Nice reaction! This recording was done in January 1996. In June of that year Eva was diagnosed with metastasized melanoma and she died in November. She was really only known in the Washington DC area when she passed. Her first solo album, Songbird, was released after her death. It wasn't until two years later, when a couple of DJs in England played her recordings of Over the Rainbow and Fields of Gold on the radio and TV, that she really began to be noticed. Since then, her albums have sold over 10 million copies. I first learned of her in 2000, when NPR included her version of Over the Rainbow in a list of the top 100 recordings of the 20th century. I have loved her ever since. It was only last year that I learned that a friend of hers had recorded this performance at Blues Alley on the night they were recording her live album. As far as I know, the 13 songs on that video are the only full videos we have of her performing live. I am so grateful to get to see her perform.
By the way, Eva's voice could go from razor thin whisper to sky-piercing belt in a second. For some great examples of that, check out Blues in the Night, or Oh, Had I a Golden Thread.
Thanks for reacting to this! This recording brings me to tears every single time I hear it.
Thank you so much for all the information. We have added your suggestions to our list.
I'm not gonna lie, I get teary eyed when I hear Eva sing this iconic song. All of her songs are great, I'll suggest Autumn Leaves, cheers.
Thank you for watching with us. We have added your suggestion to our list.
Add another vote for Eva's Autumn Leaves. Any Eva song you choose will be a stunner. She was one in a billion!
So so sad that Eva died so young - 1963 - 1996. What an excellent singer/songwriter/guitarist, you could just go on & on about how excellent she was. RIP Eva ❣❣❣
Yes, very sad. Thank you for watching with us.
This is an emotional, haunting beautiful and soulful version of this song. I love Eva Cassidy's voice and acoustic guitar music. It brings out the emotions in me It's tragic that she died so young . You might want to check out her version of "Fields of Gold". It's a favorite of mine,. It hit's me in the feels every time I hear it! Thank you for the review.
Thank you for watching with us. We have added your suggestion to our list.
Eva is an angel. Tears me up every time. Such beauty. RIP dear Eva you beautiful, wonderful soul.
Thank you for watching with us.
Eva's discovery was not the usual way. This performance was from Jan. 1996 at Blues Alley in DC and she would pass away from melanoma in Nov. of the same year. Her success came after her passing a few short years later when someone from Great Britan got a recording of hers and heard this song. He passed it on to Terry Wogan and insisted he listen to it. He did, was amazed and played it on his radio show. The phones blew up requesting the tune and asking who the artist was. The US would catch on shortly after. I discovered her when in the 1992 Olympics, figure skater Michelle Kwan did a routine to Eva's cover of Sting's Fields of Gold. Since then, she has sold tens of millions of her recordings. Eva did a mix of different genres of tunes and yes, they were covers. But what set her apart was her ability to do them in a way to make them her own. And that voice! The voice of an angel for too short a time. RIP and sing with the heavenly choir, Eva.
Thank you for watching and for sharing all this wonderful information with us.
Fields of gold she also does beautifully. Love to you both from Scotland UK.❤

I grew up in the county next to Eva's but I never got to see her perform; I only discovered her when it was too late and she was already ill. I'm a classic rock kind of guy but Eva just has a special place in my heart. She made you feel things you didn't know you had in you! Best all around female vocalist I've ever heard, what a tonal quality, breath control, just an amazing voice. She could do it all: blues, jazz, gospel, country, folk, rock...what a shame that the world was robbed of all the beautiful music she had to give us.
Thank you for watching with us.
Eva Cassidy was so incredible what a voice and talent. It was such a tragedy and loss to the world when she died of cancer at only 33 years old in 1996, but her music will forever live on. Some other Eva Cassidy recommendations are Danny Boy, Time After Time, Fields Of Gold, Autumn Leaves, What A Wonderful World, Songbird. Thank you both cheers.
Thank you for this information and for the suggestions. We have added them to our list.
Keep spreading love of music.....EVA IS THE BEST
Thank you for the encouragement.
That was such a beautiful rendition of this song. So sad that she is no longer with us. She died at only 33 years of age. I also love the version by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. Sadly he also died young at 38 years of age. At least we have their music left as a legacy.
Thank you for sharing this information, and for the suggestion of Israel's version. We have added it to our list.
She is an IMPRESSIVE artist and all her performances at Blues Alley are worth watching. I would particularly suggest Autumn Leaves as well as Fields of Gold.
Thank you for these suggestions. We have added them to our list.
Great reaction, I love this rendition of this song. Her voice is beautiful, life cut way to short😢
Thank you for watching with us.
