    She must hear a song differently than the rest of us because her delivery of emphasis, emotion and notes is simply, simply beautiful.

      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.

    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.

    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

      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...........

      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.

    @kelhawk1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +331

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

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.

    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.

    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...

    Eva Cassidy: Great singer that she is with a beautiful/clear and soothing voice. Her pretty voice is never dimmed or overcast by the band instruments. Always been loving her songs sung with so much passion and will not stop loving and listening to her!!!! She is such a singing sensation to me.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Well said Kelhawk1, I'm not sure how I stumbled upon Eva but when I heard her voice it stopped me in my tracks! I let out a loud yelp and an expletive that I won't repeat here. Eva touches me so I find myself crying when I hear some of her music it's not the song but simply, it's just Eva.

    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.
