I see you've become an Eva fan.....There's a little bit of heartbreak everytime though, isn't there....!....Maybe she was an angel...Steffan
I have to hear a little more of Eva, here goes another one.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xv5t70u ... re=related read the comments too....!

Yes, Steffan..... a little bit every time. It's difficult but I want to get beyond that.... I was a fan at the first listen and it's only grown since then. Thank you for that. Tom in Vegas

Always nice to see a thread about Eva again. A nice video about her is here

My favorite song by her, Sting supposedly was moved to tears when he first heard her version

Nice, but the "definitive" version of that was done by James Carr as far as I'm concerned.
