Bridge Over Troubled Water by the late Eva Cassidy, the greatest singer of our time. In response to a viewer, I have added this below:

Eva Cassidy died, at the age of 33, in 1996 of melanoma, skin cancer. She was from Maryland, US and died just before she was getting better known. She could not get a recording contract in the US. She is still not well known in US. She is popular in the United Kingdom and much more well known in other European countries and other parts of the world.

There are a few sites on her life but do a search on her name on the web. You will find at the top, the best site on her life, run by her cousin, Laura Bligh, with lots of information about her.

Also do a search on this site, YouTube, on Eva Cassidy ABC nightline and you will see Parts 1, 2, 3 a summary of her life. Thanks for asking.

Recently I have also posted (on YouTube) Eva Cassidy Story-Trevor McDonald Pts 1,2,3. This has additional information on Eva beyond the story on her by ABC Nightline.

  • It's helpful ...

    It's helpful because it's a curative cathartic, like lancing a boil.

    To Claudiabiwima: It is sad to have lost
    such a wonderfully expressive singer so
    young, but it's great to be able to enjoy
    these videos over and over and remember
    Eva in the company of so many enthusiasts.

  • Bisher kannte ich ...

    Bisher kannte ich nur ihre Version von "Fields of gold", immerwieder höre ich es, niemals bekomme ich genug davon. Habe mir nun ALLES von Eva Cassidy angeschaut. Dauergänsehaut! Wie wunderbar und ausdrucksstark ihre Stimme und ihr Spiel der Gitarre! Wundervoll eine solche Sängerin auf der Welt gehabt zu haben. Wie abgrundtieftraurig, dass sie nicht mehr unter uns weilt. Herzlichsten Dank an alle, die die Videos hier eingestellt und uns so teilhaben lassen an ihrer engelsgleichen Stimme.

  • Yes, and I didn't ...

    Yes, and I didn't know that until now. Her vocal talent is matched by excellent guitar playing, and is very tastefully done. What a gift she had, and how blessed we were to have her if even for a short while.

  • its a very good ...

    its a very good version. but, why is so important to discuss if it is better or worse than original? both are great versions and everyone of us has his/her preference. and its a stupid struggle to discuss that issue. i love the original, but welcome to all the excellent versions as this one. Greetings from Spain.
