I don't see this as a tribute to Eva! It seems more of an exploitation of her name. There are no pictures of Eva and the only mention of her name seems to be a hook to get us to listen. I'm not judging the musicianship. The performance was fine but the video seemed very self indulgent.
Not sure why someone would feel badly that she wasn't famous. According to her friends, she didn't want to be. She wouldn't have sang the songs she chose the way she did if fame drove her.
I think Eva would have been so touched to see how much she moved people around the world. She was unheard of outside her small community and folk clubs where she played. To know that people all over dedicate music to her and consider her blessed with amazing talent would have moved her no end. How bitter sweet for her family/friends to now witness this oupouring of love for Eva so many years after her death.
first time I ever heard of eva cassidy was 1 month ago as my best friend walked down the aisle to songbird and I teared up because of the beautiful words. She somehow manages to capture the emotion from the words and express it while singing in such a unique way. This is a gifted woman!
@TheTMC12 It's nice to know that a 14 year old of todays world has a heart. Keep your faith in the music that makes you feel with emotion. This type of music is the soundtracks of our lives. That envoke memories of times good and sad., but that's something you will learn in time TMC12.
I just came across Eva's music for the first time and have been listening to it for the past 2 days. Not only do I love her voice but, I love the feeling and inspiration that she puts behind every word. I am sad to find out that she is no longer with us; however, I am greatful to have had a chance to hear her music. Eva..if your looking down from Heaven, you have one more fan.
wow this is amazing that someone would dedicate a song to my hero it is sad the eva died but it is nice to know that her music will live on in our hearts and that everytime its heard people will think of her ;')
Beautiful Eva died in 1996, from melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. Her music was little-known during her 33 years of life, but today her soul-stirring voice is reaching people all over the world.
so beautiful, played and dedicate to the best female singer I ever heard. And how proud I am to be friends of Eva's family. To you Margret, I love you, you are a wonderful person, Hank7
That's the problem with all the commercialized music out there. The truly talented and gifted singers get left out of the picture, really a sad situation for music lovers around the world. I miss the day when "ugly" singers could actually record instead of all the pretty faces with no talent the record companies push in front of us.
@jedaqia Don't feel sad for her. Rejoice she now sings for our Alimighty God and even when she sat in front of her docotor who had to deliver this bitter news she closed her eyes for only a brief moment and then opened them and smiled and then said "It's ok. It's all in God's hands now." She never wept or felt sorry for herself. Instead she lived to her fullest and loved those that were with her.
@jedaqia such is the fate of many great artist, being it in music or other areas. Greatness shines on after dead, maybe even brighter then in life. Just know that the music from such artists may never be sung again in the way that they did, but that the memory of these legends will outlast each and every one of us here reading this today. She may be gone now for some time now, here music still reaches out to me and that is a soothing thought indeed.
This is the only comment I've ever made on youtube. I am an Eva fan4life. As for your tribute , I hear it. Well done.(you and your Mona Lisa smile) Beautiful music from a beautiful woman, what a treat , yes?
For those who want to know, this is composed and played by milica ilic, a beautiful girl (as shown above in the photos) who has a couple of cd's out, this one is on one of them, called 'stir the sky'.

Nice guitar, but mislabeled. This is not Eva Cassidy, and the way the title is formed one expects it to be. That's not right.
