Grace Griffith sings her poignant and emotional version of 'My Life' accompanied by photos taken during her own amazing life. Grace selflessly asked her own record company to sign Eva Cassidy thus she was directly responsible for the world coming to know Eva's music. Grace is battling Parkinson's Disease but continues to perform and make beautiful music. Watch for her new CD 'The Best of Grace Griffith' to be released on Blix Street Records in early 2009. Her website is: www.seamaid.org

I love mostly the fact that when Ken played it, whilst most people just carried on working, a few of us round the country just stopped & listened as the words & her voice really got to us, & then went scrabbling for pen & paper as Ken said who it was. I had not heard of Grace or this song before so well done Ken Bruce & Radio 2 gang for bringing this wonderful song & artist to my attention, i had to shut everyone up on the building site just to find out who was singing.

This is an amazing version of this song. So perfect for Grace's voice and the words are incredible. It would be great if there was a video clip on YouTube of Grace actually singing the song, as it can then be shared so widely. Anyone got one?

I adore this song. It's so beautiful I almost shed a tear when I heard it for the first time on BBC Radio 2 today.

Very obviously a very unique, amazing and heart- warming lady!
God bless you all.

Thanks to all of you who left messages on both youtube 'My Life' videos about how Grace's 'My Life' affected you. Grace has been so touched by what you said. PLEASE send your same comments to Ken Bruce/Radio 2 & ask him to keep playing her song & PLEASE ask your friends to do it too.We're working hard for Grace to make 'My Life' a hit. It will bring comfort to so many people. Grace helped get Eva Cassidy's music out there for all of you & now we want to help Grace. Thank you!
