    I went to high school with her. Really didn't know her that well. I knew her father. He was a sculptor, cellist, and in his time one of the strongest men in the world. But I know people that were close to her and nobody has anything bad to say about her. She was an exceedingly kind person.

    For me she is the best female singer of all time. I know there are soul queens and R&B stars, even going back to blues era with Etta, but Eva is haunting .. it’s beautiful and haunting. Best voice I’ve ever heard

    • @simoncarswell3515
      @simoncarswell3515 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      It's worth remembering that Eva had a slight cold when this was recorded, and was reluctant for it to be released because she thought she wasn't sounding her best. So this is Eva's voice not at 100%. And it's still incredible!

    After the guitar break, from 3:40 on - she just totally changes the dynamics of the song into a blues run. It's just so fascinating. It's an angelic version of Joplin.

      I'm so glad I'm not the only one who heard this in her voice. She was like Janis, only a little smoother and staying at home in the upper register. Beautiful and fiery. It's a damned shame she didn't live longer. The songbirds colors had to bless heaven again I guess. I'm jealous.

    Something I've never understood about truly amazing singers - how do they belt out a gut wrenching tune like this and not fall apart blubbering in the middle of it? I think I know the answer - practice, practice, practice. I couldn't do it though (if I could sing, that is, lol). Eva just rips me wide open and my emotions come pouring out. She was truly amazing, and we all lost an incredible talent, most of us before we even knew who she was.
