MUSIC: "Autumn Leaves" performed by Eva Cassidy and the LSO

Gorgeous!!!

A sad song

But so very Beautiful

Made even more beautiful By Eva

She had that rare wonderful quality

To make a song her own

And deliver it so perfectly

"Eva Cassidy, the versatile, much-missed vocalist praised for her emotional range and interpretive skills, receives a unique reimagining as her poignant vocal performance of the classic song "Autumn Leaves" is paired with the backing of the London Symphony Orchestra. This inspired musical context was created by isolating Eva's 1996 live vocal performance recorded at the Blues Alley Jazz Club in Washington, DC and combining it with a new orchestral arrangement by the team of four-time Emmy Award winner William Ross and Grammy winner Jochem van der Saag."

MUSIC: "Over The Rainbow" performed by Eva Cassidy

Intimate Pure Beauty

A great artists

One of the greatest interpreters of song

Eva is a hero of mine

To maintain the essence that is her

She would not give in to corporate pressure

She would not change who she was

She gave up fame and fortune

To do what she was here to do

She stayed true to herself

Thanks to the UK for re-discovering this American artist

And bringing her to the attention of the US

Stop what you are doing

And just listen to how she sang this song

This is her version of a popular but well worn song

But Eva infuses it with her soul

And it sings as fresh as the day it was first written

I think - Even better
