Rainbow Connection (2011 iTunes Exclusive Version)

never seen this version on KZbin before so BE FREE MY BELOVED SONG, MAY THE MASSES FINALLY HEAR YOU ONCE AGAIN
Thank you Steve Whitmire and all other Muppet performers for this wonderful cover!!! :D :D :D

[@carolinestrouse474]

This rare version of “Rainbow Connection” is slightly better than the one on the CD soundtrack. I believe this was the only time Steve Whitmire’s Kermit sang the second verse by himself.

I'm literally crying. It's a shame Jim isn't with us but Steve pulled Kermit off so well it sounds like Jim IS still here

Idk why Disney fired him. He was literally the only one who could keep Kermit's spirit alive after the tragedy in 1990. He took his own approach to the voice to preserve the absolute genius of Jim Henson. And that was how he payed respect

Thank you for sharing this version I was so sad when this version of the song just suddenly disappeared. Glad to be able to hear it once again!

[@Poyostar]

Gosh, why did this arrangement of Rainbow Connection have to be so rare? This is absolutely phenomenal!

[@Asukenick]

The Muppets got me through a lot but it was always Steve's characters that were his or ones that belong to others like Kermit that always made me feel good.

[@CrispyA113]

Even though I like Jim Henson’s voice Steve I feel is the true Kermit and Ernie to me

[@Gigan10610]

I grew up with Steve but Jim Henson's is the TRUE. Steve did a good job ngl but Jim was the REAL Kermit

[@Asukenick]

@Iiswired Steve started doing Kermit when he was about 30/31.

[@Asukenick]

@Iiswired I believe so. I seen many interviews where he mentions how old he was. His first show he did was with Alice Cooper on the Muppet Show. They still keep in touch.

[@Asukenick]

@Iiswired Steve joined The Muppets at about 18 but was 30 when Jim passed away.

[@dannybright8708]

Honestly my favorite version next to the original and the organ one played at Jim Henson’s memorial service. Shame it’s so hard to find

[@ryandyer3466]

I didn’t even knew this even existed wow thanks!
