Something I'd love to hear...
...is Yma vocalizing the flute in the beginning of "Incantation and Dance" by John Barnes Chance (a staple with high school and colege concert and symphonic bands). Since the flute part starts out at the very bottom and works its way up, I could see it.

Yma Sumac has sung a couple of songs where she parallels and/or echos a flute. Although not the one you mention, and not quite the effect that you were referring to (she didn't replace the flute), she does it quite well. One such tune was recorded in the Broadway musical soundtrack of Flahooley with her rendition of "Birds." Another was recorded on her Argentina Session tracks in 1943. I don't remember off-hand what the name of the song is but can find out if you want to know.
