Over The Rainbow (Arlen-Harburg) by Glenn Miller & his Orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle<br /><br />The enduring standard from “The Wizard Of Oz” sits at the top more than one list of the greatest songs of the 20th century. It spent seven weeks at #1 on “Your Hit Parade” and sold a fair number of 78s for various artists, including this Miller version (despite Ray Eberle’s errant non-rhyming lyric).
