I’m not sure if this lady has ever been mentioned here before..she has a fascinating story....she passed away in 1996 from cancer virtually unknown...about 5-6 years later her album sold 10 million copies...she was unknown, not because she couldn’t get a label to sign her, many wanted to...she turned them all down because they wanted to make her into their image and she said no....that takes guts

Eva only sang covers but made them her own...like these ones....

Sting heard her version of Fields of Gold years later and said it was the best version of the song ever done...including his own and said he would never sing it again in public....he gave a copy to David Foster who contacted Michael Bolton who did a duet of Fields of Gold with Eva using tracks from her album ....Mick Fleetwood was a friend of hers and would sit in on some of her gigs in Washington

She was also one very good guitarist

one of the greatest voices ever... IMO

Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
