My dear Catherine so loved Eva and played her all day long..as my wife was dying from Alizheiers I put my phone by her ear to listen to Eva the last time..we were married 61yrs and I miss her.
Your wife is listening to Eva Cassidy, Karen Carpenter, Aretha Franklin and Cass Elliot while sitting next to a Higher Audience. There IS a life after this.
Her voice just brings tears to my eyes-she was one of the most talented singers I’ve ever heard. She had the rare uncanny ability to make every song uniquely hers and special. I imagine angels in Heaven have voices like hers……Trisha in Texas 💃❤️🦮
It never ceases to amaze me how Eva could take any song and effortlessly make it her own. Such a tragic loss of life and talent. She changed the world for the better then left it far too soon. I can't help feeling a little twinge of sadness whenever I listen to her music. It's such a shame she never lived to enjoy the success and recognition her golden voice so deserved. There will never be another Eva Cassidy. She was truly unique.
She was discovered in London.Unfortunately she passed away stricken with melanoma(skin cancer). I was in North Dakota in 2001,a primary care physician alone so ebbed down when I heard her sing Fields of Gold.I searched for her story, accumulated all her cds I could get enough. Somehow Eva transcended everything .She makes every cells in my body jumped for joy and yet I feel like Eva is still with us. what a treasure to the world. Thanks Eva.
Paul G Eva takes it a step further. The way she interprets a song is on another creative level. She's able to maintain the essence of the song while totally making it her own. The decisions she makes in changing melody and timing are so tasteful and not over done. She was a very, very special talent.
Was a fan of Karen Carpenter but I felt there was a certain similarities in her songs .However Eva Cassidy had the ability to adapt her voice to particular songs .This is beautiful and she is the instrument. Karen Carpenter's version of "A Song For You" was a classic.
Thanks you John for a beautiful song and Eve for the best version. Eva you made every song you sang you own. Thank God you were recorded before your sad passing. RIP.
I am glad to been able to be ever so graced to have Miss Eva Cassidy to have entered MEIE life when she did. That she indirectly helped me stir the fire beneath some people's feet. That allowed them all to remember and embrace alll that she had taught the, by just knowing her. What a dynamic legend she had left..... Thank you for helping others heal and dared them to dream even bigger.
Her legacy will always be sewn into the Tapestry of my life. I am so grateful for the time she graced her sweet presence upon this earth. Rest Easy Darling One.
They say that she had the most perfect tone to her voice ever heard. I have to agree. When she sings she touches my soul and brings tears to my eyes. I think god must of wanted her for an Angel in his choir.
It is devastating to just discover this amazing soul inspiring angel, and realizing that I could have heard her live in the 90s, but didnt even know who she was.... Let's help keep her soul alive with our tears and goosebumps.
I've just discovered the angelic Eva Cassidy - must have been living in a vacuum - her voice is beyond compare without doubt the most accomplished vocalist I've ever heard
Tony Gadaleta@@@ It must be because, radio don't play her songs. Just mostly trash. I have another great singer for you. Selena Q. Perez, ever heard of her ?? The biggest American - Latin megastar and there is still a few people, that never heard about her. Even 20 years after her death. Check it out, you will love her.Just like 99% folks, after they see her and hear her sing...........
I came across her less than a week ago thanks to comments here on TH-cam. Truly a great singer. Finding Eva Cassidy is one of those things that makes wasting time on TH-cam a wise investment.
On the anniversary of John Lennon being killed, MTV listed its choice of the five best covers of his song “Imagine.” Eva Cassidy's version was listed, with this comment, “Released six years after her death (2002), this recording showcases Cassidy’s jaw-dropping voice above all else, which is why it’s such a great version of the song. Tender and heartbreakingly simple, it sadly remains - like most of her work - vastly overlooked.” Cassidy's version of "Imagine" was recorded at Chris Biondo's studio along with ten or twelve other songs as a demo tape to be pitched to local booking agents.
I just discovered Eva Cassidy...Wow, what an incredible voice, she had. I am so sorry that I didn't know about her when she was living. I would have moved to DC just to hear her. This is one angel, who lived among us.
