Ran across Yma Suma, Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chavarri del Castillo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yma_Sumac
 
who is reportedly to have at one time, a voice that could cover 5 octaves, approximately 123 to 2270 Hz.

Hear her sing here.

Diamanda Galas - avant-garde performer noted for her wailing, four-octave vocal range. While i like here a lot she is not user friendly in the least. you have been warned  :lol:

Diamanda Galas - I Put a Spell on You (live)
