Hamiyet Yüceses

[3] She signed a three-year contract with the Londra Birahanesi ("London Brewery"), one of the city's two big musical halls.

At the same time, she had weekly programs on the state-owned TRT Radio Istanbul, which was on the top floor of the Grand Post Office.

[3][4] Meanwhile, she took singing lessons from notable musicians like Selahattin Pınar (1902–1960), Sadettin Kaynak (1895–1961), Mustafa Nafiz Irmak (1904–1975), Yesari Asım Ersoy (1900–1992), and Artaki Candan (1885–1948).

Sadettin Kaynak composed songs suitable to her voice type such as "Kirpiklerinin Gölgesi güllerle Bezenmiş" ("The shadows of your eyelashes are adorned with roses"), "Kalplerden Dudaklara" ("From hearts to lips"), and "Benim olsan seni bir gül gibi koklar sararım (Yasemen)" ("I would scent you like a rose if you were mine (Jasmine)").

[3] In 1934, after the enacting of the Surname Law in Turkey, she adopted the family name Yüceses ("Almighty voice"), insistently recommended by Sadettin Kaynak and Selahattin Pınar.

After her husband's death, she lamentingly sang "Gitti de Gelmeyiverdi Gözlerim Yolarda Kaldı" ("He's gone and did not show up, I have been waiting for a long time "), composed by Dede Efendi (1778–1846); many people thought that the classical song was her own work.

She married in 1956 to Osman Sabuncu, a young student of medicine, who asked her to sing the love song "Dîl harâb ı Aşkınım Sensin Sebep Berbâdıma" during a performance at Cumhuriyet Music Hall.

She gave her last concert during the Altın Kelebek ("Golden Butterfly") award ceremony of the newspaper Hürriyet held at the Atatürk Cultural Center.

[3] In 1995, she appeared in a television talk show of Halit Kıvanç and sang with renowned female singers Safiye Ayla, Müzeyyen Senar, Perihan Altındağ Sözeri and Zehra Bilir.

Hamiyet Yüceses died on 10 July 1996 at the age of 80 from respiratory disease and heart failure in a private hospital at Marmaris, Muğla, where she had been treated for ten days.
