This Music Video features Kathy's Song (Full Version)-Live by Eva Cassidy .
We know, of course, this song was written and also performed by Paul Simon .

Eva Marie Cassidy (1963 � 1996) was an American vocalist and guitarist
known for her interpretations of jazz,  blues, folk, gospel, country and pop classics

Although she had been honored by the Washington Area Music Association,
she was virtually unknown outside her native Washington DC, when she died in 1996

Four years later, Cassidy's music was brought to the attention of British audiences
when her versions of "Fields of Gold" and "Over the Rainbow" were played
by Mike Harding and Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2.

Following the overwhelming response, a camcorder recording of "Over the Rainbow",
taken at Blues Alley in Washington by her friend Bryan McCulley, was shown on BBC Two's
Top of the Pops 2. Shortly afterwards, the compilation album Songbird
climbed to the top of the UK Albums Charts, almost three years after its initial release.
The chart success in the United Kingdom and Ireland led to increased recognition worldwide;
Her posthumously released recordings, including three UK number 1 records,
have sold more than ten million copies.
Her music has also charted top 10 positions in Australia, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland.
