    It is an incredibly rare gift for a singer to take a song we've heard sung by so many others for so many years, and sing it as if we'd never heard it before--to take those same words and music and reach down inside of us and touch our very souls. Eva Cassidy did that with this and so many other songs. She was incredibly rare; her talent a gift from God.

    Talk about a small world...Eva grew up around Oxon Hill and Camp Springs, Md. She was 7 years younger than me, but I too grew up in those areas. She worked in a plant nursery just down the street from where my parents lived and where I hung out in a club called Machelle's on the same street as the nursery. I was well into my 20's by then, so she may have been spending time in some of the places I frequented, although she seemed to be somewhat reserved. I've racked my brain over the years trying to recall if I'd ever seen that beautiful face. I didn't realize all this when I first heard 'Over the Rainbow' and instantly became addicted to her music. Her beautiful covers of 'Autumn Leaves' and 'Fields of Gold' were spellbinding. I later discovered that Chuck Brown...the DC GoGo King, had talked her into appearing at Blues Alley and her appearance was recorded. If I'm not mistaken, Chuck Brown frequently played at the Knights of Columbus Hall on the border of S.E. Washington DC and PG County Md. My Father worked there and I worked there on weekends clearing and setting up tables for breakfast. What a talent she was! All of the rehashed junk that's in the theatres these days...it just boggles the mind that her story has not been highlighted. She's the first person I want to meet when I exit this life!

    The first time I ever heard Kathy's Song was half a century ago - late one evening in my college dorm. The song touched my soul with its beauty and poignancy. I was breathless in that moment, captivated by the perfect harmony of Simon and Garfunkel, and the vulnerability and honesty of the lyrics. Maybe half a dozen times in my life, a piece of music has taken me to that place. I thought I'd never experience that feeling again. I just did. One of the most beautiful songs ever written, sung by an angel. Time to catch my breath, and wipe my tears. RIP Eva.

    I have been fortunate to have been a music teacher for over 30 years and had an awesome guitar teacher in college that is a world class player. One thing I have learned is there are very very few people that can accompany themselves on the guitar this well and sing. Eva is the best I have heard. A close second would be James Taylor and Paul Simon.

      I'm trying to learn her version of this beautiful song on guitar, my first foray into Travis picking. Getting there with the first couple of bars. Must say it gives new respect and appreciation for what she has done here. Such brilliant singing and precise playing at the same time.

    This song was on my repertoire and I love the original by Paul Simon but Cassidy as she always does captures me every time with her genius and amazing compositions and her soulful deep singing and voice. Though I never met Cassidy I feel like a teenager falling in love every time I hear a song she does; her music touches deep places of my heart and soul and spirit; I love you Cassidy; your music still graces the earth.

    I overhear this song from the movie Maid in Manhattan. I didn't know anything about Eva. I was immediately struck by the tempo and clarity of her guitar playing. Mixed with the purity and sustain of her voice. Amazingly beautiful. We were all blessed to have had her at all. Rest in peace Eva.

      Exactly. When I heard it in the movie, I was awe-struck. The movie was mediocre. But this song stuck. The guitar was played like the rain. The notes fell like droplets. Beautifully paced and flowingly lyrical. Paul Simon would have been proud.

    So sorry that I discovered this jewel just now. Such talent. So rare. The original (Simon & Garfunkel) was released in ... 1966. A golden time for music. When - unlike now - talent was still important. And available. When there were loads of talented songwriters and singers. It's rare a cover is better than the original. But this one is. What more can you say ? There's only one thing to do: listen. Over and over again.
