Eva Cassidy

In my random stumblings of youtube I came upon a woman named Eva Cassidy. She has the most beautiful, pure voice I've ever heard. She sings so effortlessly and emotionally. She sounds better live than any current 'pop star' even after hours and hours of studio effects.

Tragically, she died in 1996 at the tender age of 33 due to melanoma. Unbelievably, she was relatively unknown until after her death. (The music industry collectively dropped a HUGE BALL by missing out her!)

According to Wikipedia:

"Her posthumously released recordings have since sold in excess of four million copies, and in early 2001 the compilation album Songbird reached #1 on the United Kingdom album charts."

Anyway, take a listen and I guarantee you'll want to go right to youtube and search for more of her videos.



The world is an ugly place, but this is one unadulterated shard of beauty.