Ron Elkind. Better late than never. You got to hear an angel from a another world singing with such purity and beauty. She just popped in to show us how that singing stuff works!
I wonder if people like Eva come forth for a short while just to raise the bar a little higher, yet without drawing too much attention to themselves and becoming too hard of an act to follow. For me, all her versions of these classics outshine the originals, and tend to be the standard I judge all other versions by. No doubt she could have done a dynamite arrangement of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida if she had felt inspired, yet oddly she is not a song writer, but one of the best vocalists ever.
Absolutely! Beautifully expresses how i feel about Her and Her gifts. [and am sure She did write songs also - they just didn't get the Light of Day] I feel her Guitar playing so wonderfully balanced Her voice
Some years ago I was attending an event that was just not going well. Taking a walk to get away for a bit...I heard this amazingly beautiful voice that stopped me and brought me in. It was Eva and I bought this very CD Album shown above and have LOVED it forever.
Eva never wanted fame and it wasn’t till her death did a DJ from England hear her songs and took them back to England and her songs were No 1 in a month. Sad she was a beautiful woman with a heaven sent voice. R I P Eva
As a guitar player / singer - she truly does both to the extreme with a voice that sounds like an angel, sometimes angry at times, and a talented guitarist she does soooo good ! ! !
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace, you You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one
What a glorious, gorgeous voice!! So beautiful and natural! (Since the advent of these cellphones/androids/whatever they're called; we have all gotten to hear these wonderful voices/great singers sans the phony/meddling jerk-offs who previously controlled them and truly ruined much beautiful artistry! Anyway, with all sincerity I'm so very grateful to lately be introduced to the beautiful voices of( among MANY others): Eva Cassidy, Joss Stone, Allie Sherlock, Christina Kateri.and so very many others! I am so very grateful and thankful!
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.
Sometimes you hear voices that are so pure and beautiful that you know they are angels. For me, two of those are Anita Carter and Eva Cassidy. My heart soars when I hear them singing.
This amazing version of such an iconic song, Eva Cassidy possessed a voice that is truly magnificent.. for me it has an *ETHEREAL BEAUTY*~ May she RIP 🎼🌹🎼
Her enchanting and hauntingly beautiful voice stops me me in my tracks every time i listen to her songs and I cant get enough after discovering her by accident just yesterday. Its truly amazing how a singer like Eva could have gone unnoticed for so long. Her voice & music has the ability to calm your mind, body and soul.
Stopped here Aug.2020 for a little peace from the chaos in our country. Eva can almost make you believe it's all possible, can't she. Gotta go now. But I know I'll have to come back soon .
The world continues to bring this song out - no matter who sings it - to particularly heart felt events. It's some of the most romantic music,making; intimate live to our minds and souls.
I just recently listened to Adam Levine covering Prince's Purple rain and Usher covering Marvin's What's Going On. In both cases, as much as I respected and loved Adam and Usher, their efforts in these attempts didn't even come close to the originals, imo. I felt these were two perfect examples of two iconic songs that, regardless of the immense talent of the artists trying to cover them, simply could not be satisfactorily covered by ANYONE. They were songs that were utterly Prince and Marvin. Period.I believe that Eva's rendition here is one of those very, very rare instances where a cover outshines the original version of a truly iconic song. In fact, in not only outshines it, it blows completely away. I really can't think of another cover- of an iconic song- that's even in this league. Absolutely beautiful. I believed every word...

Her singing gives me hope that all of this country’s current drama will work out. Perhaps that’s what this sweet angel was sent here to do; give us lovely, hopeful music while we wait. God bless you lovely Eva. Fly high true angel. Thank you to Eva’s family for sharing this with us. I’m not surprised that you would share this with people you don’t know. Eva’s lovely. I can imagine you are all but a matched set as my Daddy used to say. Thank all of you so much as well. I will forever be grateful. 💐
John Lennon's song has always stopped me in my tracks. It leaves me breathless. Here, Eva Cassidy adds another dimension of beauty and hope to the classic.
For me, this song always belonged to John Lennon. Many covers over the years i regarded as tainting a masterpiece, today i change my opinion, listening to Eva's version has made me see that even the beautiful sentiments of this song can be improved by a beautiful voice. What a great pity it is that Eva isn't around any more improving masterpieces.
