So I stumbled upon some Eva Cassidy stuff while I was putzing around on YouTube. What I learned shows exactly how much I knew about someone who appears to have been quite a talent. I thought she was an older jazzy lady from maybe the 60s or so. Way off.
Eva died from cancer at age 33 in 1996. She was locally known in the DC area, but had just begun to break out of the local scene and her records became successful after her death. She does a beautiful cover of "Fields of Gold" and has quite an eclectic range.
