Here's the combination version (Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World) by Iz Kamakawiwo. Sadly, he passed in 1997 from Respiratory Illness.

Mission of My Soul – Peter Himmelman
Let’s Play – The Subdudes
Make Up Your Mind – Richie Spice
On a side note, on American Idol last week, Kris Allen did a rather stunning version of a song called “Falling Slowly”. My daughter had downloaded the original version of this song after it won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 2007.
It is from the somewhat obscure film “Once”, an Irish musical/drama starring musicians Glen Hansard (of popular Irish rock band The Frames) and Marketa Irglova as struggling musicians. Kris Allen’s version might be better (available on iTunes).

PS I added the iTunes and Amazon MP3 store links above - if you start there the forum earns a commission

jmq- thanks for the tip on Falling Slowly. I am one of the few people with the original version. So I will check out the new one..
Boston Mike- Those are good tunes!
Anthony - Doing my part to make a few pennies for the Forum. Sorry that I didn't know about it over the weekend!
Your new links make it easy. Thanks for including Amazon, they are cheaper on several tunes these days....

Needless to say my musical tastes are crazy eclectic(ranging from classical to reggae to rock to pop to dance).
Here's some of the more "interesting" choices on my Beach & STJ play lists....
There are some surprises and some classics. Some are unusual re-mixes or covers of familiar songs but unique in their own way- so the artist notation is important.
Enjoy!
In the Sun - Joseph Arthur
Funkier than a Mosquito's Tweeter- Nina Simone
The Seed 2.0 - The Roots & Cody Chestnut Edited to note that the CLEAN version is more preferable. The lyrics are a bit nasty but I like the rythym and the tune...
Galileo - Indigo Girls
I'll Melt with you - Nouvelle Vague
Express Yourself (Mocean Worker Remix) - Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rythm Band
Here comes the sun- Nina Simone
Cruel Summer (Blestenation Mix) - Blestenation
Le Tue Parole- Andrea Boccelli
Escape (the Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes
We Are Family - Sister Sledge
Brighter than Sunshine- Aqualung
Nothin but a good time - Poison
Tiny Dancer- Elton John
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
Anything from 50 First Dates Soundtrack
Anything from the Blue Crush Soundtrack
Edited to correct Big Crush -- should be BLUE Crush (the movie with Kate Bosworth about surfer girls in Hawaii)

Anthony, Does that work for you if I order CD's.too?
If so, I'll order Cd's through the link from Amazon. I still like to have the disk.
