Jason Castro “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”
Jason Castro paid homage tonight on “American Idol” to one of my favorite renditions of any song – ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole accompanied by a ukelele.
‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ was originally written for Judy Garland by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg for the movie “The Wizard of Oz.” It later became her signature song.
The Israel Kamakawiwo’ole version was featured on the soundtrack of “Meet Joe Black” “Finding Forrester” and “50 Firsty Dates.”
Here’s the Jason Castro on “American Idol”
