I sprung some exotica cd's on my captive carpool of coworkers (say that five times really fast) who are all a bit older than I, and they exclaimed, "Yma Sumac! She has the widest vocal range ever! She was amazing! I remember when this song came out!" They all had stories about Yma's amazing range, and talent.
They also had lots of interesting anecdotes about things they'd forgotten about until they heard the songs again, so play this music for people who experienced it when it was new.
