Thank you so much for introducing me to the music of Eva Cassidy. I'd never heard of her, but really enjoyed this video clip, so much so that I checked for other links at Youtube. I'm sorry to hear that Ms. Cassidy is no longer with us, but at least we have her gift of music. Again, thank you for sharing her music.
Ms Cassidy has been better known here in Brit-land since her untimely 'departure' than when she was still with us. A particular favourite over here is her 'Over the Rainbow'. It's the first time I've heard this rendering of 'Autumn Leaves'. She had a straight-as-a-needle singing voice which I find so much more appealing than those myriads of singers, both M & F, who use tremolandos which sound like they're gargling, and which we are supposed to imagine is "oh, so sophisticated!" but are really just lazy. No, give me Eva's voice anytime.
I will look her up
