I think all of Eva's released music was recorded (though not actually released) before her real struggle with cancer began.  She had a cancerous mole removed some years before her death but she didn't know the cancer had returned until a few months before she passed.   I read on YouTube that...

Quote:   Thanks for the vid.  I like Utada Hikaru too, though I haven't listened to a whole lot of her.     Some may recognize the Rie Fu piece as one of the end themes for the anime Bleach.  Rie Fu doesn't have a big range and her voice isn't powerful, but there is a sweet (not...

Quote: I love songs that combine languages ... fluently.  The throwaway foreign phrase with a bad accent can be grating, but when languages flow one into the other, it can be breathtaking.  The first transition from the English to the Japanese in this little Rie Fu classic floors me every...

Quote: She has that effect on people.  Sting, who normally dislikes the idea of people covering his songs, is said to have been moved to tears when he heard Eva's rendition of "Fields of Gold."   There may be vocalists with better technique or even better instruments, but I haven't...

Quote:   Hayley's voice is lovely, and I bought Pure and Odyssey when they came out, but Eva still reigns for me.  Her voice is the one that I always return to.

Eva Cassidy.   And this is the best performance by a female vocalist...

Here's what Ozzy said about Eva: Interviewer: 'What was the last record you bought?' Ozzy: 'When I was in England recently I was working out on my exercise bike, watching GMTV. And they did this piece about an American girl called Eva Cassidy, who died of cancer. She's got an album with a...

For a great female vocalist (who defies genre) you can't beat Eva Cassidy. She sings blues, jazz, gospel, and pop ballads. Maybe not what a typical rock fan might get into, but I've known more than a few heavy metal types who've been blown away by her voice. I think it was Ozzy Osbourne who said...

My wife and I love these Eva Cassidy songs. They've highlighted many of our most romantic moments together. Fields of Gold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSUGe-tVaJ4 Songbird: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejo3tMDhzVQ Time After Time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW97ydJo1zo I...

Squeeze, I echo your sentiments. In fact, Eva Cassidy's voice has spoiled me a little bit. Diana Krall seems almost lifeless by comparison and pop divas like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, soulless. Will there ever be another voice like Eva's? And will she ever be properly...

Eva Cassidy - start with Songbird or Live From Blues Alley Here are a couple of video clips. It doesn't get much better than this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br1Lo8JJX1w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_filwW7neuc

Great list! But I'd probably replace "Danny Boy" with something more uplifting from Eva Cassidy, like "Over the Rainbow." My wife says that she'd like to have Eva's "Songbird" played at her funeral if she goes before I do. If I were to pass away before her, I'd like her to hear "I Know...

I had always imagined her in an elegant evening gown leaning against a piano singing into a circa 1940s microphone and belting out the high notes with glove-adorned arm in air. But the reality was something more sublime and amazing: a decidely understated artist singing and accompanying herself...

If the Eva Cassidy performance I posted in another thread doesn't send shivers down your spine you're not human...or you're tone deaf. http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=199359

I highly recommend Rie Fu. She has a lovely soothing quality to her voice. She writes her own songs and accompanies them with guitar or piano. Many of her songs are bilingual and her English is fluent. Check out this music video at youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=dgtxUFiIKN8 And...

The first picture is a fake. How do I know? The "Movie" on the back of the player is spelled with a capital "M." Apple always uses lowercase, e.g., iPod "nano," iPod "video," et al.
