Remembering Eva Cassidy

On one of my music forums yesterday, someone pointed out that it was Eva Cassidy's birthday (Feb 2). And they posted some youtube links of her filmed live at Blues Alley, the year of her death at age 33. At the time of this filming, she didn't know that she had cancer. I had never heard her before, but WOW, what an amazing voice. Take a listen to these:

Eva Cassidy had such a beautiful, pure voice. She left this world far too soon.:(

Wow ty, what a gift.

I first heard her music a couple of years agoj...but had no idea she has passed :(

Very sad to hear this.....she was probably one of the few artists that could make you feel what she was feeling whenever she sang...always sang with such emotion. One of the purest voices I have ever heard.

I saw a tv segment about her a few years ago. Her voice is so beautiful it gives me chills. What a tragic loss, but thank goodness her music lives on.

This is a really good site for more information about her.

Her voice is so calming.......I will definitely be adding her to my music collection.......
