It is an incredibly rare gift for a singer to take a song we've heard sung by so many others for so many years, and sing it as if we'd never heard it before--to take those same words and music and reach down inside of us and touch our very souls. Eva Cassidy did that with this and so many other songs. She was incredibly rare; her talent a gift from God
The only reason TH-cam was invented was so that the most beautiful voice ever could be introduced to the world. A big thank you to who ever made this possible.
Amazingly, she takes a song; adds her heart, harmonies, crescendos and decrescendos in unique places throughout the song, and in the process, she makes it's hers. Best singer/arranger/stylist/songwriter I've ever heard in my 70 years: Eva Cassidy!!!
This came on the radio when I'd never heard her before....unbelievably beautiful voice...I went to buy it straight away...shocking that she had already died!!!
She turned this into something I didn't know it could be. It's as if the true song had been locked away all these years, only later to be set free by Eva.
Until I heard Eva Cassidy singing this, it always sounded trite. She brings the impact of a moment in time that altered someone's life. Beautifully done!!
There are very few who can do this piece it's one of my favorites I loved to watch my parents dance to this when I was a child and Eva you nailed it . Suddenly I was a little boy again.you have such a young heart and an old soul . You are greatly missed our loss was heavens gain. R.I.P.EVA AND MERRY CHRISTMAS THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU LEFT US THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE. James RNR TORONTO ONTARIO CANADA
I am so happy listening to Connie francis, Norah jones, Reeina del Cid and to Colm Wilkinson but Eva Cassidy's version is the best in my opinion ... .. . I cried listening to this Tennessee Waltz.
I believe this is the original, from 1950 ... OF course, nowadays, people have to electronically jazz stuff up. This has some kind of digital delay on it. th-cam.com/video/5c-rVoBdZDE/w-d-xo.html
She sings the songs like they are actually hers. Whoever wrote that song would truly smile if they hear this version. Same with all of Eva’s covers. They equal or better the originals.
My goodness what a different arrangement. I like it so much. And I don't see much talk about Eva's playing. She certainly has her own way with the guitar and chooses beautiful chords.
Have we all been there ? For all of us that were lied to, cheated on, deceived - gain inspiration and strength, from Eva's beautiful voice and legacy x
Brings back wonderful memories of my late father who passed away 20 yrs ago this week ... this was his favourite song and one of the last gifts I gave him was a CD with Patsy Cline singing Tennessee Waltz ... thank you for sharing Eva Cassidy's version ... she was such an amazing ' songbird ' and tragically her life was cut short by Melanoma ... I can't listen to her without crying but it is a good kind of cry ... RIP Eva
This was my Dad's favorite song also. He past away last year at the age of 91. I can still hear him humming this song. I cry when I listen. I miss him very much.
I was dancing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to meet I introduced her to my darling And while they were dancing My friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz I know now just what I have lost Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin' That beautiful Tennessee Waltz I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz I know now just what I have lost Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin' That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh, sweet. My gracious. First heard this in the early '50s from Patti Page. This is so sweet. Got sort of a Bob Dylan phrase timing on it ... This woman had such a gorgeous voice.
This is a sad song. I remember Patty Paige singing this song when I was a child (back around 1950). It was New Years Eve and my mom's friends delivered my mom home totally drunk. I'd never seen her drunk before. My grandmother railed and and yelled and screamed for a couple of days. To a kid the whole thing was scary. I have never liked New Years nor my birthday. Ironically, New Years is my birthday. Never told anyone this before and here I am blatting this on TH-cam
The correct spelling is PAGE. I once made the same error myself when posting a comment on the video of this song by Webb Pierce (my favorite version), on the 2packs4sure channel.

