Yes Eva was from DC area and this is THIS Blues Alley. Her cover of Over the Rainbow reinvented this classic and the new generation is now singing it that way. But Eva’s version ins the absolute reference. She did the same with many other classics: Fields of Gold, Autumn Leaves, … The manager of Blues Alley told they have hosted some of the greatests but that Eva was something else, the staff was in shock from the first notes and staring at each other in disbelief. She sang in duet with Chuck Brown , the go-go godfather, and he told in an interview that she showed him how to sing Jazz and Blues, that he never met such a natural and creative talent. Eva sadly passed away only 10 months after this video recording. She was rediscovered a few years later when Over the Rainbow was played in the BBC in UK and it created such a buzz that her records when directly at the top of the charts and matched record sales that were only reached by The Beatles previously. Eva is one of a kind.
Thank you for saying this. Eva was spectacular, and did not get the wide recognition that others received. It’s such a shame that she died young…the world missed out on so much when she left this earth.
@@BlackCatBonkers fully agree. In England she became a star after a death, with the very first song played on the radio. Millions of records sold there. If you want to discover another gem unknown in the US but a legend in other countries, check Lara Fabian. Fortunately she is alive. She is very different from Eva but share with her, n her own unique way, this ability to convey emotions and tell a story by focusing on the lyrics. You can start with this one: ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html
@@ericsicard910 -I just listened to your recommended song by Lara Fabian, someone I’d never heard of. Wow!! I got a good dose of music chills listening to her. Beautiful, evocative, wonderful mix of breathy and clear notes, hushed and powerful, impressive range, and full of emotion. Thank you so much!!
@@BlackCatBonkers This is a cover and as Eva she made it her own. Serge Lama, the songwriter and original performer, even invited her on stage and sat on the front row to listen to her 😂 She has written 200+ songs in 4 languages and some were covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Shirley Bassey,… and all the current generation of vocalists (she is an idol of Dimash for instance). Here is a recommended playlist: Here is a short list of suggestions to start a journey with Lara: Songs she wrote: • Adagio (english version) : ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo) • You are not from here (english): ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html • Broken Vow (english): ruclips.net/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/видео.html (covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Linda Eder, Gigi de Lana, Almira (4th impact), Morissette Amon, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Cakra Khan, Harrison Craig, ...) • I guess I loved you (english): ruclips.net/video/EwI-HIfSyqU/видео.html • Je t'aime (french): ruclips.net/video/l826rlBOn9w/видео.html (covered by Polina Gagarina, Amir, Giulia Falcone, …) • I am A-WA (english): ruclips.net/video/mKLdLox918A/видео.html • Tu es mon autre (French, duet with Maurane): ruclips.net/video/kfQbUMZXhAE/видео.html • Si tu m’aimes (French): ruclips.net/video/Wg-Zv9cWuDE/видео.html • Pas sans toi (French): ruclips.net/video/H12LGDnl6pI/видео.html • Par Amour (French): ruclips.net/video/rjrTd8VeP64/видео.html • Llora (Spanish): ruclips.net/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/видео.html • Dites-moi pourquoi je l’aime (French): ruclips.net/video/-85T-iR7dfc/видео.html • Mademoiselle Hyde (English): ruclips.net/video/SZm-lhuSyI4/видео.html (covered by Dimash) • Quedate (Spanish): ruclips.net/video/cX0CPdBV75E/видео.html Original songs but she didn’t write these: • For Always (Soundtrack of Spielberg’s A.I. movie, english, duet with Josh Groban): ruclips.net/video/V4dttmn3ppU/видео.html • I will love again (english): ruclips.net/video/RuNPZwN13Q0/видео.html
When she covers a song, she often makes it her own. Some amazing covers she made: • Je suis malade (french, song from Serge Lama): ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html ( her version was covered by Forestella, Giulia Falcone, …) • Caruso (italian, song from Lucio Dalla): ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html • Perdere L'Amore (italian, song from Massimo Ranieri): ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html • Yentl Medley (Papa can you hear me + A piece of sky, chained , cover of her idol Barbra Streisand, english): ruclips.net/video/zW8lalHMwxk/видео.html • I will always love you (cover of Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston, english): ruclips.net/video/4f-wx-ue89U/видео.html • Love by grace (cover of Wynona Judd, english): ruclips.net/video/8V0pGXZxxzE/видео.html (her version was covered by Gabriel Henrique) • Calling You (cover of Jevetta Steele, english): ruclips.net/video/KkfXEb_VyLM/видео.html • Voir un ami pleurer (cover of Jacques Brel, french): ruclips.net/video/FR7LfGytwO4/видео.html Also a few famous duets: • Requiem pour un fou (with Johnny Hallyday, french) : ruclips.net/video/zR1rkt_0biA/видео.html • The Prayer (with Michael Bolton, english): ruclips.net/video/M__6PFD1YEw/видео.html • La Solitudine (with Laura Pausini, italian): ruclips.net/video/Bgv-jUZH60w/видео.html • Il y a (with Isabelle Boulay, french): ruclips.net/video/F61JEarOwuo/видео.html • Et maintenant (with Florent Pagny, french): ruclips.net/video/Mi0E0pLLxf0/видео.html And her famous trio: • Ti Amo Cosi (with Dimash and Aida Garafulina, italian): ruclips.net/video/XaQFfqC3lnU/видео.html
We all know Eva was a great singer. But I don't want anyone to forget that she was a great arranger ( a skill many don't appreciate ). She was a very capable guitarist.She had a great band. Keith Grimes on lead & Lenny Williams on keyboards. And I believe that Chris Biando put all this together to allow us to see her incredible gift to music.
T Bone Walker and Bobby "Blue" Band's versions were generally regarded as the definitive recordings of Stormy Monday. But wow, Eva took the roof off the place with this live performance. Utterly incredible, so different from her soft, sensitive versions of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Fields of Gold. If you closed your eyes you would swear the voice belonged to a black lady, truly amazing. Also kudos to Keith Grimes for a tasteful, beautifully constructed guitar solo. So sad that Eva was taken from us just as she was making waves in the music world. At least we have these few recordings to enjoy as her legacy.
Blues Alley, DC. Not much recorded by Eva, too bad she had a cold when this was done, she wasn’t satisfied with the concert. The labels didn’t like that she refused to stick to a certain formula but did the songs she liked. She passed away in melanoma before she reached a larger audience. Some other songs: Fields of Gold, Songbird, Over the Rainbow. Or just anyone you can find, she never misses.
One take, live, and she had to pay for the recording, the album finally got air play two years after she died. Eva didn't live out the year this was recorded and couldn't get a record contract.....life isn't fair. To hear her full range check out the high energy Blues in the Night
Excuse me, All Blues fan knows of and have,listen, and collected the music of T. Bone Walker 🎶🎶🎶🎶 It's Christmas time give a listen to Eva's rendition of " Silent. Night "
Other comments have pretty much said it all, just a thank you for doing this one in particular, Eva doesn’t get enough credit for her Blues & Jazz chops, imo. Great reaction, keep it up !
Eva is fabulous with a clean vocals, next you should listen to Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa perform etta James "I'd rather go blind". Its fabulous as well, but Beth has the gritty blues

