  • Nothing can top this vocal version, outside of the Beatles' original. Amazing.

  • Beautiful! Just beautiful!

  • One of the most beautifully written songs sung by one of the most beautiful voices of the 20th century. Perfect combination

  • Omg!!! What a beautiful voice!!!! Eva Cassidy you are an angel :) God bless you xxxx

  • Love you, Eva, always

    Anne

  • Oh I think this is truly wonderful! What a beautiful beautiful voice and what a tragic tragic loss to Eva and her family! I could cry! Life sometimes seems so magical and yet so cruel at the same time!

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • Excellent version, I just found a song in my computer and didn't know about her until i found out she died in 96? Wow, I'm a musician and it's a shame that she was not well known to more people. There are many bad singers today who get overpaid. Now this girl can sing and yet she was not well known. Tells you right younger generations need to go back and learn from the pros. Love her voice!

  • Sometimes you gotta stop and "hear" the roses.

  • Are all her songs "death songs"? the reason i ask is simple, perhaps if she had not died so young then her songs would not have been so popular and associated with funerals

  • @kevinturvy Not all of her songs are "Death songs". She did not know that the skin cancer would kill her.

  • @kevinturvy Maybe they are not so much associated with funerals, maybe more with rembererance or commerative services.

  • Música imortal numa voz maravilhosa.

    Pena que autor e interprete se foram tão cedo...

  • absolutely amazing!

  • Some yesterdays I regret, but then there is the tomorrows....always hope, never give up....

  • I am so sad to say, this reminds me of my husband who died 5 15 2005, still so sad. Don't think I will ever be he same again.

  • Almost prefer to hear her without so much instrumentation.  Her voice is so pure. Love when she sings unplugged. Incomparable.

  • magnificent Eva is the most wonderfull suinger i have ever heard,she has the voice of an angel,love you Eva

  • ((((((( ... EVA CASSIDY !!! ... )))))))

  • I just discovered Eva Cassidy today--totally by chance. I've been listening to her obsessively ever since. She seems to combine the best qualities of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin in a single voice, if that were possible. Plus, she's a fantastic guitar player, which I don't see many people mentioning. Great rendition of "Yesterday"!

  • @LearningCurve9 And in addition to all of that, she was also a talented painter.

  • Eva Cassidy had an amazingly angelic voice. But better than that, she was a genius at interpreting songs written by others and making them truly her own. Fantastic talent. The world will long remember and miss this incredible musician.

  • Best voice ever, Katie Melue and What A Wonderful World, with Eva...also wonderful...

  • Love is pure beauty, music is love, Eva is pure love and beauty.

  • @TACarhart Beautiful!

  • I always think how hard it is to make Beatles classics sound good and new when remade, but Eva's voice brings new meaning and emotion to this classic. Fantastic.

  • I can never get enough of listening to Eva, she makes me cry each time. Such is her glorious gift, wonderful voice, sweet interpretations, and powerful emotions. All of this comes through in every song she sings - it's pure magic. How can we no be moved? I wish she was still with us to enjoy the pleasure and wonder she gives us all with her songs. Her time on earth was much too short

  • Her voice is so sublime - such gentleness, power, control and perfect pitch. Unbelievable.xx Long may her spirit soar.

  • Yesterday, she left us. Today, we can still enjoy her fantastic music. She is still singing but in the presence of God, safe in the arms of everlasting love and sweet life eternal .

  • wonderous voice!

  • I could watch these gorgeous images,and listen to Eva Cassidy's unmatched voice all day long. It makes me think there must be a Heaven--where Eva surely resides.

  • This is beautiful!! xxxx

  • What a voice...she was to good for this world...

  • All Eva's songs are Beautiful..what a Heavenly voice!~Thank you for sharing

  • Beautiful

  • beautiful performance and nice video

  • maybe god took her so her music would reach the world, i read all these heart felt messages from people all over the world who only discovered her after she died, lets face it, if she was still alive she wouldnt be as widely recognised as she is now

  • that 2nd chord is actually amazing :/

  • She should get a significant recognition by the people and government that she deserves. A national treasure! I Its not fair she has been taken from us! Not fair i tell you

  • i was searching for "what a wonderful world" (expecting to find Louise Armstrong's version), found Eva's performance instead.....i was simply stunned. Didn't know there existed someone with such a beautiful and emotional voice. Emotions stir up when she sings - can't stop listening to her songs now (and i'm a Zeppelin/acdc/blues fan o_O)

    Also, best Yesterday cover I've ever heard. I don't know if she's out there (hope so...), but, thank you Eva. :)

  • @Ronblank17 she's dead.

  • @CrystalLaBelle89 I know... by "out there" I meant, you know, heaven-oriented.

    And by "hope so", I meant I hoped there was an afterlife, 'cuz if not - well, we got ourselves a problem.

    Still, it doesn't change the fact that she had an amazing voice, and this is the best Yesterday cover i've heard so far.

    Thanks for the reply though.

  • There was a movie recently where this was sung what movie was it???!!!! It's driving me crazy

  • When hearing this song, i get shivers in my back and my eyes get wet. What a voice what a power. If heaven was a mile away i would rob the angel and bringback on earth. You will be missed by millions and will not be forgoten.

