primeval" (the one with the "Terror Birds").

I have his CD here in frontof me. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. He died about 10 years ago as he was a very huge man and had heart attack. He is revered in HawaiiHis music is fabulous. My CD is Facing Future. I got mine through Didgeridoo Records www.hotrecords.uk.com. They are based in Brighton. Email:info@hotrecords .uk.com. I first heard Somewhere over The Rainbow on a prog The Family on Ch 4 last year and just had to find out more.
