Thanks for the comment and I agree! With the way its arranged so differently though, it takes some people a while to even realize it's from Wizard of Oz. I actually had someone ask me once if it was from Wicked! lol
Harold Arlen, who wrote it, did a little known album where he actually sang called "Harold Arlen and Friends." He arranged the song for him and Barbra Streisand to duet. I stole it from that arrangement. James heard the song once and was able to pick it up very easily. We don't even have sheet music for it. So it's a real testament to James' talent.
Very fun!!!!! Brought back memories!
