Eva Cassidy what can you say Absolutely Brilliant. R.I.P. Darling.

[@johnmanning7186]

Everybody plays "Stormy Monday". Nobody's ever sang it like that. And I doubt anybody ever will again.

[@928pcar]

Clapton 2001 was unreal. Much better than this version. She's got a good voice though

I am almost 90 years of age. I have been listening to female vocalists since early teenage. Jazz and blues mostly. I discovered Eva less than a year ago. Never heard anyone so good before. Brilliant ! Eva turned every song that she sang into a work of art.

[@hansemannluchter643]

Well... I still remember the first time I heard Aretha Franklin. I was 16, so it was 42 years ago. But Eva Cassidy is right up there with Aretha. Hopefully, they are jamming in Heaven.

WOW! You have experienced a lot of History first hand. That is awesome! If I was a rude girl, I would just start asking you questions about your experiences throughout your life.

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

Every single song she sings, without exception, she makes her own. "Over the Rainbow", "Oh, Danny Boy", "Chain of Fools", "The Autumn Leaves", etc. The list is endless.

[@Bluesman532]

Agreed 100%! She was a one off and too soon gone. Such a talent sadly lost to the world.

[@elizabethlatorre5360]

Agree

[@philhoffmann7682]

True story. "Autumn Leaves" is a great example because there are so many thousands of interpretations of it. Hers is definitive.

[@francienalaimo7383]

My first thought upon hearing Eva Cassidy sing "A Change Is Gonna Come" was, "I don't think you have the voice for this song." It didn't take long to realise I was wrong. When Eva covers a song, it's as though you are hearing that song for the very first time...

[@Anavllama]

Where/when did she sing this, sadly I cannot find any recording!

[@philhoffmann7682]

Listening to Eva Cassidy sing makes any day a better day. The end.

[@elizabethlatorre5360]

[@kathyguinto4585]

I agree,this lady had great pipes!.It is sad that she had to die at such a young age,just 33 when she passed.

[@jpagan2017]

A voice that comes up once in generations. I wonder if the audience realized they were watching a once in their lifetime greatness.

[@TheBestOfLisaRenee]

I’m confident the did.

[@JoseGarcia-yu9nd]

I just discovered her this week while listening through Tidal and she got my attention. Today I just sit and listen to her. Fantastic voice, soul and talent. You are right.

[@donstrasbaugh663]

It just blows my mind that music executives didn’t get it. THIS is just so amazing! Magical gifts one and all. As a veteran trained musician and listener I can clearly see that Eva was truly touched by God and her boys loved her so very deeply. It’s just phenomenal how this little gig in the massive world of music rises up to be the greatest moment ever put on tape. Ever! I would give all of my money to have been there sitting in her presence. To play with her. To listen to her. Gifts from heaven to those involved that should be cherished forever. Wow! Just an amazing time. The greatest moments in life are often short and generally few. This is one of those moments. Very special. Thank you Eva! Thank you fellas! Thank you so much. 🎺

[@JimmySinatra]

Amen, brother...

[@theno.1idea938]

The best female singer in this style ever - period... Proof of God I suppose - never heard such purity and power - and taken from the world so soon.. can you imagine if she walked onto the set of American Idol - they would have closed down the show - you just can't get any better... listen to her recordings like "Fever" ... etc... amazing...

[@tonyprice85]

so true

[@pearlnova8891]

Her voice literally makes me cry with goosebumps!! Eva one in a million! 💕💕💛💛

[@fendr1962]

I just can’t think of any words that truly express how amazing Eva is. All I have is thank you Eva for allowing me to hear your beauty. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@davemcomie1526]

This blues singer also sang pop, folk, country, jazz, and rock. She is the most eclectic and overlooked talent in music history. For many of her fans, including this one, she is far and away the most complete vocalist who ever lived. She was able to sing authentically in every genre because she loved ALL types of music and had more colors and textures to her voice than anyone else. What a gift she was. And what a loss.

[@RN-fx4kn]

Because Miss Cassidy's voice is so amazing we forget just how amazing the band was. I would have loved to have seen her live

[@debbiepowers4743]

Plus don’t forget, she could play the guitar like a virtuoso! Multi talented she was.

