I’m so honored that “The Rainbow Connection,” as sung by yours truly in The Muppet Movie, is in the @LibraryCongress National Recording Registry Class of 2020!”
Performed by original Kermit the Frog puppeteer Jim Henson in The Muppet Movie, “The Rainbow Connection” was written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher.
Last year, Kermit revisited “The Rainbow Connection” with a special performance of the song posted on the official YouTube channel for The Muppets.