Everyone has been posting reaction videos to Eva's rendition of Over the Rainbow, which is great but I wish they would react to lesser known songs like this. Glad she is getting more attention now.
I was dancing with my darling To the Tennessee waltz When an old friend I happened to meet I introduced her to my darling And while they were dancing My friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember the night And the Tennessee waltz I know now just what I have lost Yes I lost my little darling The night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee waltz I remember the night And the Tennessee waltz I know now just what I have lost Yes I lost my little darling The night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee waltz Oh the beautiful Tennessee waltz
I'm a 51 year old British soldier learning the guitar though I try extreme I have no vocal talent not to mention I feel extremely embarrassed to try as Kermit the frog used to say it's not easy being green the beautiful eva never lived to know she became a famous angel so sad such a beautiful voice right up there with the late Carolin carpenter 💞
はじめまして。もっと早くに彼女の歌声に会いたかったです。TH-camで、大好きな思い出の映画「サンシャイン」を探しあて、ジョン·デンバーの「My sweet lady 」聴いていたら、同時に彼女の「Fields of gold 」が映画と合わせて視聴できて、それから虜になりました。毎晩アルバムをTH-camで聴いています。１枚はまずCD買ってしまいました。この曲入ったアルバムも欲しくなりました。彼女の歌声にドはまり中の私です。
The album is Imagine "Imagine is the third studio album by American singer Eva Cassidy. Released in 2002, six years after her death, it peaked on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 at No. 32, and was her second U.K. No. 1 album"

There wasn’t a song that Eva didn’t sung better than anybody else. Forever the most touching and haunting voice I EVER heard. RIP Angel of Song
Did you hear the version of Alma Cogan?
This came on the radio when I'd never heard her before....unbelievably beautiful voice...I went to buy it straight away...shocking that she had already died!!!
She will be singing Fields of Gold at my funeral !!!
@@jennydewis5847Good choice!
When the world loses someone this gifted, songs like this make your heart ache and your tears flow!!
Try listening to her sing "Danny Boy" without tearing up. She is singing about death, and it's hard not to think of hers.
Voice of an Angel
It sucks to discover an amazing artist after her passing. I wish I could've seen her in concert.
When she hits certain notes, I get chills. So beautiful…
Her voice is perfection!! An angel lived among us!
She turned this into something I didn't know it could be. It's as if the true song had been locked away all these years, only later to be set free by Eva.
She had one of the purest voices I ever heard. A magnificent instrument and so deeply evocative. A tragic loss to the world.
Until I heard Eva Cassidy singing this, it always sounded trite. She brings the impact of a moment in time that altered someone's life. Beautifully done!!
Her voice and singing style is flawless! Such a beautiful woman and talent!
you are *SO* right
Yes, all respect to others who've done this, but I never found any real meaning in it until hearing Eva. It's as if the song was waiting for her.
@@GRJ-uz7kf *SPOT ON*
Always been a favorite song of mine. Eva sung this so great. She has such a unique lovely voice.
What a talented vocalist! She can create another new style of singing for an old song. Love her sensational voice!
Her voice will last forever
Where I live this is the national anthem. She's the best. RIP
Eva's Version is most Definitely the Best, RIP Eva
I love her rendition better than any I've heard.
It's the best Betty
Without a doubt the most moving and beautiful version of this song.
Thank you Eva, you toughed my heart
“Eva Cassidy you sing Tennessee Waltz beautifully “
That wonderful voice..... it often stirs me to tears ... I love it. You're gone now .... but in my heart you are still there. Thanks
She would have been able to turn "Happy Birthday" into something original and unforgettable.
This is the way it should be sung
This women would be a worldwide sell-out anywhere. So sad that she died so young.
I first heard this lady in 2000 and bittersweet was the emotion then through to now. So much more sweet than bitter though :-)
Mannn soo talented!! Wish she was still with us
36. I kept thinking that all through that year.
I don’t think Eva would have coped with fame .

So much sadness in her voice...it really makes the song.