노래를 들으며 그녀의 앨범표지를 보면 푸르른 들판에서 바람을 맞으면 지난날 내 과거의 헛된 욕심과 허영심을 날려버리고 편안히 잡념없이 살곳싶다는 생각에 눈시울이 붉어지네요. 모든게 시간이 지나면 후회되고 끝인것을... 나의 옛 순수성을 망각하고 현재 황폐해진 내 욕심의 무게를 저 하늘에 던져버리고 싶네요. 이제 주변을 살피고 현재 주어진것에 감사하며 살고자 합니다.
There is no heaven but there is an after-life. It is in what has touched other people who then take the experience forward into their own life, such as the nourishing hope of the words and the beauty of the voice. I swim in the warmth of this. Thanks for uploading.
We don’t have to imagine a beautiful world. When Eve awakens from death, she will find the earth just like this song expresses. Won’t she be delighted to use her lovely voice to express her gratitude to her Creator for bringing her back to life to enjoy it forever, right here on earth when Paradise is restored.
Und wir tanzen gemeinsam im Kreis dazu❤... Wunderschön❤ Danke für diese wundervolle Version von dir. Irgendwann tanzen wir gemeinsam im Irgendwo❤❤❤ Liebe Grüße von Hilke Angela 🥰🥰🥰
I hear this song Imagine from Eva Cassidy in the night in the radio. She have a wonderful voice! Sorry for my english! Und ich habe in ihrer Biografie gelesen das sie jung verstorben ist. So eine junge Frau und ein Talent, die es verdient hätte länger auf der Erde zu bleiben. Für mich eine schöne, wundervolle Version vom Song Imagine! Ruhe in Frieden Eva Cassidy 🍃🕊🌹🍃🕊🌸🍃🕊🌹🍃🕊🌸🍃🕊🌹
That people could STOP KILLING EACH OTHER for whatever reason , religion, power,hood related conrol,jealously,road rage,desire, or whatever other reason ......? ..
Eva could have skated by on her God given angelic voice, or even her guitar playing - but she sang every song from the depths of her soul, interpreting phrases to give each song, line, word a new, often deeper meaning.
My dear Catherine so loved Eva and played her all day long..as my wife was dying from Alizheiers I put my phone by her ear to listen to Eva the last time..we were married 61yrs and I miss her.
❤️❤️❤️
That's so wonderful Robert. God bless you. 💝💝💝
Stay strong, pal.
A really sad comment Robert but heart warming too, thank you
Your wife is listening to Eva Cassidy, Karen Carpenter, Aretha Franklin and Cass Elliot while sitting next to a Higher Audience. There IS a life after this.
She must hear a song differently than the rest of us because her delivery of emphasis, emotion and notes is simply, simply beautiful.
Such Soft Tempo
I always feel that so much better for listening to Eva
She's a jazz singer. She sang so brilliantly!
she comforts me so much when I'm not well: Thank you Eva - She's an angel - Love
Lots of MEGA, MEGA SUPER STARS out there. Only 1 EVA CASSIDY. PERIOD.............!
If God could sing - this would be it.
Her voice just brings tears to my eyes-she was one of the most talented singers I’ve ever heard.
She had the rare uncanny ability to make every song uniquely hers and special.
I imagine angels in Heaven have voices like hers……Trisha in Texas
💃❤️🦮
She is gone so young, but she will never be forgotten.
It never ceases to amaze me how Eva could take any song and effortlessly make it her own. Such a tragic loss of life and talent. She changed the world for the better then left it far too soon. I can't help feeling a little twinge of sadness whenever I listen to her music. It's such a shame she never lived to enjoy the success and recognition her golden voice so deserved. There will never be another Eva Cassidy. She was truly unique.
"Effortless" I think is typical for her performances.
She was lovely and only 33 it makes me a little sad...but grateful for her music. And yes John would have loved her version of his wonderful song.
+1 - Well put, Irish !
