Asha Puthli by Asha Puthli, released on CBS in 1973.

Asha Puthli (born February 4, 1945) is an Indian singer-songwriter, producer, and actress.

Puthli moved to New York from Mumbai with a dance scholarship, a demo tape of Indo-Japanese fusion songs. In 1970, she was signed to CBS Records and subsequently released several solo albums. Praised as a "fusion pioneer" by The New York Times, her recordings cover blues, pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, and techno.[1] She also starred in films by Ismail Merchant, James Ivory, and Bruno Corbucci. In 2025, Puthli was inducted into the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame. - Wikipedia

Mirror by Charlie Mariano, released on Atlantic in 1972.

Flabberghasted Vibes wrote on their blog:

"Indian singer Asha Puthli contributes vocals to the album’s titular track (she also appeared on Ornette Coleman’s “Science Fiction” sessions from the same year). At first I thought this was wordless vocalizing before I checked the back of the LP cover and saw that she was singing the free verse poem there. I’ll have to assume her voice is deliberately submerged in the mix, perhaps to trigger subliminal spiritual contemplation...

All of the compositions are by Mariano except for Michel Legrand’s famous “Summer of ’42” theme, which is here given a languid deconstruction where Charlie plays the flute. Slow funk grooves are blended with modal and outside riffing. .."
