Eva Cassidy - Somewhere Over the Rainbow..

Beautiful Video.. Most Inspiring Music Singer Ever!



Bravo to the "CasaLucita" Youtube channel for such a wonderful video and story with great links to find more on Eva Cassidy..

Here is the story as posted from the video description..

Tribute to the Extraordinary Eva Cassidy ~

I discovered the profound beauty and talent of Eva Cassidy just recently while recovering from surgery. Laptop surfing, I was searching for something to take my mind off the emotional anguish and physical pain of my recent wounds. Somehow I stumbled across the videos of Eva Cassidy's Live performance at Blues Alley.

From her first notes, I was stunned and captivated. And comforted. Her musical selection, interpretation, range, enunciation, sustaining notes, phrasing, rich timbre and vocal acrobatics are exquisitely overwhelming. Her power and softness are a constant marvel. Her delivery is perfection.

The sheer beauty of her music reaches very deep inside me and yet simultaneously transports me far beyond myself.

It is rather foolish to do what I've just done (and have never before felt compelled to do); put together a simple, inadequate slide show.
Especially when we are blessed with the great and haunting footage of Eva's live performance at Blues Alley.
But it is my humble, yet passionate thank you to Eva Cassidy for sharing her unforgettable music, art and spirit.
Her voice is a conduit to something bigger, more profound and extraordinary than words can express.

My heartfelt appreciation goes to Barbara and Hugh Cassidy for bringing Eva into our world and to Chris Biondo for believing in Eva and making it possible for us to still hear her.
