Her own web site is here:

There's beautiful and haunting music that starts up when you go to that site.

I'm barely old enough to remember who Yma Sumac was. She was big...really, really big in the era just before Elvis. Mitch Miller was the hot record producer back then with songs like Patti Page's, How Much Is That Doggy In The Window and Rosemary Clooney's, C'mon A My House. Libarace was popular too. Boy do I long for those days...NOT.
