sex the city and me (sunday night) ...over the rainbow

[learntojive]

Does anyone know who was singing somewhere over the rainbow in sunday nights 'sex, the city, and me' ?
It was a fab melancholy version, sounded like a band rather than a solo artist

I think the person who you may have heard sing it is - Isreal Kamamawiwo'ole - my brother fell in love with this version & got the guys album, it's fab - it's also on an advert but I can't remember which one. If you cut & paste his name into google, you'll get some info on him & maybe a tune that you can identify with the one you heard