She was discovered in London.Unfortunately she passed away stricken with melanoma(skin cancer). I was in North Dakota in 2001,a primary care physician alone so ebbed down when I heard her sing Fields of Gold.I searched for her story, accumulated all her cds I could get enough. Somehow Eva transcended everything .She makes every cells in my body jumped for joy and yet I feel like Eva is still with us. what a treasure to the world. Thanks Eva.
Fear not - Eva is fully enjoying what glory and fulfillment her gift gave her in this life. Enjoying it through the veil. :-)
When it comes to pure vocals, Karen Carpenter and Eva Cassidy were the best. Just pure voices
Celine and Barbara S too !!
Paul G Eva takes it a step further. The way she interprets a song is on another creative level. She's able to maintain the essence of the song while totally making it her own. The decisions she makes in changing melody and timing are so tasteful and not over done. She was a very, very special talent.
You nailed it Paul G.
Was a fan of Karen Carpenter but I felt there was a certain similarities in her songs .However Eva Cassidy had the ability to adapt her voice to particular songs .This is beautiful and she is the instrument. Karen Carpenter's version of "A Song For You" was a classic.
I always loved this song but as I'm much older now I listen to the words which all sounds nice and peaceful...but a world without God??
I can only imagine Eva and John singing this in harmony...
Nancy S. The best version ever
Nancy S. ....you've got a brilliant imagination....🦋✌🏻
What a beautiful thought
What a truly beautiful thought...
Reading down on all the comments, I too agree with those who see how special she is. Hard to comprehend how beautiful and human being can be.
Eva Cassidy singing touches my heart and soul. RIP Eva🙏
Eva and Karen Carpenter...you can never forget this voices
That moment when the voice you've been waiting to hear shows up.
I was so so sad to hear she's no longer with us
I imagine a day of just peacefully thoughts
Thanks you John for a beautiful song and Eve for the best version. Eva you made every song you sang you own. Thank God you were recorded before your sad passing. RIP.
I am glad to been able to be ever so graced to have Miss Eva Cassidy to have entered MEIE life when she did. That she indirectly helped me stir the fire beneath some people's feet. That allowed them all to remember and embrace alll that she had taught the, by just knowing her.

Eva had the most perfect Pitch, Notes and Tone.
unforgettable. Die Stimme eines Engels. So tragisch, dass sie so früh sterben muüßte. Ruhe in Frieden Eva.
It's true!!
Im the same too touches the heart and soul fully .
I am so grateful for knowing Eva long before she got sick, I value those memories.
Singing another person's song exactly as they sing it is a tribute to them, but making it your own is also a gift to them and to us.
John would be proud!! I think Eva and John are singing together in Heaven. God Bless her
It is devastating to just discover this amazing soul inspiring angel, and realizing that I could have heard her live in the 90s, but didnt even know who she was....

+kelhawk1 Damn good guitar player too!
+kelhawk1 I'm just not sure how the drum solo would have worked with her style. ;;-]
+Michael Pollock Heheehee! *Yes!*
She did write songs. Check them out. If she would've been signed I'm sure she'd release her own material.
Absolutely! Beautifully expresses how i feel about Her and Her gifts. [and am sure She did write songs also - they just didn't get the Light of Day] I feel her Guitar playing so wonderfully balanced Her voice
Every song sung by Eva is the best performance of that song - ever. Wish I had found her music years ago.
is it okay to have tears in my eyes while listening to this masterpiece?
Yes, it is.
Bikram Shrestha yes oh yes. Beauty heals.
absolutely!
Im there too my friend .
Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Be my guest.
Some years ago I was attending an event that was just not going well. Taking a walk to get away for a bit...I heard this amazingly beautiful voice that stopped me and brought me in. It was Eva and I bought this very CD Album shown above and have LOVED it forever.
It's hard to imagine the world without Eva Cassidy.
Allmost too beautifull. This kind of music makes world a better place to live.
I luv Eva Cassidy
exactly
some one should tell this to the 300 plus people who voted thumbs down!! NOW WE KNOW HOW MANY IDIOTS AND MORONS THERE ARE IN THE WORLD!!
Wonders what those thumb-downers and record companies were thinking? This girl could sing anything. An unbelievable talent.