    Dutch Fan.

  • My father past away in December of last year and every time I think of him this song runs thru my mind... So beautiful!!!!

  • Music and certainly Eva's voice helps me to overcome the sorrow I feel about the loss of my wife resently. She is a great comfort to me. Thank you Eva

  • Splendida!!

    Grazie!

  • I've only just found this song - amazing!!

  • What an amazing and beautiful talent! We were so blessed to have her for the short time she was here.

  • I love eva and the beatles, but I think Paul does it better.

  • unbelievable great voice...respect.

  • I LOVE EVA, AND I LOVE THIS SONG. she has sung versions of all my favourite songs - and they always out do the originals :D

  • Vocals and images are beautiful thanks for uploading it.

  • Thanks Helen, for keeping her alive and sharing such a beautiful voice and spirit.  What a loss for us all that she left us so young.

  • Almost too good, to be true,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • A very good cover of this fantastic song. A few days ago I also knew nothing of passed away Eva, now I discover her unstanding voice.

  • moc hezké :-) potěšilo to mé srdíčko

  • In response to dudemuc" Yesterday" was Paul Mc Cartney's creation and his alone.A song that John lennon admired...

  • Beautyfull song, but the song is by john lennon alone and not the beatles

  • truly the best voice i have ever heard

  • had never heard of Eva Cassidy until tonight. Stumbled upon her while loooking for something else. She was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Such a sad loss of someone so very talented.

  • In this song...sung by Eva.....I know there is a God...what a gift we have been given...

  • This the first I heard of Eva, her voice is outstanding, and you say she died at age 33 , what a shame.

  • Her brother is playing the Violin.....

  • What can I say that has not been said..............The lengend that was.....and still is Eva Cassidy, take a bow babe whereever you are!!! x

  • an amazing voic

    an amazing version

    and amazing song to sing

    welldone eva xox

  • Every time I watch this, shivers tingle down my spine. I'm so hooked to her mesmerisingly beautiful voice, it hurts in a way - it hurts as it fills me with so much emotion and complete awe.

    Never has music done this to me.

  • Sheer mesmerising beauty.

    Words will never reach the emotional, the physical heights that Eva has with this song.

    RIP Eva.

    Your soul will forever line on.

  • Eva.. The sensitive and soft Voice of an Angel.....This very shy Lady's voice interpreted Songs to the point of touching your very Soul let alone your heart..

    She was taken from us far to soon at the Age of 33...She was only really known in the Middle Atlantic States on the East Coast of America but after her death it was Britain that played Eva's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and went "Bonkers" for Eva.

    She became a Star in England and most of Europe & just now is America discovering Eva!

  • Voice of angel.

  • thanks a lot helen...just imagine what were your feelings...so beautiful

  • she makes it sound so easy...like she never did something else...I adore her, at least she was and always be a great role model

  • As i've said many times, the greatest female voice of the 20th century. Absolutely remarkable. First heard one of her songs on a skating show about 2 yrs ago. Now have all her albums, and listen to her every day.

  • either God made a mistake taking her away, or the Angels needed a better voice in Heaven.

  • life and death are the same. our souls never die. only bodies

  • @rkhoosier22 i think she was really an angel on earth , no other explanation for the amazing otherwordly voice she had..

  • she is so sweet

  • Angel voice makes me cry. So sad she was gone too soon.

  • i just wanna cry everytime i hear her sing, she is-was-so beautiful, i just can't understand why she had to go so soon...

  • No doubts - best cover of Yesterday I have ever heard... cannot believe it today that few days ago I knew nothing about Eva. Magic voice!

    Thanks for video.

  • Small correction. The song was written by Paul McCartney OF The Beatles. The publishing credit is listed as Lennon-McCartney. Doesn't take anything away from this beautiful video tribute to one of the mosted gifted singers who ever graced this planet. And whoever the keyboard player is on this track deserves special mention for taste and restraint, too. Thank you for posting it.

  • @ARoadd I've heard about her today coming back from the funeral of the relative....strange story

  • Ms. Hill, Your artwork beautifully complements one of the most extraordinary voices of our time. Thank God for letting her live among us for as long as he did. We miss her so very, very much. Aloha akua, Eva. Mahalo Helen Hill.

  • Thank you!

  • she was a goodess ...

  • A pleasure once again.

  • What video editor did you use?

  • Pinnacle Studio Pro

  • Wonderful song and vocal by Eva. The images on this video are inspiring, too. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video and post it. I could watch it all day.

  • You are welcome!

  • rest in peace Eva!

  • Her voice...It has the ability to connect with that part in all of us that brings these lyrics to life. There are few who have this gift... She is one of them

  • One of my favorite beatles songs and Eva's rendition just touches my soul. Very nice imagery, Helen!

  • i only learned about her through David Archuleta when he announced he will sing duet with her, i did not know she died - rip. Gosh, she has an amazing voice!

  • Me too, I looked her up on here after he mentioned her several times. (He never said he WILL duet w/ her, seeing as that's impossible, but he would have wanted to...) Her voice is amazing.

  • i knew about eva cassidy, but have sort of just stummbled across her today and had know idea she sung all these great songs, but they sound so amazing with her voice, like they were ment for her, i feel so relaxed listening to her, amazing soul
