my favorite song of all time. am 70 years old. will have that song as my ashes are given back to lake Ontario. hope to hear Don playing that song somewhere up above
Heard this over the speakers while shopping today and was reminded of your great cover and came back a year later. 😂❤
Most beautiful song ever!! No one does it better than Don Potter ☺️❤️
Another ten? I am loving this 43 years later, Don. I'd love to hear you sing this for another 43.
Simply the best song ever. My ashes will be given back to Lake Ontario with this Don Potter version being sung.
This is the most beautiful version of this song, I was lucky enough to see him in Rochester when I was working there in the 70's. He played all around Rochester!! Then I saw him again with Wally and the gang from Northern Music at Jefferson Community College!! So lucky to have seen him again. Thanks Wally!!! When you are feeling down, this will pick up!!
It sounds like you may have missed the music he and the SHOWSTOPPERS put out in the Sixties! Pure magic!
This is the very early Don……sooo good at what he does
My favorite version of this song... Rochester remembers you Don!!
This album was a favorite of mine for so many years. It traveled with me all over the world during my military career. I can't thank you enough for posting this, so many memories, so many. Thank you.
Heard Don sing this song at the close of day years ago; at the Cheshire Dump Festival and it's stuck with me ever since!
Unmistakable voice. So soulful, so beautiful. My mom brought me to the "Friends and Love" show in Rochester and that's when I fell in love with this voice. I was ten years old. Thank you so much for posting this.
I was streaming Bat McGrath's Blue Eagle, and this following on the playlist was a surprise. It's forty years since my high school days back in Pittsford, and I had forgotten in the interim about Don Potter and this beautiful cover. What a great music scene Rochester had. Sure am glad this is uploaded here.
Wow, I used to drag my mom with me to see Don Potter with Stanley Watson at a restaurant called the Other Side of the Tracks. Even she, who was never a music-fan, liked Don's voice.. Some years later my sister & I used to enjoy seeing him with a small band, at a little downtown Rochester place called (I think)the Back Room. His version of "Over the Rainbow" will always be my favorite.
Don's version of Over the Rainbow the best. Spent many weekday late nights at the Alley just listening to the amazing duo of Don and Bat. And Friends and Love still is so great. I always wondered whatever happened to Esther Satterfield. Of course it seems everyone was related to or had a connection to the Mangiones. My Dad worked with Frank Mangione at Kodak.
Beautiful piece of work, well arranged....one of my favourite songs anyways bringing back so many memories of the past and other musician friends who have passed over that rainbow now....Bless them all, see ya soon kiddies.....
A hundred years ago when I was young ( '70's ) I went to see
Chuck Mangione at Old Massey Hall ( Toronto ) and
Don Potter sang Over the Rainbow - I will never forget
it - not a dry eye in the house.
I was there also.... Beautiful night..
I to Was Blessed to see Chuck Mangione AND Don. very good times in my life and now still very special just to look back in time
Wow, I was at Massey too. Just the best of memories! Thanks for sharing.
test of time. Perfect voice. Lovely soul, Don.
His version is my favorite version of Over the Rainbow. He is so GREAT!!
Ties with the Eva Cassidy Over the Rainbow for 'best of all time' for me. I've been listening to his music since 1986. Don gets better every year!
Hiley Morrisons Alley. Still my favorite version of this song....
As the currently number 1 ranked singer/songwriter in Rochester, let me say as the guy people generally hate to have to follow, this is better than I could ever be. I would not follow what I just heard. I would walk. Arguable the best song ever written. Don's voice is gorgeous. The production beyond beautiful. Wow. wow. wow.
Onde of the best musicians that i heard , thanks Don, god.bless you.
Don this reminds of Minneapolis in the 80s...you were such an inspiration. God bless you.
DON POTTER HAS BECOME ONE OF THE GREATEST WORSHIP LEADERS ALIVE ,A DEDICATED FOLLOWER OF JESUS ,WHO IS LORD OF ALL
Do you shout to make yourself surer of what you believe? If what you believe were true, you wouldn't need to shout to reinforce your own or other's belief.
I do like to hear him sing!
When you have a challenging day play/listen to this video.
Miss you both John B and Don, my favorite version of this classic song. Miss your beautiful arrangements and songs. To days gone by
Absolutely Brilliant
It's GREAT!!!!!!
Love it!!
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
My wife and I both want this song played at our funeral service.
Me too
I got a rainbow urn for my ashes to be put into. My son will understand that.
I did--- for my husband---:)
I agree...there is no better version for me. Not even Dorothy does/did it with that much soul.
I agree. {M.Egan-Sturtevant}
this version is the way I learned to accompany a singer in a band that played at weddings , parties and some clubs in the Greater Rochester area. Don Potter's vocal inflections are the way it should be sung. That's my opinion. Does anybody want to comment? [M. Egan-Sturtevant]
Yeah, I'm definitely a convert to this rendition.
Hey- beautiful version of Over the Rainbow. I've played with John Labarber and I would like to accompany you on this song, with my Alto Flute. At Fort Hill & the Grange, the 10th & 12th of May...
Sincerely, Tommy Gravino
I love you Don
I hear the Lord's voice coming from Don. Many singers sang prophetic lyrics to comfort our troubled hearts, ie, "Bridge over Troubled Waters", "Blowing In The Wind", "Try To Catch The Wind' and many many others; announcing HE is with us no matter the circumstances! JESUS IS LORD - DEAL WITH IT!!!!
Funny--sounds just like Don Potter's voice to me.
And you really--REALLY--shouldn't make claims about other people's songs. If Bob Dylan or Paul Simon or any of the other songwriters whose songs you referenced want to say that about their songs, that's their business.
As for the last--there is nothing to "deal with."
I don't think the term "prophetic lyrics" means what you think it means.
so sending this to him...just for kicks...
Has "Don Potter" self titled album ever been reissued in digital?
I sure have not found it anywhere.
Always loved Don Potter's version- it's too bad that his beautiful guitar voicings are buried in the piano and strings on this recording.
Agree with everything you said.
Goodness, I don't know this Don lol. I know the one who's hair has turned white from being in the presence of God.
Erm, ... I think age does that.
You have missed halfa Don.
