somewhere over the rainbow - Ray Charles version?

a
piaNOwarrangement
of

"Over The Rainbow"

based
upon
an arrangement
i found
of the
Ray Charles's/Johnny Mathis
duet from RC's final album,
Genius Loves Company.

I've never heard that
version yet, but i hope
this is even remotely close
or
similar in any respect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Over the Rainbow" (also known as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow")
Music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lyrics:

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

[Stiophain]

If in my mind's eye, I can picture Ray and Johnny while listening to this, then the "remotely close" and "similar in any respect" measures of this performance have been more than met. But then I knew they would be. :)

[piaNOwarist]

[crumblenaut]
