There was a spot thing for Michelle Kwan on USA and they had a version of "over the rainbow" playing. It was a guy (I'm pretty sure) singing with a mandolin. Anybody know the artist?

You surely must be thinking of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World.

I have been trying for years to find out who soings this version - I think it is Over the Rainbow but it has a very Island feel - I think a ukelele plays it. It was featured a couple of years ago in a commertical for a Carribean destination - Barbados I think. I just heard it again on the TV last night but I did not catch which advertiser was using it. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
