DB-5M: Stevie Wonder plays several instruments. Percussion, keyboards and harmonica. He is famous for his harmonica talents
AM-5B: Surreal! What an terrific way to describe Judy's singing. You should look her up and listen to other songs she's done. Also, they recently made a movie about her life called....Judy!

JH-3G: Abiyoyo is wonderful. I am glad you heard it before.

RM-4B: Yes! Over the Rainbow IS peaceful and calm. Listening to it makes my heart happy
LT-2L: You're right. Abiyoyo is a funny story. I like to say the word....A-bi-yo-yo....it's silly. I will check out Queen of Mean!

Judy Garland
Over the Rainbow
Considered to be one of the best songs of the
20th century.
Listen for how clear her voice is.
She takes silent breaths and her tone is clear.
