This isIsrael Kamakawiwo'ole's version of the classic song - it's been featured on the Galloway show a fair bit recently. I was thinking there's probably loads of other cover versions, so I'll try and find a few.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Nice one! I love this version, although I'm a very pedantic bitch so I can't help but point out that it's actually an amalgamation of both Over The Rainbow and Wonderful World - 2 for the price of 1.
Here's Eva Cassidy's version, which is amazing towards the end. Gets me every time.

I may have put this in wrong ..... But John Martyns Cover of this is My fave version I Loved John Martyn from The Day I heard solid air ......Prolly around 1976.....Have seen him many times in concert ..I adore the crazy fool .......Anyways I first saw him do this at a gig at Kingston uni Late 80s ......I was Blown away ........ps I love this video too even though it has nothing to do with John martyn .....what a beautiful backdrop to the song .......
