My all time favorite reading of Over The Rainbow. Judy Garland and Iz Kamakawiwoʻole are the runners up, and it’s not even close.
If you’re unfamiliar with Eva Cassidy, she started to gain a little traction in the early 90s. A major label or two took her for a spin, but nothing ever materialized. Eva sang everything – pop, jazz, blues, folk – and refused to be pigeonholed into any one genre. Someone in her camp had Brit connections, and her music found its way to England, where it exploded. Suddenly people like Sting, McCartney, Mick Fleetwood, Rod Stewart, et al, were all singing her praises. That happened in late '95 IIRC. This was recorded in January of '96. A couple-three months after this gig she started not feeling well. Cancer was diagnosed, and she was gone by Thanksgiving.
RIP.
