- Band of Oz has been making Beach Music special since the mid '60. Here I have shared two versions of Over the Rainbow to show how they have evolved yet remained constant for the past 45+ years.
While i love both versions, Jerry West version gives me the chills. I had it played at my fathers funeral a few months ago and most had never heard it (they hadn't listened to much beach music). However, after the funeral many wanted to know who it was so they could look it up. A couple weeks later, another told me they listen to it every day now. BOZ ended New Years Eve party with it last month too! But not the same without Jerry on vocals.
When I was much younger I went to several places just to hear this "Band of Oz" They never disappointed. When I listen to this song by them, it gives me goose bumps & brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely fabulous!! Just an old eastern N.C gal.
I'm so proud to have been a part of this recording as arranger and co producer.
this song never gets old
Just BEAUTIFUL. Lot of tears and wonderful and not so wonderful memories... Still so sweet.......Thank you.
No one will ever do this song like Big John! I grew up with his version thanks to my parents and now my daughter is doing the same ❤️
Best version of this song EVER,!!!
...this song was played by the Band of Ox in Raleigh, NC as a tribute to those that lost their lives in the Viet Nam war... made me cry then and now!
The best version of this song ever.
Big John was my next door neighbor growing up! The band would come play almost every weekend
Brings back fantastic memories, very well done. Love that song
Gives me chill bumps every time!
One of my ALL TIME favorites!!!
Both versions are beautiful....thanks.
Saw these guys do this song at Larkin's in Va Beach about 20 years ago. Loved it then, love it now.

and we're gonna see 'em this Saturday. Miss Big John though!!
No one does this song like Big John !

Great time last night at Thirsty's with the Band of Oz
We love this song❤️✝️🙏🎉✨✨✨🌎
Best version ever, love BigJohn's voice
Fabulous
I'm grateful for this video and the two versions of the song, but I sure wish they were kept separate and not back-to-back. :-(
Nobody sings this like Big John Thompson!
Big John is great and so is Jerry West, wish they could get together and both sing it together. I can dream
My lady and I are planning to be there too.
always makes me feel 18 & at the Pavillion @ Atlantic Beach circle. My grown kids love beach music as they were brainwashed as children.....lol Brings this 72 yo into a parallel universe......lol
My song to help someone else live~
