Eva Cassidy has the most beautiful and captivating voice that I have ever heard. Her interpretation of various songs was both phenomenal and beautiful. She left us far too soon. Thank you to Eva's parents who have been kind enough to share her music and her beautiful voice with us.❤️💐⭐

This is one of the greatest songs that Lightfoot ever crafted, and he did so many, I am discovering Eva Cassidy for the first time and I am absolutely floored that it took me over 20 years from her passing to discover her, I will cherish her body of work from this day until my days end, a true moment of enlightenment and clarity and thanks to my wife Donna

@quill4443 жыл бұрын
@@dnmurphy48 I'm not a musician nor am I a singer, and Lord Knows I cannot sing even a single note (on key, anyway), but I find Eva Cassidy's voice to be enchanting. As an engineer, I do understand mathematics and harmonics and just a little bit about Jazz and Blues musical notes and scales, and upon first hearing her, I believed that this woman, Eva Cassidy, indeed had a very special voice. I understand your reaction, in that there are cases in which an artist or musician dies young, or tragically (or both!), and in so doing, seemingly becomes famous. In my own case, I adored Eva Cassidy's voice when I first heard it, and it was over a few years later that she died, at only age thirty-three. And when she died, it was during an autumn in which I was age thirty-eight and in the midst of dealing with the end of a long-distance, whirlwind of a relationship, amidst my own health problems that have existed since I was a teenager, and continue to this day such that, as I look back now at age sixty-three, I think I knew even at the time it would (probably) be my last relationship. I did not 'discover' her after she died, but did her tragic end increase my adoration and appreciation of her voice? I'm guilty as charged, I suppose. Therefore, while I did actually hear and love her voice in what was to be the last few years of her life, before I even knew she was ill, it would be easy for anyone to categorize me as being part of that crowd that only purchases the recording AFTER the tragedy of her early death. But I assure you, I discovered her voice BEFORE the sadness of her early death, and before National Public Radio (Stateside) and BBC-2 (in the UK) and the "Songbird" release (which occurred nearly a full year-and-a-half after she died) later made her "famous." Upon first hearing Cassidy, it took me a while to sense Eva's vocal range and her capability, which she almost seemed to keep deeply hidden, and at first I wasn't even sure whether she was a soprano who could 'dig deep' into the contralto range, or whether she was a mezzo soprano who could occasionally reach both 'up' and 'down' and occasionally do so as necessary. Again, I am not a musician! But it is not her range or classification that gives Cassidy her beautiful sound: I think it is her ability to find those 'in-between' notes, those often-magical frequencies that lie at a special place in what I might call 'within the interstices' of the notes that typically make up usual musical scale. Cassidy also possesses a powerful control over her breathing, and at times, when you are certain she should take another breath, out comes six or seven more notes and another whole verse of music. I don't even know what the musical term is for this, but not many singers have this extra lung power. Also very characteristic I think is the way Eva takes a familiar song and breaks up the syllables in her own unique way, with some use of what I believe is called "rubato," and yet it's this and something more. Other singers who excel at this are Diana Krall, a popular Jazz Singer, as well as Erika Lewis, a phenomenal singer in the New Orleans Jazz Band, "Tuba Skinny." I think this vocal technique was also very well exemplified and used by the late J. J. Cale, as you could never tell how he might dissect or "chop up" the syllables of a verse in classic songs of his such as "After Midnight" or "Call Me the Breeze," and it seemed as though you never knew just when he might begin and end singing each word of each line in a song (even the band members often seemed surprised); but in the end, all of the vocal start-and-stop sequences and timings seem to allow the singer to finally arrive and to do so just in and on time! And I am guessing that, possibly among other things, these are maybe just a few of the things others like myself are hearing, and why we like these singers so much; and yet maybe you aren't hearing these things or you hear them and don't find them quite as mesmerizing as we do. And that's okay, but I would implore you to give her voice a bit more of a chance to reach through to you. The exquisite Eva Cassidy sings what I think is the "definitive version" (at least in English) of Autumn Leaves (English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer and Music by Joseph Kosma) which is probably more Jazz than Blues . . . kzbin.info/www/bejne/romlf593pdybZsU and if Jazz of this nature is to your liking, also perhaps try Diana Krall. Also, before you give up on Eva, listen to her rendition of "Over the Rainbow" a few times, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKPHaYmhqblrrrs and see if it doesn't move you. I am confident that it will, if you allow it to do so: it may take three or four honest attempts on your part, so give it a try, and see what you think. - j q t -
