Eva Cassidy - What a voice that woman had!
She died at 32 of cancer but left behind many live and studio recordings. She was incredible. So sad she never achieved the success she deserved while she was living.

Anyone else familiar with her?

1. Oh yeah
Her version of Sting's "Fields of Gold" is mesmerizing.

3. They don't play nearly enought of her on radio.
Her Field of Gold is better than Sting's. A simply marvelous voice.

8. She gets played quite a bit on Wogan's show on BBC Radio 2
You can listen to it on the internet.

Her style of music turns me off though. Bit soppy for me.

7. She's almost kind of spooky
I like her "Over the Rainbow" rendition.

That's my favorite as well. And I also agree she's a little spooky
I think her voice has a haunting quality to it.
