Listening this evening to a recording of Eva Cassidy and once again overwhelmed by her voice and presentation. I am wondering why so few people know of her work and therefore are unable to enjoy her talent. Apparently she had a strong and loyal fan base in her local Washington,D.C. area before she died of melanoma at the early age of 33 in 1996. And then a few years after her death, she became extremely popular in the United Kingdom and Europe.
It was thanks to our friend, Doug, that Sandy and I had the good fortune of being introduced to her music. By the same token, we have made an effort to share her music with our friends. It just seems a misfortune that the U.S. music scene, for whatever reason, has overlooked this talented young lady.
If you have not had the pleasure listening to Eva, try it. I am confident that you will be in for a treat.
