Eva’s cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water is quite worthy of a listen.

Angie and Rollen, thank you so much for listening to Eva. Angie, I appologise for not suggesting that tissues might be in order for this performance. I had not expected you to do this so quickly, thank you.

I never thought I would prefer anyone's version of this song over Judy's but Eva has won me over.

[@terrisalser7721]

It makes you cry from almost the first note

[@shamoo159]

It's always remarkable to remember that this was a live performance!

I’ve listened to this at least 100 times and I go directly to tears. It’s just so emotional especially that she is no longer here with us.

Everything about Eva Cassidy's performance is in service to the song. She never seems like she's showing off her prodigious talent just to call attention to it. She is totally at one with what she is singing - the words, the meaning, the beauty. I can't believe that until a few months ago I'd never heard of her! That's just wrong, but a 75 I'm so grateful that I got to hear this before I go over the rainbow myself.

Eva's version of "People Get Ready" is to be heard to be believed. The world lost one of the greatest voices when we lost Eva. But we should thank our lucky stars that she was discovered, and we have her music which will live on forever.

The original has mostly been done as hopeful, optimistic. Eva turned it on its head and approached it as someone longing, yearning, almost desperate to find that place. I think it is a masterpiece and actually fits the words better than the original

Eva Cassidy from Maryland USA 🇺🇸 a folk Jazz blues artist and an amazing guitarist, passed away aged 33 years old from skin cancer, apparently she was a shy person and became more known when covering song Sting had written called (Fields Of Gold) After Eva passed away her parents released all of Eva’s music and now Eva is famous worldwide So sad too loose such an amazing artist, check out Eva’s covers of ( Song bird ) ( Time After Time) (Autumn Leaves) (Fields Of Gold) and many others, also there’s a song mashup featuring Eva Cassidy and Angelina Jordan covering (Field’s Of Gold) which is amazing to , as Eva and Angelina sound so similar on the cover version, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@sethamtsberg2609]

Love it. Tears falling in mere moments of hearing her sing. Great reaction. Thanks.

She grabs your soul.

I never get tired of listening to Eva's vocal gift. Remember, this is a live recording at Washington, D.C.'s Blues Alley nightclub. Oh, and Eva had a cold that night. A proud daughter of our DC Metro area here, Eva lives and lives and lives.

That was beautiful, thanks for the request Phil 👍❤️🚌💨💨💨💨

It is interesting to hear all the elements everyone feels on this performance. For me, Judy sang it in sort of a frustrated but, hopeful way that a teenager thought she wanted something more than what she had in her life only to realize that there is no place like home. Eva's version is completely different. I feel that her version projects feelings of maybe a loss, missing someone, hope at the end of the tunnel and my mind just going into reflection mode of things in my life and some that I love. Seems that there is so much more. This version cuts right to the inner person, heart and soul.

[@anneliespeters5355]

Very, very beautiful❤️ she brought this song to a whole other level‼️❤️😁👋👋🤘🕊

[@debrarenteria8167]

I've been binging her music the past few months. She never wanted to be a "star". She wanted to bless people with the songs she wanted to sing. This was recorded the year she died, 1996. Thank you for reacting to this.

[@myopicseer]

She really did these incredible lyrics justice. Just awesome performance.

[@ericsicard910]

Eva is magical!

[@MartinHMyers]

Everything Eva sings gets me emotional!
