In a world overrun with pretenders, Eva was the real thing. A voice still unmatched, and an amazing woman. We miss you, Eva.
Only the good die young, eh?
No disrespect intended to Chrissie Hynde, I’m sure.😊
@@jeremycrandall2899 Absolutely!
Miss her always
@@lauradehelian3966 Good Guys always die young😭
My mom is in the final stages of home hospice. She is ready for the train . This beautiful song is my comfort.
Hugs to you and your mom.
How is your mom?
@@ernestrodriguez8382Good place, attending an Eva Cassidy concert.
God bless Your mom.
And Eva Cassidy..
🌹
No bells or whistles, slinky sparkly dresses, just the voice which says it all.
The greatest female singer of all time!
❤
She was ready, but us earthlings hated to see her go...Eva, if you are looking down now...sing one in Heaven for me...okay? You had such a heavenly voice.
Don't worry, Eva, Aretha and Jeff are having a ball in Heaven.
Eva should be in the Hall of Fame where she is the ONLY member. She's in a class all by herself. Eva Cassidy, I was not aware of you when you were alive... and I will regret that for the rest of my life.
She's there all right..
FIRST TIME HEARING her version beautiful when did she pass my respect and blessings 🙌 🙏
Everytime I hear this......her time on Earth was so short ...we are never guaranteed anything....God Bless her and her family....
Some lucky people stumbled into this supper club and were treated to one of the best voices ever.
Seriously. I was thinking that, too. Little did they know they were walking into a truly historical event and that this sensational talent would be gone less than a year later.

I just shared this in a text with a friend...said, "Let me know what you think".
Her reply, "Not a jazz fan."
She must have read the description and decided she wouldn't like it...😒 unreal
People around DC and Maryland knew who she was
@@icy7647 Ever get her to listen to it?
Damn Skippy casper
I love it when newbies first hear Eva.get ready for a lot of late nights and tears,you can't stop listening to her voice once you start.👍👍👍👍a couple of hours listening to Eva is never a bad thing..enjoy
Paul Hyde hahaha so true
I first heard Eva in 08' the song been "time after time" I still get teary...
+Paul:H: Hyde Amen to that !
+Paul:H: Hyde This newbie just fell in love. I've only been listening to her for the last couple of hours and I'm not ashamed to say I've had tears rolling down my face. Such a beautiful, sweet, pure, devine voice
Alan, Your a man with a tender heart and I so love that.She sings like the Angels !
The first time I ever heard her sing I cried like a baby. What and amazing voice that reaches down into your soul.
Me too, it's beautiful ❤️
How can you not cry when Eva sings??
For me, one of the most unique and simply heart rendering voices of all time. Leaves one speechless
I prefer this to her over the rainbow one, great voice, she gets so much feeling in to it
I find myself watching her videos over and over. The fact that very few people knew her while she was alive still puzzles me. Rest in peace Eva.
I'm so sorry I never heard of her and a musician I worked with his son is the one that turned me on to her I love her voice I love her character and I love the accent she puts in her song so much feeling, I'm so sorry I didn't know her when she was alive what a loss this world has suffered
She didn't bow to the standard of cleavage and caking on makeup, that's a big reason why. I'm glad she said no thank you and did her own thing.
@@22RosesGrow🌹
Please come back so I can sit in the audience and listen to your beautiful voice just once in my life ❤❤❤
I would give anything to hear her sing ...cant wait to meet her in heaven..
Sadly, that's not how it works..
Diagnosed with recurrent melanoma in July 1996, Eva passed in November. A great talent, who never reached her full potential. I will always find it ironic that she didn't think people would like her voice. Imagine. She hated being recorded because of self-consciousness. So many recordings were often done without her knowing it was happening, to keep her at ease. I'm grateful for it.
Eva would look down at her feet as you're trying to find that one word to describe what her singing does to ya.... fantastic, phenomenal, beautiful, great, amazing, breathtaking....... one could never exaggerate anything about her; it all leads to, essentially, "speechless".
Kingscrib
I knew about the melanoma, but not the timeline or how she felt about her voice. Thank you for sharing.
