  3. @jeridansky #EvaCassidy's version of #SomewhereOverTheRainbow is still my favorite song of hers:

    youtu.be/kdEQezu4aqg

    It gives me chills in a way that Judy's version does not. 🤷‍♂️

  10. "Eva Casidy was an American singer and musician known for her interpretations of jazz, folk, and blues music...In 1992, she released her 1st album, The Other Side, a set of duets with go-go musician Chuck Brown, followed by the 1996 live solo album Live at Blues Alley." (Wikipedia) She didn't specialize in a genre which was problematic in signing on with record labels. She died of cancer but received enormous posthumous recognition. #EvaCassidy #music #musicwomenwednesday

  12. I’ve recently been listening to the music of Eva Cassidy #evacassidy — a gifted singer/musician who died more than 25 years ago at age 33. (so how does she have a hashtag? QED)

    Listening, I hadn’t known she was deceased, but now, when I listen, it’s so much more devastating. who could she have become? sadness overwhelms every joyous note.

    “As we reflect on another week of pain & sadness, bombs & bloodshed, we struggle to find reflections of hope & happiness. Music, love, & the beauty of Earth can all offer refuges for us to remember that life can be wonderful… Sting’s ethereal ‘Fields of Gold’…speaks to us about how our fragile lives are enriched by the marvels of our planet. We can sustain each other if we cherish one another.”

  14. CW: Over the rainbow - Eva Cassidy

    Eva Cassidy died in 1996. She was a natural musician - came up with three-part harmonies from nowhere, improvised with skill and precision - but never hit the record company leagues.

    Indie label Blix Street hawked the handful of recordings to tastemakers. One was Paul Walters, the producer of Terry Wogan's breakfast show on Radio 2; the rest is history.

    I return again to my "Sad Songs" playlist.

    I have a few candidates, but I'll go with "Autumn Leaves" by Eva Cassidy

  17. #EvaCassidy

    The new recording of Eva's rendition of "Time After Time" on the new recording is a killer.

    Unfortunately, they did not include in the new recording her version of "Over the Rainbow" which IMO was far better than Judy's.

  18. #Music

    #EvaCassidy was a relatively unknown jazz/pop singer who died at only 33 in 1996. She had a stellar voice but she never got much attn bc she mostly played locally in the DC area & was backed by a small indie label that never gave her recordings much distribution.

    I have ALL of her old recordings & a new one has just been issued that strips her voice from old recordings and backs it w/the London Symphony Orchestra. It's truly remarkable.

  19. Maybe you remember Cyndi Lauper's "Time after time" from 1983. Given the way songs were produced in the 80s, you may not have realised it's actually a love song.

    If you have four minutes, grab a coffee and listen to this stunning version by Eva Cassidy.
