(ARTIST) Eva Cassidy

Okay, so I know she's not alive anymore, but her talent is UNDENIABLE. You might remember her version of a Christine McVie classic, Songbird, in Love, Actually a few years back. She sings Jazz, Soul, Blues, Gospel, Pop, Rock, essentially anything except Opera (although, she does a FABULOUS cover of Gershwin's "Summertime"). Eva died tragically of Skin Cancer just before her career really took off. Living her life in essential obscurity except to the lucky people of Washington, Eva Cassidy is one those voices that comes along once in a VERY long while. Enjoy Eva Cassidy, I always will.


"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (Katharine McPhee copied her version from Cassidy; one of my favorite musical moments of all time happens around the 4:00 mark)


"Time After Time" (Cyndi Lauper cover)


"People Get Ready"


"Summertime" (SO GOOD)


"Fever" (Recorded with Chuck Brown; sorry the video is stupid, but the song is fantastic)


"Ain't No Sunshine"


"Cheek to Cheek"