Kingscrib
Amazing
I just discovered her, and she is gone. wow. Beautiful voice.
I know, right? I sometimes hold off telling people that she passed away, it's just too - words fail me. Too cruel. In every sense.
People talk about her beautiful voice, which is true, but sometimes I think they forget what a truly gifted guitar player she was ... A supreme talent ...
To sing that well and play that well at the same time, I don't know I've seen it in anyone else. Maybe prince 🤷♂️
The greatest female singer I ever heard ❤️🥀💙🌹💜🌻💚🌷💛💐🧡
Iv heard so many, but none of them as gifted as Eva.
Eva was unbelievably real. she will stay in my heart forever ❤
Me too
My 20yr old son passed recently. Music is the balm for your soul. So glad to hear this beautiful song over and over because it is so special like my "Big Boy"
😔👏🏻
🙏❤️🥀💜🌹💙💐 Peace and Love ❤️🥀
Sending love.
@@allisongyt need that! Many thanks. #Goodgood
Love is still being sent your way, Darlin. Praying for your precious heart ❤️
Man, what a voice. You can't teach this. Lord rest her soul. I never knew what happened. Sad news. She's performing for the angels now. Guarantee they are all sitting down listening.
"PEOPLE GET READY"..... THE MESSAGE IS LOUD & CLEAR .WHAT A VOICE 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh, it really is. I had heard this by several artists before and know what it means. We are in a SEVERE situation and the position we are in may as well be the real lyrics as they were written, for those circumstances.
With her presentation it turns from a "rough and tumble, fatal end" (as with many other artists), to a warning for a loving, bright future. Extremely powerful!
I first heard her sing on a TV report .I thought it was Reese Witherspoon
When out a few days later and got her cd.Amazing voice
What a loss to music.
The real test of any artist is just to get up and perform live without any studio drop ins and digital wizardry....Eva shines like the true star she is. R..I.P beautiful woman. Without a doubt the Angels will rejoice at your coming.
Amen to that😢❤
She's absolutely incredible. She sings with such power and yet its just effortless for her,she'll never be matched. RIP EVA. 🙏 🥰
Everything she sings melts like sweet butter over the eardrums.
Eva puts so much passion into every song she sings. If she sings about a train, you find yourself on that train. When she sings about fields of gold, you're walking through fields of gold. This can't be taught. It's a God given talent. And when it comes to the few people who have this talent, Eva Cassidy is far ahead of them all. RIP Eva.
Venom101002 beautifully said. She takes you there.
It may be something more than God-given talent. It may be voice of God speaking directly through Eva. Hard to explain it without something like that.
Voice of a our angel you don't need no ticket
What a beautiful comment. So very true.
Absolutely, I pray those golden gates opened up for this beautiful soul and if I'm so blessed to be welcomed in to heaven then maybe I can sing with her there, too.
Where have I been? This woman's voice is amazing. I heard her version Fields of Gold this weekend and flipped. She owns every song she sings. Such as shame her life was cut short.
What amazes me, is that some from the 50's/60's are terrified to listen to another artist performing something they know well, as though no one could do better than the first. That is just not so.
So sad that that many are so closed minded that they will let so much drift over their life without living it to the fullest. Eva was a perceptive, emotional, unassuming individual with a God given talent that has been bypassed by millions because of their own egos. Tears me to shreds.
i had a similar experience... i heard her on the radio a long time ago... i was at work and driving my truck... when i heard it i had to pull over to collect myself... i could not believe it...
she is one of the most incredible talents I had ever come across too. Thank god for my mum buying her Fields of Gold CD.
Yeah, she is in every song..and every song is hers
I played this for my mom when she was in a coma with multiple myloma. I would hold her hand and hope she could hear it. Eva has the most beautiful voice ever.
Idaho 2nd Gens I'm sure she heard it. Thank you for sharing that. God Bless You.
beautiful
I've seen many injustices ... but this one, eva cassidy not being recognized in life, is crazy, one of the most beautiful and expressive voices in the world.
THE BEST I NHEAVEN NOW..
