Eva Cassidy & Lenny Williams - Desperado

[@alexanderreyes1081]

A great loss to the music world when she passed at a young age. Her voice is just something to behold and experience. Her covers are simply all her own.

[@CalJennings]

Aww. I’m just hearing about her. She had a lovely voice.

[@thegreenalchemist5895]

Agreed! The soul is incomparable. My favourite is live at blues alley her last concert before she passed to the spirit world

[@USNAVDC]

The voice of an angel....Eva Cassidy.

[@peterobbo7512]

I absolutely love her voice. However. She's completely missed the melancholy and sad reflective tone of the song.The Eagles nailed it. Maybe if she'd lived long enough to develop, things might have been different. She always had a bluesy feel to her interpretations... if she'd been able to develop that might've been left behind. The Eagles got it right. She didn't.

[@sandracrabtree3176]

She will always be my favorite hidden treasure. She is the most beautiful angelic musician and unparalleled in all aspects as a female artist 🙏👑 My go to always 🩷🩷🩷

that happens to many people. What makes Eva Cassidy so special, her voice so beautiful?

[@RhondaHill-mi7cw]

Beautiful cover. No other like her then, now, or ever. Incomparable.

[@ruckus48]

My favorite Eagles song! I tuned Glenn Frey's piano in Calgary, Alberta when they did the Hell Freezes Over tour. They didn't play it till their 6th encore. I was in heaven! Eva makes it even more heavenly.

[@davemcomie1526]

That is way cool, Ruck!

[@popc10h15n]

I am a Japanese fan. I can't forget the day I first heard her sing. I knew there were good singers in the world, but no one captured my heart as much as she did. I especially love her songs "Tennessee Waltz" and "Danny Boy". However, by the time I knew her, she had already passed away and gone to heaven... 日本のファンです。初めて彼女の歌を聴いた日の事が聴い忘れられません。世界には 歌が上手い人がいるとは思って居ましたが、彼女ほど私の心を捕らえた人は居ません。 特に彼女が歌う、Tennesseewaltzとダニーボーイが大好きです。しかし私が彼女を 知った時には彼女は天国に旅立った板後でした,,,,,

[@shirleyfoster5657]

I played her version of over the rainbow 🌈 at my mother's funeral. My aunties were crying 😢now they've passed as well, and her voice brings all the memories back .

[@ritabailey8335]

I worked in music industry for 13 years in 60'S, 70'S did not hear about Eva Cassidy until just a few months ago. Could not believe the incredible quality in her voice. She became my all time favorite! RIP beautiful lady!

[@bethmcbride6680]

That is a common reaction. Many people enjoy hearing her even though it was delayed.

[@davidgeorge8226]

It's very sad that she isn't here anymore . We are all blessed to have her for as long as we did.❤

[@SteveGamlin]

First time hearing this one...wow. My first time hearing Eva's gorgeous voice was her cover of 'Songbird'. More chills today. Rest in peace, sweet-voiced angel.

[@PeterLeeds-eg8ld]

Tears, tears , tears. So talented.

[@wernerroedl8751]

Wow, what an incredibly beautiful voice and what a singing talent. I've been a fan of Eva Cassidy since I happened to hear a documentary about her life on the radio about 15 years ago. It was a kind of Love at first sight.

[@lisasattler6972]

They need to make a movie about her 💖

[@helenecurrell6773]

There was a play "The Eva Cassidy Story", saw it about 2010. Very moving.

[@davemcomie1526]

Ask and ye shall receive. The Essence of Eva is due to be released before the end of the year. Also, there are two nice documentaries here on KZbin. Timeless Voice, and One Night That Changed Everything.

[@juliaboyce3345]

I absolutely agree. Eva was a phenomenal asset of the highest order to the music world and industry. 🎤🕊️🤍❤️🕊️🤍🎤

[@lisasattler6972]

​@@davemcomie1526awesome news, thank you! I'll keep an eye out for it 👍

[@DonCohen2649]

Amy Redford - Robert Redford's daughter - wanted to make a movie. I'm not certain of this, but I think that Hugh and Barbara Cassidy stood in the way. I'd love to see an Eva Cassidy movie (I've seen the documentaries) but it would not fly without dubbing her voice. No singer in the world can ever come close to her majestic talent. I don't believe in a sentient God; however, Eva was angelic.

[@lynnelle66]

I discovered Eva years ago and have all of her CDs. What an incredible voice! Her interpretation of the songs she sings is like no other.

[@aileenbrandt1979]

Loved this treasure for so many years. She keeps fine company on my art studio. Such a loss.

[@guitaristmichaelstark]

Wow! Beautiful voice!

[@kathysothman340]

There are so many facets in her voice, and she draws you in every time. What an incredible loss but a gain in Heaven's choir. 😇

[@karenbailor6485]

I love what she does to covers! Now, this feels like an Eva ballad to me.

[@davidgartner6758]

Pure Gold!! Thank you Eva!

