Default Pretty incredible version of "Over the Rainbow"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rd8VktT8xY



Also very nice recording with orchestra of this version by Susan Boyle.

That shut me down for the day. I’m almost breathing again.

I've listened to it a hundred times; one of those moments of genius from an artist who had several.
One other song recorded that night struck me the same way...

The incomparable Eva Cassidy! Her feeling and timing were unbelievable.

My wife discovered her and we were HUGE fans. Unfortunately she passed away from cancer right about the time she was poised to gain a wider audience.

We hoped we could see her live, but she never made it out to the West Coast.

(There is a short documentary made by a bandmate and/or manager on YouTube somewhere. It gives a good account of her short career and truly paints a picture of a huge unknown talent that we'd probably be talking about today.)

Here’s a fantastic documentary about the sessions at the Blues Alley in Georgetown that that recording is from:



RIP Eva Cassidy!
