Eva Cassidy: What a Wonderful World

Eva Cassidy was a terrific folk, pop, and blues singer who passed too soon. This amazing video is of her closing song from her final public performance. Two months after this beautiful performance, she died from cancer. At the time of her death, she was virtually unknown, but her music has touched many more people since. Eva's music has reached the #1 position on the UK charts and been in the Top 10 in many other countries. In 2005, Amazon.com released a list of its top 25 best-selling musicians, which placed Cassidy in 5th position, behind The Beatles, U2, Norah Jones and Diana Krall.

Hey stranger -

I'd heard of her before but didn't realize she had passed away. I even have one of her songs on my MP3 player. I was surfing through music channels on our Dish Satellite and was stopped cold by her voice. Thanks for posting.

Sorry I've been MIA. Even part-time work has been keeping me plenty busy. I hope all is well with you.
