About this deal

Biondo believes that skill is what freed her to bring so much emotion to the songs. “There are a lot of components to someone trying to pull off a tune,” he said. “They have to think about the technical parts, about what the next note is and what the phrasing will be. But because those things were so natural to Eva, it allowed her to go right to the next level, which was to go inside the song and feel the lyrics.”

Two years later, as 2000 drew to a close, a video of Eva performing ‘ Over the Rainbow‘ from the Blues Alley concert aired on Top of the Pops 2 on BBC2 and was re-broadcast in January, 2001 following a wave of requests from viewers. The re-broadcast catapulted the ‘ Songbird‘ album to the top of the UK and Irish album charts on March 18, 2001, igniting a media storm in the U.S. where outlets from The Today Show to ABC World News Tonight to CNN weighed in on the phenomenon that was Eva Cassidy. By November of 2001, the fifth anniversary of her passing, ‘ Songbird‘ had been certified triple platinum in the UK for sales of more than 900,000.

Adele has been quoted as saying: “ So I used to dress up like a Slipknot fan, and then after school I’d run home and listen to Eva Cassidy.”
