Have you heard of Eva Cassidy? She was a singer songwriter with an amazing crystal clear soprano voice. She died of melanoma at age 33 in 1996. I stumbled on her while looking at etsy forums. The topic was what song moves you... Many many people said her rendition of Over the Rainbow was the most beautiful and touching thing they had ever heard. I looked her up on youtube and discovered her breathtaking voice. This version of Over the Rainbow is amazing. She died so young and was virtually unheard of before her death.

Thanks for the link - just got done listening to some of her stuff on youtube - very impressive, especially her rendition of Sting's Fields of Gold. Wow.