Definitely one of the greatest voice you'll ever hear
i've got a big feeling eva's ministry and influence is going to effect the earth after she's in heaven .we ain't seen nothing yet. it's just going to grow .and grow and grow.AND GROW
She just didn't get the spotlight at that time but rest assured she would have. Rip sweet voice
She was a beautiful person with a wicked sense of humor...I miss her...
You were lucky to be her friend
MY wife and I were there at Blues Alley for her CD release concert, and had a very brief chat with her about the time we had seen her with Chuck Brown. What a sweet, lovely woman with the voice of an angel.
Yes, we were. She autographed CDs for us and for my sister.
What a great blessing!
She's one person I would have loved to hear in person.
Both of you are so lucky, you met a woman with an angelic voice.
Can you share some more memories of the concert ?
Would be very keen to hear.
Did you recognize at that time you were part of an historic concert???
Possibly the best female vocal artist of our time! Love her voice, her spirit, her soul!
Having a tough time trying to think of anyone in recording history who has been or is better...Eva was/is no. 1, hands down.
I don't know if I want to go there. But I'll tell you what. The list of people with talent on her level is EXTREMELY short.
Pitch perfect….always. Simply beautiful
I discovered this amazing woman with a beautiful voice while staying in a bed and breakfast on the northern coast of California what a talent what a loss
Smiles, so so beautiful Katie, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺 😊
She died almost an exact 10 months after this recording! I first heard of her when my two oldest were little around 1999. I saw the story on Dateline or 20/20. I was in tears! I rediscovered here once the internet took off a couple years later. She has a haunting beautiful voice. It's like she knew she would be here long and she just sang...thanks God she did. Tore my heart in the TV special when they shared that she was in pain and in her last days when she performed for the last time at a benefit friends were holding for her. She sang "What a Wonderful World". Wow!
I don't think I've ever heard anything more breathtaking.
Her version of Somewhere over the rainbow....she owns it!
I've made similar comments I'm sure ..this version is even better than Curtis Mayfield's ...purely down to her vocal delivery !
TerriLee Holm literally all her music is. It’s wild
Yes.You MUST listen to Fields of Gold. I sob through the whole song
If the time machine I’m building ever works, my first journey will be back to this angelic performance at Blues Alley…blending in with that ultra lucky audience and sitting inconspicuously where my river of tears will hopefully go unnoticed.
Scoot over, you’re not going without me!!!
the best female voice ever
Except for Arethas..
One of the best singers of all time and she’s still so underrated
How anyone could thumbs down 👎🏻 this is beyond me
RIP Eva & thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world 🌎
Agree. Check out this cover.th-cam.com/video/caLwwIayyY8/w-d-xo.html
My God, she was incredible.
My favorite female singer of all time!
Don't be dismayed, go listen to Aretha!
An ephiphany moment - a song about the upcoming tribulation and the saving of of the faithful - I have been listening to this song for 3 decades without realising i's significance - Matthew chapter 24. Thank you Eva.
Tears of joy, every time I hear her marvelous, soulful voice!!
I was a fan of hers since the very beginning. Maybe the best thing about living in the D.C. area back then, she got played by some of the radio stations around there.
look how that guitarist is feeling all this! Loverly...R.I.P. but keep singin Eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we LOVE you
Heaven has a singer whose voice is wow.......
Eva was the soundtrack playing in my dad's final few weeks of life. We shared a love for her music and I recorded 'i know you by heart' to be played at his funeral Xx her music always bought an atmosphere of peace
Awww, so sorry about your loss Anna, my deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
THANK YOU for this!!
50 years ago this week Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions hit the charts with People Get Ready. Nobody ever did it better... until Eva. One take. Live. As close to perfect as a song can be.
That's one thing I love about her version of Over The Rainbow, one daggone take, done live and it's spectacular. I have no idea how many takes Judy Garland's version took and it really doesn't matter because both are excellent versions, but one take!
For Eva
... in Memory from unknown Human from Eastgermany
"In my end is my beginning.....
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploration
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
T.S.Eliot 1942
We don't know our destiny
Our souls live from the memories we have
to people we loved or love.
Remembering things we did for you when we did yours
opened our hearts.
Eva touched my heart in July 2021, it is
Color of her voice that lets us see her heart.
