"What A Wonderful World"- Eva Cassidy

Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 01:51 AM by enigmatic

Eva had one of the most shimmeringly beautiful voices I've ever heard, and the world is less without her. I always loved her take on "What A Wonderful World":

2. Cancer

She was just really hitting her stride as a singer, too; she was one of those that could literally make anything sound good w/ her voice.

7. Thank you, enigmatic

I believe her "Time after time" was the haunting one I heard at my grocery store a couple of years ago, but didn't know who the beautiful voice belonged to til I followed your link.
