I love her and and she is a Christian gem.

I have a Jussi Bjorling Ava Maria that is better yet , but is not on You Tube.

I apologize to Jussi Bjorling for sure, one of the greatest singer that ever been...

I think all of Eva Cassidy's music was released after her untimely passing. I sometimes wonder if she would have been a contestant on "The Voice" if it had existed back then.

I agree with Eva Cassidy. Her first two disks including my favorite - Live at Blues Alley - were released before her death at the end of 1996. Some of her most recent posthumous discs have not been so great.

I would also suggest Leonard Cohen.
