Just found out another popular artist from the '60's passed away

I was playing some of my 45's and was listening to "Seemann, deine Heimat ist das Meer" and wanted to find out more information on this record and found that Edith Zusar aka (Lolita) passed away on June 30, 2010 in Salzburg/Austria from Cancer. She was born on January 17th. 1931 St. Pölten/Austria.

I found a short video clip of her performing this song from 1960 but when I embedded the video it was too large so I'm posting the YouTube link instead here and another live performance from 2005 here

I found a lot of information about her on WIKIPEDIA but I don't always trust information from WIKI as I have found errors on a few things and added correct information. It was for Don Janse and whomever started the WIKI info stated that the Don Janse Chorale performed on a record for Singer Sewing Machine Company. They stated that it was the first record produced for consumers (I'm paraphrasing) but I have two Christmas albums from Singer and there was a record produced the year before the one that WIKI mentions so I added the information about it.