Eva never wanted fame and it wasn’t till her death did a DJ from England hear her songs and took them back to England and her songs were No 1 in a month. Sad she was a beautiful woman with a heaven sent voice. R I P Eva
Such beauty, such harmony, Probably the best voice I've ever heard.
agree
True!!!
Yep.
As a guitar player / singer - she truly does both to the extreme with a voice that sounds like an angel, sometimes angry at times, and a talented guitarist she does soooo good ! ! !
She touches my heart in ways, no other performer does,, I pray she is happy where she is now,, 💓🙏
beautiful humans doing beautiful things. RIP Eva, you were a wonder of creation.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
What a glorious, gorgeous voice!!
So beautiful and natural!
(Since the advent of these cellphones/androids/whatever they're called; we have all gotten to hear these wonderful voices/great singers sans the phony/meddling jerk-offs who previously controlled them and truly ruined much beautiful artistry!

I am so very grateful and thankful!
This beautiful lady could sing anything .......any form of style ...just wonderful ❤❤❤❤xxx
God sends us angels occasionly so we may experience heaven on earth. Thank you for Eva. I would say the same of John. God bless.
Lord, but this woman was talented. Songbird and Imagine are my favourite covers of hers
This is for Eva, Anita, Angela and my half brother Alan Eva’s family. The 5 people you meet 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.
They say Eva was too shy to become the mega star she would have been !
Luckily we have her recordings to enjoy. 😍
Amen
Amen
I am just beginning to give my grand daughter, Hazel, music lessons. Eva will be on the early listening list to fill her sweet little mind.
Sometimes you hear voices that are so pure and beautiful that you know they are angels. For me, two of those are Anita Carter and Eva Cassidy. My heart soars when I hear them singing.
WOW! First time hearing this.John would be very proud.
Johns lyrics and Evas beautiful voice compliment each other so well? new arrangements by both? with the angels in heaven we hope?
as pure as fresh white snow,,,,,
John Lennon would have LOVED this for sure!!!
Imagine Lennon and Cassidy sings image together in heaven now , beautiful picture
"Imagine there's no Heaven"... I guess Lennon could not have imagined being there himself ;)
He's he would have appreciated it
LOL
@@RetroFan What's so funny?
Her own versions are golden and somewhat brings you to another space of time.
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!
She definitely has a perfect vocal voice
If you havent yet, lusten to Evas version of over the rainbow
Thank you Markbear… I love it xx
I discovered Eva very recently. Beautiful. Angelical. I love her voice-- and her. I am fortunate to be able to hear her songs. Thank you, Eva.
I 💘 Eva.
Lost for words one of the only artists who could take classic songs in ther own right and completely own the songs in her own style...lost for words.
This amazing version of such an iconic song, Eva Cassidy possessed a voice that is truly magnificent.. for me it has an *ETHEREAL BEAUTY*~ May she RIP 🎼🌹🎼
Just ridiculously a crystal clear voice with incredible emotion. Soooo sweeeet!!!! I just Love her! Thank you Eva!
I always love Eva. She can make me happy or sad. Truly talented angel.
When artists as this take u by the hand and u walk side by side through her message, you are forever changed.
💖
❤❤❤
Where ever she went ➖ that’s where I am going too ➖a songbird so greatly missed ➖ by a world so out of kilter 💥🦋💥
Her enchanting and hauntingly beautiful voice stops me me in my tracks every time i listen to her songs and I cant get enough after discovering her by accident just yesterday. Its truly amazing how a singer like Eva could have gone unnoticed for so long. Her voice & music has the ability to calm your mind, body and soul.
I can´t help, but everytime i hear her unearthly voice i get tears into my eyes. So beautiful.
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!
Me to it's a sign of compassion like if u look at a beautiful sunset or something aswell gives me tears sometimes
Yea, me too. Every time.
Stopped here Aug.2020 for a little peace from the chaos in our country. Eva can almost make you believe it's all possible, can't she. Gotta go now. But I know I'll have to come back soon .
One of the best songs ever written sung by one of the best singers ever
She was the best !
when I listen to Eva sing I barely hear any other musical instruments. it's as though there is no need for anything else but her.
