Eva Cassidy was one the great voices of her time. She sang blues, jazz, country, r&b as well as standards form theGreat American Songbook with a voice that ranged from electrifyingly piercing to smokily intimate. The music world first took notice of her extraordinary talents with her first solo recording, “Live at Blues Alley”.“We’re still applauding Eva Cassidy,” said
Mick Fleetwood, the Fleetwood Mac co-founder and drummer, who became a devotee of Cassidy’s while listening to her sing at Fleetwood’s, the Alexandria, Va., restaurant he owned and operated in the mid-1990s. “We’re keeping the campfire burning, letting people know about her. We want people to know about her!” Eva died in 1996 from melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. Her music was little-known during her 33 years of life, but today her soul-stirring voice is reaching people all over the worldselling over 10 million recordings. In celebration of Eva’s 63rd birthday on Monday the 2nd I would like to recommend the 2013 documentary Eva Cassidy: Tmeless Voice that charts her discovery and posthumous rise to international fame and attempts to explain why the modern day music business, with all its marketing driven strategies, was turned on its head by the voice of a girl from small town Bowie in Washington DC. It includes unseen original archive footage of Eva performing, and incorporates live performances and interviews from a range of contributors including Mick Fleewood, Katie Melua, Sir Terry Wogan, UK voice coach Carrie Grant and other broadcast journalists and music professionals who bring their own genuine insight into how and why Eva was discovered and went on to become a star after her untimely death