A great gift for me.
Thank you Eva
Dankeschön Eva Cassidy, God Bless You
I don’t know how this woman escaped my music knowledge. Absolutely amazing, thank goodness her Voice lives on
Same here…right on!!!
She escaped many because she died before she got big
I agree with you 100% I've been singing in the bands since I was 14 years old and I've never heard of her what a loss I have suffered one of the greatest singers I've ever heard the feeling that she puts out in her voice is amazing so sorry I never got to hear her live or meet her. May you rest in peace
BEAUTY, in every sense. ❤🧡💛💚🤎🖤
Will always be listening to Eva. Beauty unspoiled by the glitter of material success. "Thank the Lord"
This is easily her best vocal performance. It's energy is source directly from the center of the universe. It is everything that is contained in one song
I mourned for Eva ,when I discovered her and discovered she had died. Her story really touched me. She is the best emotive female vocalist ever !
This is mesmerizing. I remember the first time i heard this i was floored. One if the best voices I've heard if not the best.
Probably the best mate.
Man me to ! Sat there in my truck and cried like a baby , while ' fields of gold ' came up on the radio . Couldn't think nor seek for a while , just feel that voice . Unbelievable. RIP little girl , still love ya'
love to share this with you .one of our gems . Judith Durham - Just A Closer Walk With Thee . 2 versions .one from 1966 th-cam.com/video/3Ou6SpbU600/w-d-xo.html and 2009 th-cam.com/video/OrXur4qBrwc/w-d-xo.html
What a soulful, angelic voice. We should remember her as one of the greats. R.I.P. angel.
That's like.. Jeff Beck guitar-playing and Aretha vocals!!!
Thank The Lord for Eva Cassidy.
I firmly believe that 500 years in the future, people will still be singing and listening to this song.
If humans make it that far
the song is older than she is so duh
Troll and you are the dumb one. Your statement makes no sense at all.
Beautiful, soulful, deep, loving, pure, and spiritual. God has her now in heaven; asking her to sing it again, one more time.
This girl could SING whether it was blues, jazz, R&B, gospel, pop, or soul. Major labels wouldn't sign
her because she was so eclectic. They wanted her to choose a genre. She refused. It wasn't until
a D.J. in England played her rendition of "Over the Rainbow." All of a sudden Eva became a hot
commodity. By then it was too late, she was diagnosed with cancer, and the world lost a brilliant
talent. You can hear her music here on TH-cam. R.I.P. Eva Cassidy, and thank you!
The first time I heard this was in Church at a Military Boot Camp in NZ. Never Forget it. God Bless.
Just an unbelievable voice and soul. Wonderful guitarist ad well. Everything she sings brings tears. Incredible.
We will have to get on that train at some point in time, I hope I am sitting next to Eva…
Lovely!
I cry when I watch her...this gift...gone too soon, too soon...loving your soul Eva
Just incredible! EVA RIP, you were the best!
God called her home early to sing to the angels. Forever in our hearts.
What a beautiful way to put it 🙏🏻❤
Yes sir she is truly singing with the angels.
❤ this comment.
totally agnostic here and love this song. 😊
That memory of listening to Eva Cassidy in the Land Cruiser in Nairobi, Kenya when I was little took me way down Memory Lane.
Gorgeous voice and listen to the message.
I'm so happy to know that people are still finding this wonderful woman, talent and singer!!!! She was not just a talent on making songs hers....she was talented on her own songs.
She's the best singer I have ever heard. Hands down.
Every once and a while, the Good Lord slips one of his angels here for a bit, then calls them back because He misses them so much. This time, he left us something wonderful behind in case we missed her while she was here, and we are fortunate, so very fortunate for that.
She takes you to another place. I’m no longer sitting in my livingroom. I am in an open field, in the sun, arms out, spinning….
R.I.P girlfriend you were amazing
Smiles, so so amazing Leslie, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺
Ms. Eva Cassidy, you were taken from us much too soon. :-( So Pure & Perfect........
Eva left quite a blessing for healing this world.
This was at Blues Alley in Washington, DC. I don’t remember the year, but the performance was extra special. R.I.P.
