Great range, never heard of her!

If you study her more you’ll find a silly rumor that she was not an South American Indian Princess from the Andes Mountains, but a New Jersey housewife named Amy Camus (Yma Sumac spelled backwards). Quite an astonishing larger than life individual.

Oh, and one more thing, if you have ever watched "The Big Lebowski" you may remember at the Jackie Treehorn villa in Malibu scene, that is Yma Sumac singing while the topless girl is bounced on the beach trampoline just before Ben Gazzara suddenly appears and says, "Hello Dude. Thanks for coming, I'm Jackie Treehorn."

Yes, that is how I discovered her.
