ReplyDeleteI saw her at Radio City Music Hall when I was a teenager. I recall the performance being spine tingling and will never forget that voice. My father got been invited through his work to see her. We met her after the show, and I have never met a woman with more manners, grace and class than Yma. I'm 88 now and still remember her vividly.
