Eva Cassidy - Danny Boy

[@signpost5596]

I am Chinese Canadian, grew up in Hong Kong, never been to Ireland. Music like this beautifully written and touching song transcends cultural boundary. The angelic voice of Eva Cassidy touches the heart and soul. Thank you for sharing.

[@AnthonyOMulligan-yv9cg]

My sister in law is from Hong Kong and lives in Ireland today, She misses the old days before '96. She's a sponge for the local traditional music scene in South Dublin. There's even a few really good Yum Cha restaurants for a Sunday Lunch.

The American Eva Cassidy did a fine job

[@davemcomie1526]

No one else compares. I played lead guitar behind dozens of incredible singers, but none of them had 10% of Eva's gift. Not only did she have a gorgeous voice, she had textures and colors that we've never heard from anyone else, ever. On top of that, she was an absolute genius at arranging music around her unique ability to vary the emotional intensity like no one we've ever heard. The dynamics on display are simply unparalleled in all of human history. Eva Cassidy is the greatest, most complete singer who ever lived.

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.

Truly the voice of an angel. She never was famous in her lifetime. She played and made music in Washington D.C. at the jazz clubs.

@@robhennessy6164 'Danny Boy' was written by Frederic Weatherly of Bath England, 'Amazing Grace' by John Newton also of England.

[@robhennessy6164]

@@Will-he-wont-he ...thanks for the heads-up, Mr Vaughn, and you may be correct about the libretto, however, the music for 'Danny Boy' was composed and heard broadly in Ireland at least several centuries before the "words" were later adapted to the song, which, in my view as well as current copyright laws, makes it an Irish song..! i was also told that 'amazing grace' was written by a 'slaver',ship Captain, john newton, from England whose mother's maiden namename was 'Donne', but, in any case, he was not a musician or composer, per se, and, wrote verse and hymns (i.e. prayers), after his religious conversion off the Donegal Coast just prior to his later efforts becoming an Anglican clergyman... His curate was in Olney, (funny coincidence here, as Eva Cassidy was from Olney, Maryland in the U.S. A...) Ostensibly, Newton wrote this verse originally, in 1732, and it was published initially, in a hymn-book he and his close associate, William Cowpers, collaborated on in 1779..? The verse was nearly forgotten in England subsequently until much later in the 1830's, we do not know if it was ever set to music by Newton or Cowpers, and it was adapted by multiple persons in America and separately combined with music from 4 other older songs, namely: "Arlington", "St Mary's", "Gallaher", 'Symphony", 'Harmony Gone' and "Solon", and most wildly and popularly by American composer William Walker in 1847 in his songbook "Southern Harmonies", with music that was later combined with these lyrics from the song "New Britain" where he coined the lasting title of "Amazing Grace".... can't find where the music for "new britain" originated..? Whatever, "Danny Boy' is most assuredly an Irish song that existed for centuries before Mr Weatherly's good-self penned the libretto, and, 'Amazing Grace', if it wasn't, could well otherwise have been..?

[@Will-he-wont-he]

This was played at my funeral last year I am missed

[@RobSed55]

This is an absolutely beautiful combination of a heart felt rendition of an equally heart felt song to a loved one. The hope, of the eternal love of God in Christ Jesus.

My father was born and grew up in Limavady. He loved this song. I do too. So does my daughter. Eva sings this song with the emotion it deserves. Exquisite.

So glad to have discovered Eva and so happy she left us with her music. Flawless and near perfection if ever there was.

+Pat Capp so true, Pat. I was told about her around 8 years ago in Cincinnati but now 11 years later in Houston, I still enjoy introducing her crisp, mesmerizing & sweet voice to others.

One of the few artists that can make me tear up within seconds. Because of her purity and our loss.

[@tufftybob7385]

Hi Spirals 73, I 'discovered' Eva just a few years after she passed away, on a 'Women In Country' album with the song 'at the dark end of the street'. I bought four of her albums, and love every single song on them especially this one and 'somewhere over the rainbow'. I also get very emotional too, when listening the her 'over the rainbow'

Yes sir. Me too.
