Sad News, Potatoes.

Yma Sumac (1920ish - 2008)
Bursting onto the American music scene after signing with Capitol Records in 1950, the raven-haired Sumac was known as the "Nightingale of the Andes," the "Peruvian Songbird" and a "singing marvel" with a 5-octave voice. It wasn't just what she sang, but how she sang it. There truly will only ever be ONE Yma Sumac.
