This is a special request and so here is Yma Sumac, the legendary Incan princess in a performance from 1954. Yma was the wife of the band leader Les Baxter, one of the originators of "Exotica". Ms. Sumac did have a remarkable 5 octave vocal range which she used to great effect, but, I never quite fell for the Incan princess bit.
Yma Sumac, Amy Camus....?
This, in any event is pretty wild stuff.