[@davidward5225]

She was very special, songbird is right on.

[@sharonmay4951]

Love Songbird 💖

[@andrzej1896]

For all my doubts her voice always helps me to choose the right way. Eva - thank you! I'm hopeful that one day I will be listening to you with the angels choir in our eternal Way....

[@LUiSHY.J]

So great they release her songs weekly

[@deborahdutko3127]

Gosh! I miss her voice! So glad we have the songs she left behind. XO

[@AlanJan_UK_49]

In the UK we have Terry Wogan's producer Paul Walters to thank for bringing us this amazing lady. Many others too that I'd never have heard of. Now we have Zoe Ball !

[@diederickfokker5641]

The cristal clear tones and warm timbres from Eva's voice are heartwarming. Shame she is not present anymore.

[@peterschmitz6446]

She has a heartbreaking Voice, that goes deep down to the Bottom of your Soul, even in this unspectacular Mix with one Instrument, which almost sounds like a home recording. Itˋs like she is standing besides you and singing in you Ear. Over the Grave and the Abyss of Time, her Soul and Voice shines.

[@budd1814]

Thank You Eva 💖

[@debsnight]

She reaches into the very core of those that listen to her angelic way of singing. What a gift she had and still has in making you actually feel her words with her touching expressive singing. Unforgettable.

[@Mary-t3r3m]

Found her on KZbin after she passed. What a loss 😢What an amazingly gifted artist ❤

[@saltrockshakers4205]

I listened three times, and now, Eva owns this song in my mind!!! And do they get much better than Lenny Williams being AI transposed onto this live, 1995, Eva recording from Pearl's Restaurant in Annapolis, MD, playing a 2024 Fender Rhodes Electric Piano/B3 Hammond? I don't think so. Eva's and Lenny's performances, though separated by nearly thirty years, connect perfectly as if they were playing together when it was recorded, but yet, at the same time, both giving this masterpiece a hint of Ray Charles vibe.

[@andrewmcleod190]

Angels can sing! Her voice is perfect

[@PeterLeeds-eg8ld]

Lost to us too soon. So sad, so beautiful.

[@andreafenimore9564]

[@vc8230]

I have been stop listening music for quite a while until one day, that I retire. Logically, need some music for my hifi set left idle for years. A friend of mine told me that the quality of Night bird was of superior quality. That's 100% correct. Most of all, she is best one that you can't find anymore.

[@babiesrphotoops]

Don't put it off. Sometimes you save a fine wine for that special moment, and it has become vinegar. Savor all the good things while you can!

[@breadandgravymusic]

Eva, I didn’t know you personally but you touched my heart so deeply when I was 15, that the last 27 years of my musical life have been a tribute to you. (Thank you for continuing to release her music.) She touches my soul so deeply.

[@dereks1264]

As always, Eva makes this song her own.

[@peterobbo7512]

One of my favorites. However, She's made a mess of this song. The Blues thing doesen't work. The song is country and about reflection and melancholy. Blues doesen't belong here. I love her but she simply didn't get this song. The Eagles nailed it.

[@dereks1264]

@@peterobbo7512 I respect your opinion and agree the Eagles made the definitive version but I disagree this version misses the mark. Cassidy never did a straightforward cover of any song. I find this version has an almost gospel feel to it with some bluesy aspects. I hear the "introspection and melancholy" to which you allude but I don't think it needs to be "countrified" to get the point across, any more than her version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" needs to be treated as a showtune for her interpretation to work. Cassidy's genius was transcending the flavour of the original song and creating a personal vision of the work, allowing each listener to come to their own conclusion about how the song works for them. That's what makes music great. Thank you for your input.

[@peterobbo7512]

@@dereks1264 But. The Eagles wrote and performed the song. The blues chords changed the song. Not her finest hour.

There's a recent trend of pitch-correcting singers who certainly don't need it (they've recently done it to Freddie Mercury, would you believe!). To anyone reading this who is involved... PLEASE don't EVER pitch-correct Eva, I beg you. In fact, just stop. Stop pitch-correcting iconic vocalists. You're vandalising history. Thank you. End of PSA.

[@reubenkeyz5131]

New music?!!!!

[@AlisonLetnes]

I have been a fan of Eva's for 2 decades now. I first heard Eva sing Field's of Gold during Michelle Kwon's Olympic skate, I had fallen a sleep and woke up to this beautiful music and skate. I tried for years to find out who the singer was and song's name (I didn't recognize it). I was working and searching the net, when a conversation started on the best version of Some where over the Rainbow. I began to review the versions, all of which I knew except Eva Cassidy's. I began to play it and immediately I recognized her voice. After the song finished, I told my staff I had to run an errand. I went straight to the Barnes and Noble and bought her Songbird CD. To my absolute delight - Fields of Gold was the first song. I then read Eva had passed nearly 10 years before, I was crushed....what a talent taken from us. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHzMkKp-rK6ggpI
