I'm a pretty good singer. I've sang for 30 years for bands, churches and what not. I've gotten standing ovations. But I don't think I've ever made anyone cry. Eva makes thousands of people cry every time she sings. What a talent. And what a shame no one no one discovered her until after she died. She is the greatest female voice I've ever heard.

The first time I heard this version by Eva Cassidy, I was in the car with my son. It was played on XM's Watercolors. We sat in stunned silence and hardly breathed. I have been a huge fan of Eva ever since. She doesn't just sing the song ... she channels it into your soul. No tinsel or glitter here ... no lights, dancers or special effects ... just music at its purest. I don't think I have ever listened to her "Autumn Leaves" or "Over The Rainbow" without getting teary eyed, remembering everyone I have lost in life, living and dead, and grieving too over the loss of this extraordinary singer and musician. Her guitar playing compliments her voice perfectly, as though the strings are an extension of her vocal chords. I hope many more discover her ... today's world needs the peace and tranquility her singing brings. Thank you for a great reaction.

One of the most remarkable things about all these songs that were recorded in January, 1996, at Blues Alley, is that she had a cold at the time, yet she still had the voice of an angel. It's especially poignant that she died 10 months later, almost to the day. It just plain WRONG that such an all-round talent, so gifted in so many ways, was taken away at such a young age.

Eva came to everyone's attention as a result of a BBC presenter Terry Wogan, who featured her version of 'Over The Rainbow' on his morning radio show on BBC2. The BBC switchboard was jammed with callers wanting to know who this singer was - the rest is history. My own favourite is her interpretation of 'Fields Of Gold' written by Sting - when he heard her version he said he couldn't sing it again - she sang it exactly as he'd envisioned it when he wrote it. Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac) and Sting were two of her biggest fans and supporters.

This is one of the most beautiful songs and very old. Les Feuilles Mortes / Autumn Leaves has been covered a lot. The first to release the song in French was Yves Montand in 1946 and in 1949 the American songwriter Johnny Mercer makes an English versie. I love this song very much sung by Eva Cassidy, Eric Clapton and the Korean singer Woorin Ko who sings it in French.

I loved your heart-felt reaction to this Angel on loan known as Eva.💕 . I watched your first look at Eva and knew you would be back soon. Her ability to touch us all where we live and make us re-live emotions is simply extraordinary. It is also so sad as she left us too early as have many exceptional musicians. Stevie Ray has been gone almost 33 years but I miss him every day. Since music is an universal language understood by any population of humans, it stands to reason that musical expression is also an important part of our spiritual lives. It brings a smile to my face imagining all the great music that is happening right now and how much fun it will be to reconnect again one of these days. 🎶🎶🎶⭐️💫🌟✨. Fields of Gold needs to be next💯🎶

I was very familiar with and liked those songs previously, but when Eva reinvented them, they became brand new, transformative, and better songs. How blessed we are that her friends recorded a sampling of her work so that the world can enjoy them for all of eternity. I know she is smiling down at how much we all love her very special, pure style of music. Please react to "Fields of Gold" if you haven't already, and when you do, leave your eyelashes in your make up box!!! 🤗
