She went to my high school, and graduated 2 years ahead of me, same year as my brother. I first heard her at a coffee shop that my high school was sponsoring. For a moment after she sang, you could have heard a pin drop. Then the place went nuts. She was so reserved and sweet. My brother saw her at one of her last performances before she died. She didn't want to take a break, she wanted to keep singing.😓

Her love of gardening, particularly with her mother, her fair skin, and a mole discovered too late with a rare and very aggressive form of skin cancer is tragic on many levels. People are not supposed to be dying of skin cancer!!

@hillsane9262 8 месяцев назад

Messaged someone that said they were at the performance. As the club watched her struggle to get on stage and then singing "What A Wonderful World", there hardly a dry eye in the house. Also found out the initial skin cancer, a doctor treated it. It was believed they had gotten it. The doctor supposedly said they thought they got it and the prognosis looked good. After one follow up appointment and being told the no signs of the cancer having spread, she made no more appointments. From the Iris Independent: "Reassured by the apparent success of her operation, Eva didn't attend the follow-up appointments in the months after it. "They wanted to do regular check-ups but she didn't go because she thought it was unnecessary. She thought everything had been taken care of," recalls Hugh."

When you learn about her life story you’ll appreciate her gifts, her beautiful performances, even more. She died of cancer at the too young age of 33 & her talent only became known to the multitude of her fans after her untimely death. Fortunately, a few people in the music industry & her family worked to memorialize her beautiful genius for all of us to enjoy! Thank you for Honoring this Angel !

@Coastal Co Not necessarily. A lot of artists have songs that they performed first but weren’t written by them including Elton John and especially Elvis. They are still considered originals. I guess if depends on how much influence the performer has on the direction. With Elton John he basically got the lyrics and a vague idea and sang and did the instrumentals around that.

Get a therapist bro! Jk, it’s a beautiful song 😊 The songs that get me emotional like that are emotional to begin with and also have a memory tied to them. Not a tear jerker but the most emotional song for me is Mr. Tamborine man by Bob Dylan. I tripped with a friend of mine at my house with a few sober friends over back in high school when I first heard this. This was before we all went off from high school. And that song was just perfect. Always gives me an indescribable feeling of being OK with life.

@anitaboyd1918 2 года назад

Beautiful spirit! My uncle and I were in old Town Alexandria VA and heard that Eva was going to be playing her guitar and singing so we stopped by. The building where she was performing was divided into two businesses - a shop downstairs and tiny restaurant upstairs. It was definitely close quarters. There were probably 10 people plus Eva in that tight space. My uncle and I sat closest to her. So close that we felt her voice envelope us - it's hard to describe, but it's like an ice cold glasses of water washing over you in desert heat. Smooth, soothing, innocent. So, we became Eva fans after listening to the duet cd titled "The Other Side" that she accomplished with Chuck Brown (Godfather of go-go). We brought the liner notes from their cd hoping we'd get to give her - her flowers while she was still here. Of course we told her how in awe we were with her beautiful voice and asked if she'd sign the liner notes for us. So gracious and appreciative, she said of course. Then she began thanking us for listening to her so attentively. She asked our names. Eva wrote, "Mark and Anita thank you for listening to me while everyone else was talking loudly :)." You guys have to just do an Eva Cassidy listening party! Try her "Eva Cassidy Live at Blues Alley" cd. Gone too soon!!

Mick Fleetwood tells the story of setting up a meeting for Eva with a record exec in NYC. When he asked her how it went she said "nothing came of it". Turns out they wanted to sign her but they also wanted to make her "more marketable". So glad she stuck by her vision. There's a purity in every one of her recordings that we might never have had the chance to hear if she'd chosen the easy route.

Eva always makes me go to emotional places with her renditions. I can only think of how sad it was that we lost her at such a young age.

@maggiemoran7747 2 года назад

If I’m not mistaken, I think this was her very last performance a few weeks before she died of cancer at 33. She’s singing about heaven with such feeling here because she knew her prognosis was very poor

This is absolutely my favorite rendition of this classic song. !!!! Please listen to her version of "Fields of Gold" - no one sings it better. It takes my breath away.

Thank you so so much for reacting to Eva!! She was something very special. Not only is her tone lovely, but her phrasing is genius. Died way too young. R.I.P. Every song she ever recorded is amazing, but one of my other favorites of hers is Autumn Leaves. Fields of Gold is also gorgeous.

Actress Judy Garland was the first to sing this in 1939's Wizard of Oz. The song was written for the movie. (I personally think it's the BEST rendition.)

@donnalawrence4666 2 года назад

I totally agree. This is pretty but not Judy Garland.

They are so different that they can’t really be compared…Eva’s version is essentially a lullaby.

So do I. You have to do something really special to take Judy off the top tier for her version of this song and no one has done it yet for me.

@ChicagoDB 2 года назад

Eva [yes…long E] shot to multi-platinum stardom when this song was played on a UK radio station shortly after she died of cancer in the USA. Soon after, all of her limited collection of recordings skyrocketed up music charts. You won’t find a song by her that isn’t absolutely fantastic! They are all incredibly soulful. My faves are her versions of “Tennessee Waltz” and “Fields of Gold”.

@PaulWilliams-ko5fu 2 года назад

The UK radio station was BBC Radio 2. Their breakfast show DJ the late Terry Wogan kept raving about it, and constantly played it. As he was the most listened DJ in Europe, as Radio 2 is the most listened radio station in Europe, this may have been why Eve Cassidy ended up with two posthumous number 1 albums in the UK.

I'll have to check that out ! The only version I've heard is Tuck & Patti 's. Her voice is about as pure as Eva's was - you definitely should check them out, if you haven't already. A husband & wife duo, not that famous, but top notch.

Eva Cassidy displays extraordinary sensitivity in rendering this iconic song, with an impeccable voice, remarkable phrasing and stunning musicianship. She is an brilliant artist in the truest sense of the word.

She is one of the greatest not well knowns. Sadly passed at a young age of melanoma. There are so many great interpretations she did. This is Great - so sad yet beautiful; a very different approach than the original. I’d recommend:: “What a Wonderful World” - yes same tune as your recent Louis Armstrong reaction. She does a beautiful version “Songbird” - gorgeous:
