In the end, it was "Over the Rainbow" that made Eva Cassidy a star, but it didn't happen until five years after her death in 1993.

Oh, my. Isn't she an amazing voice. Such a sad story. Somewhere Over The Rainbow has always been one of my all time favorite songs. Like everyone else, I grew up believing that no one would ever sing it like Judy Garland. Then I heard Eva's version. It was so beautiful that I cried and I still do every time I hear her sing it. I became a fan that day.

Its amazing how well those long ago recordings hold up. I can only imagine how glorious those songs would sound had they been recorded with today's technology.

Over the Rainbow is good but Eva’s talent really shines on Golden Thread.

I think that’s how she got the nickname evarethra

My wonderful daughter gave me ‘Songbird’ for my birthday (or Father’s Day?).
Great music.

Eva’s “Fields of Gold” cover blows the original away. Sting who?

Sting The Guy Who Wrote The Song...
Let's not get crazy.

This is my favorite version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, it was performed by Judy Garland in the middle of the war in 1943.
