Rok, that vocalist I referred to; if she had named whatever she was singing and going through all sorts of jazzy pyrotechnics on, something else; there is a good possibility I would have like it, but instead, she was messing up one of the classics...

Frogman, you're making the music I've been listening to all of these years brand new all over again, as in "Watermelon Man"; keep it going.Enjoy the music. 
Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
Yma Sumac's voice is mesmerizing. Yma Sumac's name was based on her mother's name, which was derived from Ima Shumaq, Quechua for "how beautiful!" although in interviews she claimed it meant "beautiful flower"; either way she was beautiful.Enjoy t...