Her voice is a musical instrument total class
The world continues to bring this song out - no matter who sings it - to particularly heart felt events. It's some of the most romantic music,making; intimate live to our minds and souls.

So, so beautiful.......thanks ....
Her singing gives me hope that all of this country’s current drama will work out. Perhaps that’s what this sweet angel was sent here to do; give us lovely, hopeful music while we wait. God bless you lovely Eva. Fly high true angel. Thank you to Eva’s family for sharing this with us. I’m not surprised that you would share this with people you don’t know. Eva’s lovely. I can imagine you are all but a matched set as my Daddy used to say. Thank all of you so much as well. I will forever be grateful. 💐
💎💎🎶🎶💖💖 MERVEILLEUSE EVA CASSIDY 💖💖🎶🎶💎💎
Why do such beautiful talents leave us so early in their lives. This dear girl was only in her thirties, but she has left a wonderful legacy.
Eva's interpretations of great songs are legendary.
Sleep well, beautiful Eva. Wherever you and John Lennon are now, you're still entertaining us down here.
⚜ TH🙏NK YOU FOR THE M🎧SIC ⚜🕊
John Lennon's song has always stopped me in my tracks. It leaves me breathless. Here, Eva Cassidy adds another dimension of beauty and hope to the classic.
Ramones
They say the young die young, Eva left a world that so needed her song, my favorite songbird for ever, Namaste dear Soul
For me, this song always belonged to John Lennon. Many covers over the years i regarded as tainting a masterpiece, today i change my opinion, listening to Eva's version has made me see that even the beautiful sentiments of this song can be improved by a beautiful voice. What a great pity it is that Eva isn't around any more improving masterpieces.
+Martin Cowley gone to soon... She was very talented
Couldn't agree more. Truly is a rare thing when one can cover a song this huge and make it even better. Far better...
So true. She was one of a kind. Incredible .
Improving masterpieces, that is impressive. Broken heart here. Rest easy Eva.
Martin Cowley her gift is the music she left behind A legacy

exquisite.
We don’t have to imagine a beautiful world. When Eve awakens from death, she will find the earth just like this song expresses. Won’t she be delighted to use her lovely voice to express her gratitude to her Creator for bringing her back to life to enjoy it forever, right here on earth when Paradise is restored.
Not long to go now x
I love you Eva ❤❤❤
Und wir tanzen gemeinsam im Kreis dazu❤... Wunderschön❤
Danke für diese wundervolle Version von dir.
Irgendwann tanzen wir gemeinsam im Irgendwo❤❤❤
Liebe Grüße von Hilke Angela 🥰🥰🥰
the best pure voice I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy
Sublime.....thank you both, dear departed ones
It is a day that feels better than the original song.
The day when the inter-Korean family reunions are separated.
Today seems like peace day.
Eva again shares her gift with the world and the world responds with arguments.
I hear this song Imagine from Eva Cassidy in the night in the radio. She have a wonderful voice! Sorry for my english! Und ich habe in ihrer Biografie gelesen das sie jung verstorben ist. So eine junge Frau und ein Talent, die es verdient hätte länger auf der Erde zu bleiben. Für mich eine schöne, wundervolle Version vom Song Imagine! Ruhe in Frieden Eva Cassidy 🍃🕊🌹🍃🕊🌸🍃🕊🌹🍃🕊🌸🍃🕊🌹
IMAGINE ? ..if you can ...how you wish OUR WORLD COULD BE !
That people could STOP KILLING EACH OTHER for whatever reason , religion, power,hood related conrol,jealously,road rage,desire, or whatever other reason ......? ..
Eva could have skated by on her God given angelic voice, or even her guitar playing - but she sang every song from the depths of her soul, interpreting phrases to give each song, line, word a new, often deeper meaning.
Once you hear Eva sing you captured for life. Because that's happened to me a along, long time ago!
Amazing voice😢
She sings "Imagine" amazingly, I get goosebumps, as many times before when I listen in on her fantastic vocal. I am stunned. She has eternal life.
Very soothing . R.I.P. beautiful lady. I was so sad when I found out. I hope one day they eradicate that dreaded disease.
