Timi Yuro

This is a woman? So said my adult daughter as Timi Yuru played on my stereo this last weekend.
Yes it’s a woman. She had 11 top 100 hits between 1961 and 1965 but most people don’t remember who she was.

Timi Yuro:

• Hurt – This is one of the most painful songs about pain ever. It was originally a hit for Roy Hamilton, and later it was a hit for Elvis, who wrenched every drop out of it. From the fall of 1961. 
• What’s A Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You) – Revenge is sweet, like always. From the summer of 1962. 
• Make The World Go Away – Usually identified with Eddy Arnold, Timi beat him by 2 years. Eddy’s version is a lush ballad, oozing resignation. Timi will not take it sitting down. From the fall of 1963.
