Eva Cassidy

She is my favourite jazz/blies singer but unfortunately she had only 2 album as she died young. What a pity. 

I have her album Live at Blues Alley and Autumn Leaves always does something to me. Its such an old song and my late Abah's favourite as well . I remember him playing strains of it on his piano in the mornings after he retired . 

There are many versions of this evergreen but Eva's version is still the best for me. 

Listen to her !

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
