https://youtube/watch?v=nzFdlLzhVhM my favorite autumn song, by one of my favorite music artists, Autumn Leaves by the angelic Eva Cassidy... taken from us at such a young age at the prime of her life and career, due to a bad, bad mole on her back. This performance was at the Blues Alley, where she made a recording of her live performance into an album Live at Blues Alley. She was already dying at this time of her performance...her cancer had spread to most part of her body. In autumn of that year in November, she died. :( Wiki says: In 1993, Cassidy had a malignant mole removed from her back. Three years later, during a promotional event for the Live at Blues Alley album in July 1996, Cassidy noticed an ache in her hips, which she attributed to stiffness from painting murals while perched atop a stepladder.[11] The pain persisted and a few weeks later, X-rays revealed that the melanoma had spread to her lungs and bones. Her doctors estimated she had three to five months to live. Cassidy opted for aggressive treatment, but her health deteriorated rapidly. In the early fall, at a benefit concert for her at the Bayou, she made her final public appearance, closing the set with What a Wonderful World in front of an audience of family, friends, and fans. Additional chemotherapy was ineffective and Cassidy died on November 2, 1996 at her familys home in Bowie, Maryland.[2][11][19] In accordance with her wishes, her body was cremated and the ashes were scattered on the lake shores of St. Marys River Watershed Park, a nature reserve near Callaway, Maryland.[2]
