Maggie’s video sent me here. It’s crazy how one video can lead to another video and it somehow connects us all! Because love and music is a universal language. No politics, no religion, no race , no gender & it doesn’t matter where you come from. Love and music can speak to anyones soul . Thank you Maggie for sharing your beautiful story of you and your father’s bond over this song and performance.

[@UrsoL7bbyidc]

This is truly the message. We ARE all connected. We are ALL ONE. ❤❤❤

Thank you, Maggie. I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. Obviously he was loved and he loved you, the greatest gift any of us can hope to receive in this world.

[@blueeyes31460]

I could've never guessed that he had such a voice. I don't know why I didn't know this. I loved him in CSI. I thought his character was riveting. I'm happy to see this video and to see the side of Mandy Patinkin.

[@christinagray1099]

Thank you, Maggie, for leading me to this gem!

[@valeriepasnau3283]

[@ShannonDraganov]

Maggie, my heart goes out to you and your broken heart💔I believe that what you share(this song, this artist)with your Father will get you thru this time and sadness . What a gift he gave you❤️
Mandy Patinkin’s performance of this song is a gift to US ALL.

[@caanderson64]

Thank you Maggie

[@weeniehutjunior]

THAT WAS MAGICAL!!!! WOW!!! Amazing. 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤

[@ev.annique]

RIP Chris Carter. Please, send a rainbow to Maggie if someone up there can manage it.

[@heide36]

Came to see this in memory of Maggie’s father. This song was my dad’s favorite too and I haven’t listened to it since he passed away 4 years ago.

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

This is why art and performance is so important. The human capacity to create is precious. Rest well over the rainbow, Maggie’s dad (say hi to my dad) and thank you Mandy Patinkin and all those who share their art with us.

[@Mommommommommom]

I couldn’t search this fast enough when Maggie’s TikTok ended. I see why it immediately bonded her daddy to his baby girl. ❤

[@jennw2002]

Watching because of Maggie & her recently departed father. RIP Mr. Carter!

[@annkey464]

Me and I’ve always loved Mandy Patinkin and this song but never knew he’d sung it on Letterman!

[@breezy_meadows]

who's watching this during 2020 quarantine?

[@esdrasnascimento1147]

Just paused a Homeland episode to check him out

[@ivydiroma6530]

I watched it that Friday night and I'm still watching with tears in my eyes.

Beautiful!

[@janemorjaria7436]

Ardee de la Rosa I’ve found my happiness watching this.

[@protips7582]

Thank you Maggie and Mandy. What a beautiful memory you have

[@melissabelton]

Oh my word.
I lost my father almost 3 years ago. Thanks Maggie.
This is a gem.

[@michelledvorak3167]

[@krishaller5338]

Blessings to Maggie and family. Thanks Mandy! ❤

[@KCFlyer2]

I remember watching this when it aired the first time. I've never heard it done so beautifully

[@northsider75]

I saw it at the time, too. And you're right -- never done better

[@DanRothStrong]

+northsider75 Ditto...and I spoke glowingly about it for years.

[@garyroberts3859]

Come off it he crucified it...very annoying voice...it’s almost like he’s trying to be too clever

[@DanRothStrong]

Ditto. I spoke about it to so many. Really struck me.

[@amyalpe1]

Maggie sent me. You're in my heart darling girl

[@Bailey2006a]

This is my second favorite version… Judy singing it in the original movie will always be number one. She captured the intention of the lyrics… childhood in all its innocence .

[@marthacoppage601]

I was supposed to see Mandy in concert tonight. I am unable to go and am so sad. It was a dream for me. Maggie’s story helped me put it in perspective. And brought me to this beautiful performance.

[@deborahgutierrez]

Yes that’s why I’m here

[@lisamontes1112]

Watching bc of Maggie! Thank you for this gem, may your dad rest in peace.

[@donnaturner3133]

I’m rewatching this because of Maggie’s heartfelt video! Love!! ❤️

[@gregorymacnab3849]

I have no words...just tears.

[@downhilltwofour0082]

I just recently found the Mandy Patinkin channel. Now I'm finding all of these little jewels. It's like walking along a road and repeatedly finding diamonds at my feet. Such a joyous experience!

[@iancorben]

His channel is great isn’t it! Found recently too - he seemed to disappear for a long time but clearly not

[@lauriehalverson1680]

I always knew he was a great actor but now I found out he can really sing as well. Lovely rendition.

[@LoraEckle-t6g]

For sweet Maggie and her sweet dad 💔

[@JJ-rb8sc]

Maggie you sent all of us here. Thinking about you and your Dad. Thank you so for sharing your beautiful sad powerful story. I am so very sorry

[@brighterxxeyes]

RIP Christopher Carter. Sending love to Maggie and her family.

[@eliathomas2867]

For Maggie and her dad ❤

[@willemslabbert3311]

He has such control!

[@rebeccameister9962]

Watching for Maggie and her dad.😢 So sorry for her loss 😔

[@oobaka1967]

I first saw him in The Princess Bride and the in Alien Nation. Then I saw this and my mouth just dropped open.
Couldn't believe that voice was coming from him.

[@DoyleWyatt]

Yes I remember that

[@Xiy114]

This IS!!!! One of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VERSIONS OF "Over The Rainbow that I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!! THANK YOU for uploading this SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I saw this when it originally aired! WONDERFUL!!

[@kimberlyz2448]

Blessings to your Dad, and to you Maggie.

[@se7enofnein]

Forget Jerusalem - gotta get Patinkin on VHS!

[@MidnightCarp]

Just stunning ...

[@sprinter440]

What an amazing voice. Also a very good actor

[@anon6116]

So very rare, real and shining pure talent.

[@ximbirdie]

Mom told me to check him out singing when she saw I was watching Criminal Minds :)

[@kayann513]

My dad said the same thing!

[@irislutwen.stanley4360]

My mom said the same!!!

[@Ciborium]

Best. Version. Of. "Over The Rainbow". EVER.

[@vs0522]

+S K This is good but I like Eva Cassidy's version better.

[@Riip2]

Judy Garland is incomparable.

[@SandSpock33]

'Because Cher's not here..' classic.

[@jimsatterfield8748]

A perfect performance...

[@rufus_the_cat]

I remember seeing this the night it aired and I never forgot it. I did not realize at the time he was an award winning Broadway star and played Montoya in princess bride.

[@thomascampr]

Saw this live and it blew me away . best of letterman. Mandy blew it out of the water!!!

[@davidpaul7563]

I'm not sure if anyone has ever nailed a song as he did with this. I watch it whenever I need a good cry.

[@Msaprilconquest]

[@kathrynpowell7109]

Totally joyful!

[@Zentz29]

I just found out today he sings. I just remember him from (& loved him in) Criminal Minds. Oh, & of course The Princess Bride. Still can't believe that was him!

[@Paola-mh9jo]

what a soft and kind soul Chris Carter must've been