Eva's version of this song is almost always characterized as "heartbreaking" (or, as you said, "sad"). Of course, I don't know what Eva had in mind when she created this guitar and vocal arrangement, but when I hear it, I imagine that it is being told from the perspective of someone who's going through an extraordinarily difficult experience, and is near the end of what they can endure -- yet they maintain a grasp on the hope that things WILL get better one of these days. This, I believe, is why Eva's rendition is so heartbreaking; because the singer is about as low as possible, but clinging to the idea of a brighter future. Brilliant!
Thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts about this song. It was beautiful.
First time I've watched one of your reactions. I don't know how you can sit there so placidly when such a classic song is in your ears.
This song was so lovely and uniquely done. Her voice is amazing. What you will always get on our channel is our true reaction. If you prefer someone hamming it up for the reaction video, there are plenty of those reactors out there. But, we hope you will stick around.
👍An awesome performance and great cover of a classic. 🖖❤
We agree
First time I heard this was many years ago in my old Sydney bedroom while I was reading something. Within seconds of it starting I stopped what I was doing and stared at the TV for the next 4 minutes mesmerised. I played her version of Danny Boy for my Dad’s funeral in 2004. I just got tears in my eyes listening to this again.
Thank you for watching with us and for sharing your touching memories.
Great reaction to a really great version of a classic song.
We certainly enjoyed it. Thank you for watching with us.
I remember Eva. She was great. Eva of course passed not long after this recording. Lucy Thomas did a tribute to Eva covering this song that is also fantastic.
Thank you for this suggestion. We have added it to our list.
Suggest “What a Wonderful World”, another personal way Eva did a song we all know
hi from New Zealand... keep up the great reactions
Thank you so much!
Eva's version of "Fields of Gold" and "Songbird" are both amazing. Hi from Portland, Oregon.
Thank you so much for watching with us. We have added your suggestion for Songbird to our list. We have already reacted to Fields of Gold. Here is a link to our video: ua-cam.com/video/k3pghTNmR_g/v-deo.html
I love this video- I could listen to it every day. I so respect the fact that you did not stop the video or talk while she was singing. You were both right- it is relaxing and so soulful. I feel mesmerized by it. By now, you have read the previous comments telling Eva's backstory. This helps to explain the sadness you felt in hearing this. I am so grateful her friends recorded these few Videos that exist as Eva was very shy. I highly recommend you react to the Documentary of Eva's musical journey. You may need some tissues. 😓 A new fan in Gatlinburg! Best wishes with your channel!! 🤞✌
Except for some of our first reaction videos, we now try to keep the music rolling. This keeps us from making any of the ad money on some of them, but we feel the music is too important. Thank you for sharing all this information and for watching with us. We have added your suggestion to our list.
Should have waited til the end....thanks from Morgantown Pennsylvania.....AUTUMN LEAVES....DANNY BOY ...FIELDS OF GOLD....All are Eva's best.....also watch her story on you tube
We did watch her music video until the end. There is a link in our description of the video we used. Not sure what we missed. Thank you so much for these new suggestions. We have added them to our list.
Sorry...l should have watched until the end before l made comments....at the end,it was my suggestion...hehe
@@gregcobb4066 No problem. Thanks again.
Far better than the original, as all of Eva's work is. Even Sting, after hearing Eva sing 'Fields of Gold' said, it's her song now, not mine. I can't compete with her genius. Grateful British DJ Terry Wogan introduced her in the UK. Paul McCartney, Sting, and Eric Clapton wanted to help Eva, but this was just around the time when she passed at 33 yrs old. Incredible loss to the music industry. Eva didn't want to sing pop. She created her music clean. No background or studio enhancement. This is based on a show in a bar, where she performed one night! No special features. Just Eva and friends singing in the bar. Genius musician a statement to which all experts agree.
Thank you so much for sharing all this important information
She was taken much too young. Sting called her version of “Fields of Gold” the most beautiful version he’s ever heard, it’s worth a listen. Thanks for the post!
Thank you for watching with us. We have added your suggestion to our list.
Autumn Leaves and Danny Boy are other great songs that Eva has done. Also, Fields of Gold, and Time After Time. She doesn't disappoint.

Thank you so much for watching with us
Dear Lady dear Gentleman it is a pleasure to rock with YOU 👍👍😃😃@@grandparentsreact
@@helfgott1 Thank you! We are glad to have you rocking with us!
you need to see her recording of danny boy
Thank you. We have added your suggestion to our list.
Thanks for your reaction. I never thought I would enjoy any version of this song, more than Judy Garland's, but now I prefer Eva's. Sadly she left this world far too young, due to cancer. Her music has become more well known since her death. RIP Eva.
A big fan of Angelina Jordan, created a mashup of Eva and Angelina singing the Sting classic, "Fields of Gold"
