I would consider myself fully compensated and my life work richly rewarded because of your singing of Rainbow alone. It is a gift most writers are never lucky enough to know. Your voice, above all others, touches a song with immortality and carries in it the prayer and wonder of all mankind.

Excerpt from a letter to Judy Garland by Yip Harburg, April 25, 1961. “Rainbow” refers to “Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz.
