You can find clips of most of Eva Cassidy's songs, including the "Now Playing..." feature at:  http://www.synuk.com/eva/

Eva Cassidy was born 2 February 1963. Growing up in a musical family on the outskirts of Washington, DC, she sang as a small child and later learned to play the guitar. Even then as a child she had an amazing gift for perfect harmony, and on family outings, she would sing, harmonising perfectly with the music from the car radio. Her father, a teacher of children with learning disabilities and a part-time musician, formed a family band with Eva, her brother Danny, on violin, and himself on bass. She endured school, preferring her own company and, whenever possible, being involved with music and painting.      

Eva's singing voice was a crystalline soprano, ideal for the ballads and folk sons she performed.  But she also had tremendous power and when she turned to sould and gospel-flavoured material her voice resounded with emotional sincerity.  Her repertoire drew from all these areas and from the more melodic aspects of contemporary pop.  While she might be placed only on the edges of jazz her conviction and integrity would often ably carry her over the hazy boundary.  The excellent interpretation of Sting's "Fields of Gold", on "Live at Blues Alley" and (minus the applause) on the compliation album 'Songbird', is breathtaking in clarity and delivery, and of course her now famous interpretation of "Over The Rainbow".

Eva died as a result of melanoma in November of 1996 at the age of 33, but her angelic music continues on.