Not enough thumbs up to do justice. Shes the best ive heard in my lifetime. Voice with feeling and story. Amazing!

Have a look to another "angel" named Kathy Melua. She was admirating Eva, and she produced post mortem, incredible duo with her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGmqgJtmfdKtfM0 This is just a jewel.

[@M_Michel]

This concert was, alas one of her last. The chemotherapies had already marked this beautiful lady 33 years old. I was at Blues Alley some 10 years ago, I can imagine what was the mood on this day. RIP Eva

[@brucel1185]

Lucky you!

[@M_Michel]

She was an angel ... flying too close to the ground. I'd like to feature another angel, she was indeed admirative about Eva, this is Kathy Melua Kathy realised a post-mortem duo with Eva, look ... this is just a jewel ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGmqgJtmfdKtfM0

[@smooch2955]

This is why she never had a record contract. The record companies didn't know what to do with her. She refused to let them pigeon hole her into any specific genre of music. A true free spirit 'til the end. Love you, Eva! ❤️

[@theaccountholderisnottheco5234]

It seems that someone can't be talented and try to get famous. They have to conform to what the industry demands.

I found Eva on KZbin a few years ago. Her talent will live on. What a beautiful voice!... what a unique talent!... what a special gift she has given us! Thank you!

[@Sir-Uke-A-Lot]

One of the most amazing musical artists ever. Her vocal interpretation of songs is absolutely superb and her delivery is second to none. Rest in Peace sweet angel!!

[@TennesseeT]

This is the first of her songs that I have heard. In fact, today is the first time I heard of her. What a talented lady! I also thought the male guitar player's solo was an excellent one and fit her version of the song. He didn't just try to imitate the big name guitarists, like most people do. Your comments make me eager for more of her music, and to learn more about this talented and gifted lady who is loved by so many.

[@oldhippie2110]

HATS OFF TO EVA'S LITLE BAND GROUP THERE AT BLUES ALLEY. SHE TURNED DOWN FAME AND GLORY TO BE WITH YOU GUYS THAT LOVED, SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED HER SO MUCH. NOTHING FANCY, JUST PERFECTLY AMASING.

That's the blues, right there, but alas life is so fleeting, but at least with Eva she gave us a glimpse of the divine.

By far, Eva is one of my most favourite artists, everything that comes out of her is TOP SHELF, gone too soon. Wish record companies promoted her, they sometimes have no idea of what talent is, this lady is the meaning of talent.

So there are some things there are no words for. This would be THAT. GODDAMN!!!!

[@jayboyplatter]

I am so glad they captured this for the world to see and hear her amazing gift! RIP Eva your voice lives touching hearts.

[@91Kingscrib84]

Believe it or not, Eva didn't think she had the kind of talent that people would pay to hear! I first heard this incredible voice on the Gospel Experience on KPFA-FM radio in Berkeley CA in 2000. The host, Emmit Powell, introduced Wade In The Water & I fell out. I couldn't believe I hadn't heard either her name or voice. Quick research revealed some amazing facts about her life & brief career, and the saddest news of all, that Eva had died of cancer just months after this Stormy Monday performance. I was never going to be able to see her play 'live'. That's what makes this footage of her so amazing. Her Blues Alley performances were the basis for most of the material on the CDs that came out after her death. She was a truly gifted singer & interpreter of song. I am eternally grateful to the late Emmit Powell for 'gifting' her music to me that day. ♡

[@mctavish23]

Am so sorry to hear she's passed away. Spectacular talent. May she RIP.

[@RobWatsonWebidextrous]

I don't know any other artist that had the effect on me that Eva Cassidy had in that she is the only one I ever heard I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I listened to her voice. It was 2002. I was living in Chicagoland and getting back from work on the train. I got in my car to drive home and they were doing a spot on NPR about her. As soon as I could I went out and bought a CD. I must have just missed the part of that NPR spot that talked about the fact she had died of cancer because I was devastated to find that out when I tried looking up any possible tour dates. Just an amazing singer and musician.
