Written by Harold Arlen and E. Y. “Yip” Harburg for the film “Wizard of Oz,” “Over the Rainbow” is one of the most covered songs in popular music. I’ve even heard Ian Tyson sing it. It is the number one song on the “Songs of the Century” list compiled by the Recording Industry Association of America

Here is seventeen year old Judy Garland, in the film, singing the song that was nearly cut for slowing down the action. “Over the Rainbow” won an Oscar for best original song in 1939.
