No way! She was a goddess. Don't they live forever?
Only in our heads, and a few blogs.
woooooooooooooow, she is/was so wonderful!!
I didn´t know her. Thanks you for show us.
It's very hard, but isn't she the model to jocelyn wildenstein?
I excuse my bad english.
The catholicity of your taste never ceases to amaze me. Yma Sumac! Goodness, I thought she cooled ages ago.
i just heard a report on NPR and thought of your post!
That is spooky! You didn't know before your previous post?!?
I remember seeing her in the movies when I was little and she just disappeared. Yuma was before her time for I am sure if she was young and singing today she would be "hot and very popular"!!!
My gosh - you were writing of her the other day and I was wondering what became of her and that wonderful voice.
Vale Yuma.
