[Dixielandjazz] Amazing story and voice!

[Bob Romans]

Eva Cassidy!!!
These YouTube videos feature an amazing vocalist. Eva Cassidy was an up-and-coming singer from Washington. Her amazing voice attracted a local following. And she released a few CDs locally.

In 1996, Cassidy died of skin cancer. Her incredible voice never reached outside of her hometown. That could have been the end. But four years later, Cassidy was played on BBC Radio. And the U.K. audience fell in love.

A video of Cassidy singing Over the Rainbow was found. It was played on one of the BBC's TV stations. Her fame started growing steadily. As of 2008, Cassidy has three #1 releases in the United Kingdom. And her music has topped charts all over Europe. She may be gone, but her amazing talent lives on.
