Eva Cassidy had such a pure voice, and this version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is truly unique. Ironically, she didn't like this after she recorded it. But, like all of her music, it's a gift to us. Now that Eva is somewhere over the rainbow, her approach sounds more Angelic. I give you this song of hope, enjoy.

Have been an Eva fan for years. Most under-appreciated singer of all time. Have everything that has been released to date, and that's not enough. Had it not been for the greedy market-mongers of the music industry who tried to pigeon-hole her talent into a specific genre, we would have a limitless supply of Eva musical interpretations to enjoy for years to come.

I have just now discovered Eva Cassidy, and as you say, her music is truely "a gift". I thank you,( Ann, I believe) for allowing me to discover this incredible voice which has been silenced far too early. I guess that makes what we do have of her all that more precious. Thank you.
