What makes her voice so unique is that she could sing anything from Jazz, Contemporary, 50-60's classics, R & B, it didn't matter. Were she alive today to know how important her music became to people and the fame she has, she would be embarrassed by it all. She lived life in a simple way, but when she picked up her guitar, sat in front of a mike, opened her mouth and the music reached your ears, she was in a world of pure beauty and pure special. We have had special entertainers who have graced us with some of the best songs going, and now Eva is with them, and I would almost imagine, she's giving them lessons on how to pour your soul into the music.
Eva sings this song as if it was written for her voice. I listen to this song when I'm feeling down or when I'm cleaning my home. She nails the vocals. But I'm not surprised because of her vocally rich palette. She could sing the names in the phone book and it would still sound fantastic.
When I get to heaven I want to hear Eva Cassidy and Dusty Springfield sing this for us all in choir robes redesigned for style and elegance by Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballe.
Copy and paste, hope it works. I too was interested and looked it up: Personnel Eva Cassidy - vocals, backup vocals, guitar Chris Biondo - bass guitar, acoustic guitar, synthesizers, percussion Keith Grimes - electric guitar Lenny Williams - piano, organ, synthesizers, orchestra Raice McLeod - drums, percussion Dan Cassidy - violin Blues Webb - drums, percussion William "JuJu" House - drums Chris Walker - trumpet Jen Krupa - trombone Leonie & Amba Tremain - backup vocals Steve Lima - guitar, bass guitar, drums, Hammond organ Rob Cooper - Dobro and electric lap steel guitar
Who are you? You are amazing. I’m sorry I don’t know you. I was looking for who sung son of a preacher man the best. You blew it out of the water. It’s a song that is sexy but from a woman’s heart. I’m a ol small town boy that traveled well. You hit everything you was supposed to do in my eyes. Really good.

@@alanmaxted6215 don't get me wrong she does play the guitar Very well but for 'this' song it just didn't work out. Oh by the way I enjoy, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes,Gary Clarke Jr, Joe Bonnamassa, John Mayer,Kent Nishimura. All lousy guitarists in your opinion I'm guessing 😉

The only one who could ever reach me was Eva.🙏🇫🇷
Well said
She has soothed much internal pain in my broken heart 💔 more then words can say

You are so right, Bill Pate. Your imagination is spot on. Just wait! :-) /\
Excellent Comment
Truth
She was a friend...and you're right on point!
She was one the greatest of all time and i play her songs on trumpet all the time!
One of the greatest singers singing a favorite song!
Smiles, hello Donna 🌺 😊
Eva Cassidy was beyond category-a unique talent. RIP.
Absolutely gorgeous voice. Goosebumps.
Eva sings this song as if it was written for her voice. I listen to this song when I'm feeling down or when I'm cleaning my home. She nails the vocals. But I'm not surprised because of her vocally rich palette. She could sing the names in the phone book and it would still sound fantastic.
Smiles, hello Patricia 🌺 😊
And then everyone would finally know that she truly had their number!
🔥🔥👌 God damn what singer
What a voice! 🔥
She could make the old Mitch turtle dance I swear!!! TY for sharing!!! 😍🌹

Awesome cover by Eva Cassidy!She just knew how she wanted to sing her songs!
Beautifully sung by Eva 😇
She has a gorgeous voice and also reminds me of Alison Krauss
interesting. Eva, Alison, the best singers in the business.
Sad loss to music.. All the good ones die young.. But what legend lives on go and rock on and what a session.
When I get to heaven I want to hear Eva Cassidy and Dusty Springfield sing this for us all in choir robes redesigned for style and elegance by Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballe.
DanBdx68 - Thrilled to have Janis Joplin aboard. Perhaps members of the choir can take turns fronting the rest of us by presenting their best work.
Must add Mama Cass and Karen Carpenter.
Bobbie Gentry sang it too. Did a good job of it too. From the Mississippi Delta where this song came from. Remember her?
Sarah Connor has a great youtube of her doing the song live.
Perfect!
Well that just rocks.
Great version ☺

That's when Billy would take me walking
Out through the backyard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man
Only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was he was oh you know he was
Being good isn't always easy no matter how hard I try
When he started sweet talking to me
Tell me everything is alright he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Can I get away again tonight?

Only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was he was oh you know he was
How well I remember the look that was in his eyes
Stealing kisses from me on the sly
Taking time to make time telling me that he's all mine
Learning from each other's knowing
Looking to see how much we're growing
And the only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man
Only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was he was oh you know he was
The only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man

💜💜💜
What a Fabulous lady,and what a magnificent voice, pity she didn't have a guitarist to match her.
You wouldn’t know a great guitarist if you fell over one - great playing !
@@alanmaxted6215 don't get me wrong she does play the guitar Very well but for 'this' song it just didn't work out.
Oh by the way I enjoy, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes,Gary Clarke Jr, Joe Bonnamassa, John Mayer,Kent Nishimura. All lousy guitarists in your opinion I'm guessing 😉
I never really cared for that song ... until now.
She did a wonderful arrangement
Hell I don’t know what you look like. Anyway damn girl your voice and picking. I can tell it’s you picking..
Yihaa.
:)
Give her some whiskey.. it could be better.. it's just fake..
WTF are you blabbering on about.
There was NO THING fake about Eva Cassidy. Watch the video made by band members.
