Eva Cassidy (1963–1996) was an American singer known for her clear, versatile voice and acclaimed interpretations of covers across folk, jazz, blues and soul.

Died of melanoma at age 33. Gained significant posthumous recognition and chart success in the UK/Europe. Repertoire prominently features covers such as "Over the Rainbow", "Fields of Gold" and "Wade in the Water".

Two DeBaser reviews emphasize Eva Cassidy's clear, versatile voice and her ability to transform well-known songs. Reviewers praise her interpretations across jazz, blues and soul, noting imperfect production on posthumous releases but high artistic merit. Both reviews give 4-star evaluations.

For:Fans of vocal-driven folk, jazz, blues and cover interpretations.

 I, who love ungraceful voices, inspired hoarseness, alcoholic wheezes, and haunted circuses, found myself at the mercy of an angel.

 Eva Cassidy does not imitate Janis Joplin, whom she almost reaches in intensity, but she stands alongside her in regularity and mastery, positioning herself a notch above for the ability she had to make her voice "sound".
