It's the emotion she shows towards the endthat gets to me!

Eva Cassidy R.I.P.

Donny, I do not even need to look at that one. It is one of my favs on the iPod

100% agree - a wonderful rendition of this classic. And she was an awesome (and I don't use that term often or lightly) singer and interpreter of songs.

Dennis, I agree I get CHILLS listening to here sing & play. A true talent always shines with the littlest of backing. I'm glad we still have her music to enjoy.

Take care

In addition to Somewhere Over The Rainbow, this one especially moves me. Eva Cassidy is greatly missed, but thankfully her music endures and lives on my iPod too.

Yeah Scotty, got that one too..Got ALL of her songs in iTunes...
Her, Dusty Springfield, Diana Krall, there are others...all great interpreters of songs.

I mean ANYONE can sing a song (well perhaps some shouldn't LOL), but the innate ability these guys have to interpret a song, and have it mean so many different things to each person that listens, is the "true god-given talent" in my view anyway

Dennis

OMG!, those are among my favorite female singers too!
Got to see Diana Krall close up in concert, wow, what an experience!

Not that I can pick a favorite, but this one incorporates a lot of what I'm about... the unusual, leveraged to full effect. This whole concert DVD is full of amazing moments.
