Judy Garland
Also known as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, the 1939 classic and Academy Award winning song from “Wizard of Oz”.
In 2001, the National Endowment of the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America named the song the 20th century top song (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” came second).
Writ...
[Verse 1]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
[Verse 2]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
[Bridge]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
[Verse 3]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I?
[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

Unfortunately, it’s not. Depending on how you interpret copyright laws, it could enter public domain in 2034 at the earliest, which is 95 years after the song’s original publication. Alternately, because the copyright was renewed in 1979, it might not enter public domain until 2056.
Yes. At 21, Judy Garland re-recorded “Over The Rainbow.”
