Yma Sumac - Miracles. 1971.


Miracles re-unites the extraordinary five-octave voice of Peru's Yma Sumac with Les Baxter, the producer of her first album, "The Voice of Xtabay" (released in 1950). Acclaimed for her powerful and unique artistry, Yma Sumac achieved world fame during the Fifties with the use of Mr. Baxter's productions. He has chosen to record Yma in a contemporary setting with a four-piece rock band and modern recording techniques. The results are a stunning showcase for an unparalleled performer.

Yma is an adventurous musician. She has conquered many modes, from Peruvian folksongs, through operatic arias, as well as popular Latin songs and international folk music. Now, in her very unique way, she tackles rock.

Miracles melds the most extraordinary music of this century with the most extraordinary voice of three generations - an improvisational tour de force.

Gloria Spencer - For Once In My Life. 1976.


Gloria Spencer (March 18, 1937 – April 2, 1976) was an American gospel singer who was billed as the "World's Largest Gospel Singer"in the world due to a glandular condition that caused her to weigh 625 pounds (283 kg). Over the course of her four-year career, Spencer released only two albums. She was noted for her "sparkling soprano that could easily show a pop feeling or a gritty one. Spencer died of congestive heart failure in April 1976.

Her second album, For Once In My Life, was released in 1976 on Creed Records. The Creed Records release contained a mix of gospel standards and new works, including standards like "Amazing Grace".