@@BlackCatBonkers check Adagio for the vocal range.
Thanks! Eva was definitely a blue-eyed soul sister. She could sing the phone book if she wanted to.
This was in the old blues alley in DC. She grew up near there. Check out blues in the night.
Her album "LIve at Blues Alley" is awesome.
Her covers of ‘Autumn Leaves’ and ‘Danny Boy’ are her best work in my opinion.
We all know Eva was a great singer. But I don't want anyone to forget that she was a great arranger ( a skill many don't appreciate ). She was a very capable guitarist.She had a great band. Keith Grimes on lead & Lenny Williams on keyboards. And I believe that Chris Biando put all this together to allow us to see her incredible gift to music.
She's from D.C. THis is actually Blues Alley.
Please listen Eva herself singing Over the Rainbow.

Eva is playing that guitar!!!! Don't sleep on that.
She has a beautiful voice

Still listning a lot to here cd, she was a great singer.
Died at age 33 of melanoma in 1996.
She was a genius
Excuse me, All Blues fan knows of and have,listen, and collected the music of T. Bone Walker 🎶🎶🎶🎶 It's Christmas time give a listen to Eva's rendition of " Silent. Night "
Glad you poped up on the radar Zooty !
Some of your older viewers (guilty) know very well who T-Bone is and all the rest who came up in the last sixty or seventy years...
Other comments have pretty much said it all, just a thank you for doing this one in particular, Eva doesn’t get enough credit for her Blues & Jazz chops, imo.
Great reaction, keep it up !
Some know of T-Bone Walker -- bluesy jazz.
Eva is fabulous with a clean vocals, next you should listen to Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa perform etta James "I'd rather go blind". Its fabulous as well, but Beth has the gritty blues
Here rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is unsurpassed. Please watch it. You wont regret it.
A maligmant mole/birthmark on her lower back that she didn't notice.
Cancer is a bitch.
She was sick with a cold during this gig
