_ _ _ I
Am very good.
Thank you when you kind of started your rise and rise and rise and rise to fame
Did you expect that things would get this big?
No, and especially not so soon
I mean, I was kind of hoping that I'd do well, you know
People would like my music but I really wasn't expecting this to be so quick and it's been incredible
I mean you have to sort of be thankful for it in a sense
No tonight the person you're gonna do your duet impossible with has been a real
Inspiration on your career and and she's kind of like in there deep down
Just explain to us who you've chosen and why?
Well, I've chosen Eva Cassidy and I really have to say if it wasn't for her
I probably would have never picked up the guitar and you know started writing songs and singing on the guitar
And I just think she had such an incredible voice and I don't think it'd be much of an overstatement to say she's probably the
Greatest singer of my generation.
Is there anything in particular that you kind of learned from her?
There's many things
One of them is the fact that she takes such famous songs that you know
We all have really close to our hearts and she does something with them that no other singer or interpreter is
you know can really do because to take a really famous song and be able to make it your own and
Be able to let the listener look at that particular song and a completely different light is incredible
And she always did what was best for the song rather than showing off as a vocalist
Yeah, right.
So that was really important as well.
I can tell she means a lot to you.
She does.
Yeah.
All right, Katie
We're gonna see your performance in just a minute.
But in the meantime, let's take a look at why Ava Cassidy has become such a cult hero
[C] _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
We walk in [E] feet
_ [Gbm] _
[A] Ava Cassidy died 10 years ago when she was just [E] 33 years old
_ _ [A] _ She had [Ab] sung all her life, but the world [Fm] only heard her voice after she had gone
[Cm] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Cm] [Db] This _
[Ab] _ amateur video of Ava [Dbm] performing is the only footage in existence [Eb] and helped catapult her from obscurity to the top of the charts in 2001
[Cm] _ [Db] It's difficult for me to listen to Ava's [Dbm] songs
I
Remember [Db] her, you know with [Ab] great affection and love and I feel blessed [Bbm] that I had her for 33 years
[G] Although she possessed an extraordinary [D] voice [A]
Ava shunned the spotlight.
[G] She was the antithesis of a pop music diva
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [D] [Gm] Incredibly since [D] cancer claimed her life in 1996 Ava has had three number one albums
[A] Making her the greatest posthumous success story in [Bm] music history
I'm sure [G] she would have been pleased about [Gbm] her success
[E] But all the hoopla that comes along with it.
I don't know
[Dbm] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ Ava's appeal was down to a [Dbm] unique ability to [E] interpret [Bb] and arrange other [A] people's music [D] and now her music is
influencing a new generation
[Gb] _ [G] We discovered what a beautiful [B] and talented young singer Katie Malura is and we're so [D] pleased
[Em] That she has been inspired by Ava and I think it's gonna [Am] be a wonderful do it [G] together
[D] _
