I found out about 4 years ago the Eva Cassidy is my cousin on my birth father's side of the family. As a musician myself I wish I had had the opportunity to play with her. I was adopted at birth into a great family but they have no musical ability.. It's good to piece your life together and find out that your heritage has musical roots. "Our" uncle was a violinist in the LA Philharmonic Orchestra in the late 50's and early 60's... Music runs deep and transcends multiple generations....
She has a four octave range going to five (A5 highest note) with full control at the highest note. That's not a regular singer, that's unheard of. Her vocal control makes her magnificent, her singing, same, her arranging skills, amazing, her guitar playing, superior, highest top block skills across the greatest range of music. And a human being too..A Mozart. So what if Ms. Eva is my musical mistress and makes me cry every time I hear her.
goose bumps is an under statement Eva has changed my life in many ways , how i look at life and dead and how to share life with all people , there is no better voice on the planet , it does not matter what name you put down here , Barbara or Whitney or Tara-Lynn this angel is on her own no one in the history of music has come this far without being here or vidio.,s it,s just like God has given as Eva for a short while and he needed her more .................
Bruce Romano I tried your suggestion and listened to Rene Marie... fun singer but I like Eva's voice better for this song. Eva turns it into an amazing celebratory song which adds to the power of its lyrics; Rene Marie just can't do that, I think, with her voice although she tries. It's just not powerful enough as an alto and she can't go full-throat like Eva could.
NO ONE sings this better. Yes the original version is terrific, but this is incomparable. Eva seemed to be able to take a song & make it better. This makes my spirit want to soar.

I love everything Eva does. She OWNS everything she's done. But for this song, also give Rene Marie a listen.
