    OH. MY. GOD. Shelly Lyn's look at the start of this is perfection. I'd have been utterly mesmerised by her if she'd walked past me as a kid. Even now she's breathtaking, I LOVE her Showa-era glamour here, she looks like an old movie poster come to life. Nobody walks around like this, ever, anywhere. Gorgeous.

    Woow, I'm Peruvian and I'm impressed that her clothes ended in other country. Her clothes are beautiful, aren't they? Here, in Peru we have the typical customs that look a lot like her beautiful designs. Pure art!

    1:23 The first photo shows her when she was still known as Imma Sumack, which means, before recording in the US.
    She was well known in Argentina and Brasil.

      IKR! even the episodes as a whole feel so short. Some of these pieces and the people who owned them need mini series of their own to tell the whole story :)

      Ella aún es considerada como la reina del mambo, de la exótica y de la lírica andina.
      Quizá también sea reina de las fusiones musicales y del canto amateur.

    Yma is a legend and I am not sure why this random guy is in possession of her stuff selling them to fans I think it is disrespectful. The Peruvian government should create a museum dedicated to her and have all that stuff there.

      apparently they were close and she left those things to him, so he can do with them as he pleases. However, I happen to agree with you, he should donate them to a museum in Peru.

      I took care of her...you did not. I am not some "random guy", thank you very much. I gave her my entire young life. I kept her from dying ALONE. I was with her for 11 years. She had no family. Peru was HORRIBLE to her in the mid 1960's and she did not return for 40 years. They had *completely forgotten her* till my website was published in 2005. The rest of the world adored her. Then all of a sudden Peruvians think they are OWED something ? Please. Peruvians AND Peru are owed nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. The two top comments here are the most UNINFORMED of all. Sad.

    • @apartmentsixeleven4093
      @apartmentsixeleven4093 6 років тому +90

      And another thing: she had a WAREHOUSE full of stuff. NO one in their right mind could possibly keep all of that. 500 pairs of shoes? Get real. I kept the most famous pieces for her archives, WHICH I OWN. The rest made fans happy all over the entire world. They cherish the pieces and brought them alive again. THINK before you speak, Teresa.
