The artist

About Eva Cassidy

Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 – November 2, 1996) was an American singer and musician. She was known for her interpretations of jazz, folk, and blues music, sung with a powerful, emotive soprano voice. In 1992 she released her first album, The Other Side, a set of duets with go-go musician Chuck Brown, followed by a 1996 live solo album titled Live at Blues Alley. Although she had been honored by the Washington Area Music Association, she was virtually unknown outside her native Washington, D.C. area at the time of her death from melanoma at the age of 33 in 1996. Two years after Cassidy's death, Mike Harding and Terry Wogan played her versions of "Fields of Gold" and "Over the Rainbow" on BBC Radio 2, bringing her music to the attention of British audiences.