That's for sure,
I fully Agree
Try Anne Murray. Also the song "Could I Have This Dance".

just heavenly sweet eva
Absolutely love her singing! So sad she had such a short career. Thank you for sharing your songs!❤
Beautiful voice. RIP Eva Cassidy.
Really beautifull version ;sung from the heart what a talent taken from us far too soon
This is the best version ever! So poetic!!... Wow...
Great song, Eva gives it her heart and soul but no - one can beat Sam Cooke, ever
The most beautiful version, Eva Cassidy nailed this one. My very favorite song when I was young.
Legend. April 2024 xxxxRIP. 🙏❤️
the best version that I have ever heard just love it
Check out Sam cooke version, too. Weird they both died at 33.
2024 and i still coming back for this..who else is with me?..
Me too! What a voice… fantastic range of power and dynamics ….unique! ❤
Patti Page's original hit of this song doesn't even come close!
Me!!! Love her voice.
Voice of an Angel!
My goodness what a different arrangement. I like it so much. And I don't see much talk about Eva's playing. She certainly has her own way with the guitar and chooses beautiful chords.
I hadn't heard this version until my grandfather's funeral yesterday. beautiful.
I've heard her performances with her band, but I prefer when it's just her and her guitar.
I love that she would put her own style into these old favorites !!
One of the best versions.
I love this song. Reminds me of my childhood. My mom use to play this song. She had a band. And brings back memories. God Bless you.
Beautiful!
Oh my God, she was spectacular in everything she sung. Bring Kleenex; you might need them. Pure gold
Like being gently hugged, so hope to meet her when she is resurrected!
She gave us her best. Thank you Eva.
Simplement envoûtant ...un rêve , une vie , une tristesse envoûtante
Siempre escucho tus canciones , por que para mí, estas aquí,❤❤
Have we all been there ? For all of us that were lied to, cheated on, deceived - gain inspiration and strength, from Eva's beautiful voice and legacy x
Comments not needed.
This is great.👍👍👍🇸🇪😎💕
So incredibly beautiful. I wish I had known her. Behind that beautiful voice must have been a beautiful soul.

so sad for your loss. But that is a truly beautiful gift and a beautiful memory for you to have. Tennessee waltz is one of my favorites as well.

Her voice was wonderful!
Total Love for Eva!!
I was dancing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my darling
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost

Thank you
What a beautiful voice you have.. I still listen to this song in 2019 :')
Beautiful voice..love her
Oh, sweet. My gracious. First heard this in the early '50s from Patti Page. This is so sweet. Got sort of a Bob Dylan phrase timing on it ... This woman had such a gorgeous voice.
She did a beautiful version, the only version I can tolerate for this song. Not too country or twangy. Love it.

Best song by Eva
KIAN HUA LIEW I agree with you, best song Eva sang x
Patti Paige did the original as far as I can remember. Eva does a beautiful version of this song. Such a beautiful voice.

My dear Eva Cassidy this is one of my favorite songs which i raised on this version is phenomenal and you are phenomenal thank you ma'am
She is singing in Heaven I'm sure
I'm an atheist, but in the event that I'm wrong, I can imagine her and Patsy Cline doing this as a duet in the heavenly choir.
I love you Eva.
Beautiful rendition. Thank you for posting!
Everyone has been posting reaction videos to Eva's rendition of Over the Rainbow, which is great but I wish they would react to lesser known songs like this. Glad she is getting more attention now.
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song

Such a clear voice
I heard this song 40 years ago.my mum sang this she's 80 now molly malone
Eva has such a beautiful voice and very emotional song!!
Så bra vilka toner , så musikaliskt Kram
Her and Tom Jones are my 2 favorite versions of this song.
I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my darling
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night
And the Tennessee waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee waltz
I remember the night
And the Tennessee waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee waltz
Oh the beautiful Tennessee waltz
Best version ever.

Eva, ta voix merveilleuse chante comme une brise douce, légère et caressante. Elle reste pour toujours l'émanation de ton âme charmante.
The album is Imagine
"Imagine is the third studio album by American singer Eva Cassidy. Released in 2002, six years after her death, it peaked on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 at No. 32, and was her second U.K. No. 1 album"
I would love to hear Eva Cassidy, Roseanne Cash, and Alison Krause sing this together.
