Chillingly beautiful. Just shared this with a friend who's mother just passed. Hopefully this will help to lift him from his grief as he visualizes his mom in a better place .. 'above the rainbow'.
Victor Vanacore won a grammy for his arrangement of 'Over the Rainbow' and was influential in bringing Ray Charles and Johnny Mathis together for this most beautiful song ~ genius! Thank you Victor. joanwarnick@att.net
@swordad1 The "Over The Rainbow" duet of Johnny Mathis and Ray Charles was released on Johnny's CD entitled "Isn't It Romantic: The Standards Album" in 2005 which you can easily purchase at Amazon
@swordad1 This song + many other amazing duets are on Ray's "Genius Loves Company" cd. I just got a copy of it today and its already in my top 10 favorites.
As a fan of both of these greats, it is odd i haven't heard this version til now. But this is absolutely beautiful and the video is a fantastic compliment.
Now in my favorites. You have an ear for what touches the heart, a nice asset in today's hasty world. We see birds flying, hear them singing, but when they die, they must go over the Rainbow, cause we don't see millions of bodies scattered about. A nice touch of magic and mystery in every rainbow. Thanks for posting it.
BEAUTIFUL! I have this in my favorites. Fabulous video to go with the song. It's wonderful the way their voices mix and work so well on this song. Thanks for posting it. I LOVE IT!
This was on Charles' last recording which was all duets. I know that he personally chose the tunes, and, I believe, also chose his singing partners. This track was played at the end of the memorial service.
Thank you Loydkoh826 for sharing this video to me. I like the music so much...Excellent video...thank you to the editor...I enjoyed your video a lot. **Cheryl**
I think it's truly amazing that two great artists with different styles of singing can utilize their vocal talents, to combined them together, in putting such a beautiful tune together such as this song. Angela, thanks for presenting this song on You Tube, I really enjoyed it.
Finding this on my home page, didn't lose any time playing and listening to this classical song and commenting on your best efforts in putting them all in one. Surely, it's a lovely duo from the 2 great artists of our time Johnny Mathis and Ray Charles. Thank you so much Angela for sharing it with me.
It's amazing that two great artist with totally different styles of singing can utilize their voices to combines such a beautiful masterpiece with a song such as this one. It was beautifully done in such a great style and arrangement
