This morning, one month removed from the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, a group of Newtown elementary school music students performed the Judy Garland classic “Over The Rainbow,” along with musician Ingrid Michaelson, on Good Morning America.
Earlier this month, the children recorded the song at the Connecticut home studio of Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, ex-members of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club.
The studio version can be downloaded on iTunes, with proceeds benefitting Newtown charities.
