Song of the Day #1,815: ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Live)’ – Rufus Wainwright
I suppose every self-respecting gay singer must tackle ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ at some point.
Rufus Wainwright took it a step further, actually recreating Judy Garland’s legendary Carnegie Hall concert song for song in his own appearance at the venue.
Today’s recording is not from that concert but from a bootleg of a more traditional concert.