I listened to Eva as a child. And now at 21, I'm listening to her again. It was my mum who had introduced me to her music. And not too long ago, she passed away. It's uncanny realising how my mum had listened to her music then, and not knowing that only years later, she would die of the same thing Eva did. God loves her more, I sincerely feel. Coming back listening to Eva is comforting and reassuring at times like this.
Can you believe I heard about this wonderful singer only last night! Blows me away. Taken from us too soon but what a legacy!
When I need a good cry, Eva Cassidy is my go-to playlist.
2021 I can feel this song in my bones! I’m ready father please count me worthy !
Smiles, hi Valerie 🌺 😊
she sings pure truth and no time for keeping on sinners, its all about love
One of the rare artists who have both a great voice AND the emotion and musicality to realize its full potential. Eva's a true gem.
Music, and particularly Eva, will remove trauma from your soul. You may cry, but that might be what is necessary. So love her ability.
Magnificent voice without all the vocal acrobatics young singers resort to these days. Gone much too soon.
Too good for this world, clearly.
The most amazing singing voice I have ever heard
I listened to at least 5 other versions of this song by artists Alicia Keys, Joss Stone, Al Green and more. Your rendition is BY FAR the BEST!
Saundra Grange did you listen to the original by Curtis Mayfield?
Areatha Franklin
Love Eva's version. Love this one too: th-cam.com/video/SN42CaB9xHw/w-d-xo.html
Chambers Brothers
Kenny Rankin has a good one. th-cam.com/video/JfgWX9kY1vY/w-d-xo.html
The first time I’d heard of Eva Cassidy was on a Nightline special many years ago after she’d already passed from stomach cancer. I immediately went and bought Songbird the next day. She sang songs that complimented her voice and style. I’m glad her music is still cherished so many years later. The best singer you never heard of.
Eva was a gift. She definitely left us to soon. RIP
Even now I still remember listening to this those long drives in Germany when I was stationed there oh so many years ago … thank you Songbird for ur life and the joy U gave
Very beautiful spiritual. The train is coming, people get ready!
Eva Cassidy would have to have one of the best voices of any human being in the world!
How can this be live? Its too stellar and graceful for us mortals....
A rare Voice with clarity, purity, expressive..passed so very soon and desperately missed
Effortless Celestial singing and playing the guitar at the same time . No words to describe this angel on earth. no wonder heaven demanded her too soon
This is one of my favorite songs. Thanks to those who brought Eva's rendition to my attention. She sang with so much passion. The way she ad-libs at the end...she owned it! To think this performance was just months before she passed away...all I can say is 'wow'.
It's nice to see a venue where the audience is respectful of the musician, no talking over the song, no people there who lack any kind of self control, making goofy vocalizations shouting "YeeeeHaaaa" and "Wooooooh", and no drunks wandering up to the front of the stage to block everyone's view. This is definitely not in Texas, Alabama, or any other southern state.
Once in a lifetime comes along a voice like Eva, R.I.P. Eva Cassidy.
I never heard of Eva Cassidy before..! Wow I'm blown away by her voice and soul as she sings. Love her singing ''People get ready'' Eva has touched my spirit so deeply. Now I've put on her my favorite list.Your light is shinning brighter than ever Eva right around the World
God bless you.
@@gordondeprest Amen
Maybe ..... just maybe, the world will catch on to what these lyrics really mean now. If anyone could do this, it would be Eva. The tenderness is obviously the word of God being poured over us like syrup on a pancake. We have to let go of the past and our perceptions of history, if we are going to see the beautiful future. I know where Eva is and what she is doing.
SO touching.
good lord I could sit and just listen to this woman all day one of my favorite songs sing Eva
What a great reminder to do everything possible to share the gifts we were given while we can. Too soon, Eva, too soon.
This is a truly one of the most beautiful songs ever...and boy does Eva do it justice !! Just Stunning !! I Looked to see if she tours Australia !!! OMG I just looked up and saw she died in 1996 was way too young ! well maybe heaven needed her more... a voice of an Angel...I am sure she is singing to all in Heaven. Thank you Eva for your wonderful music you left for us to enjoy Love from Melbourne Australia Xx
