His song Somewhere Over The Rainbow is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

If anyone has not heard it:

I've heard his version somewhere else and remember that I wondered by whom it is. It's such a lovely song and i love this version.

I first heard it in the movie "50 First Dates", and i agree, it's a very lovely song!

Ooh! This song makes me cry! Wasn't it also in Scrubs or something?

Anyway, I can't hear it without crying! If I ever get married in like Hawaii I'm having this played for sure.

Me too, Tinister, I heard it at the very end of "50 First Dates." It was also in a commercial for children's cereal too, I think!

Another good one by him is "Maui Medley."

This song has been everywhere

Some kid with dreadlocks covered it on American Idol. I thought it was dreadful but some people liked it

Ooh, I just heard Maui Medley, and it makes me wanna dance the hula.
That video was good imo, but nothing beats the original
