I know serious musicians who believe this, (now restored video), is the greatest vocal performance ever recorded. https://youtube/watch?v=2rd8VktT8xY Tragically, Eva Cassidy died on November 2, 1996, at age 33, of malignant melanoma only 10 months, almost to the day, after this performance was recorded. Ironically, Eva didnt want the session released because she had a cold that night and felt the vocal wasnt up to where it should be. With the greatest of respect, the music world disagrees. I take pride in the fact that in some small way I was one of the DJs who helped break her classic Lindy, Carolina Shag, West Coast Swing classic, Wade In The Water internationally. It was #1 for 13 weeks at my Internet radio station SwingTop40Radio. God Bless this beautiful child of music.
