And to think, no auto tune, no pitch correction, no reverb, no compression technology to make her talent sound super human, just pure talent to be able to move you with her great voice and emotional depth.
Timi Yuro and so many other singers of her era are so far above anything of today. I can say I was blessed to be young during the heyday of so many great singers like Timi Yuro. This is one of the very best ever.
I want to give you a dozen more 'likes' on this one. Elvis was a big fan, often attending her shows in Las Vegas, and later recorded this song himself. Another record hit of hers was, "What's A Matter Baby (Is it hurting you)" . ps, Going down this rabbit hole, try "Just Say I Love Him".
I first heard this song a week ago, I'm 68 years of age. I love this song and Timi Yuro's voice. I played this song no less than 10 times in a row. You can feel the pain. Will music ever touch your soul again?
One of my favorite soul, R&B singers of the era. Her 'Make the World Go Away' is a classic soul version of the song and crossed-over to make the top 10 on the Country charts.
She is considered to be one of the first blue-eyed soul stylists of the rock era in the 60's. She was a contralto so could go deep, almost in a masculine voice & used the occasional sob in her songs. "Hurt" was her biggest hits but some other songs are "What's A Matter Baby", "Smile", "The Love Of A Boy", "Make The world Go Away", "Permanently Lonely", "I'm Movin' On" "Let Me Call You Sweetheart", "I Apologize" etc.
One of the most powerful voices I've ever heard! I've been waiting for someone to react to this recording and I'm so glad I got to see your reactions. Timi Yuro was so amazing and I love seeing younger people hear and appreciate her talent. Thank you both!
Timi Yuro was a pop singer who had a throaty and soulful voice with a big hit " HURT"(1961) Also had other hits with "I APOLOGIZE ","FOR THE LOVE OF A BOY".Borrowed her blues jazzy style from singers like Dinah Washington and Nancy Wilson . Born Rosemary Timotea Aurro (8/4/1940-3/30/2004). This was cover by Elvis Presley.
Such a great singer, I could never understand why she didn't have more top ten hits in the U.S.. This song reached #2 on Billboards Hot 100 and "Make the World Go Away" hit #8 on the country charts. But she did continue recording and doing live appearances, and was still quite popular in many other countries until she got married in 1969. She did make a comeback in the Netherlands in the 80's and was very popular there for about five years.
When I was in the business all those years ago Peter I was told her label at the time Liberty drenched her in strings when they should have developed her as a blue-eyed soul/R&B/jazz ballad singer. Instead, they wanted a cabaret singer. Some songs are pop covers & she seldom got songs as powerful as "Hurt." The producer of "Hurt" was Clyde Otis -- who worked with Brook Benton & Dinah Washington, so she had first-class people behind her. She moved to Mercury Records & she had better material but it was already too late. She did have Willie Nelson, Quincy Jones among the producers who took an interest in her. Her talent & voice never failed her. She had some minor hits but radio & good marketing failed her. Her song "Interlude," should've been a major hit. "Cuttin In," is a hot soul-deep one from the Mercury years. No reason this was not a hit. Spanish-flavored "Why Not Now," was also wonderful. This is the music business, it's frustrating. If you haven't seen her live Dutch TV clip (1982) on UA-cam singing "You'll Never Walk Alone," watch it. I think you'll be impressed with her. I was. I wonder why this was never released as a live album. Incredible stuff.
Love that someone is reacting to the late great Timi Yuri ♥️ I'm sure others have said that you should also listen to "What's a matter baby" and "You can have him" There's also a live version on UA-cam of her singing "You've lost that loving feeling" Also a great duet with Willie Nelson "Did I ever love you?"
Love you guys and you reactions on some great songs from the 50’s & 60’s. There was a. Outlet who sang in the 1960’s Nino Tempo & April Stevens. “Deep Purple”, & “Whispering.” God Bless you both!
I've told a few you tubers about the wonderful, powerful voice of Timi Yuro for awhile now! (Maybe you two?) I totally fell in love with here voice as a young child around 1960-63 & I can tell you there is a Lot more of her music to check out! Her voice STILL Captivates me....
Oh! Oh! I remember when my "boyfriend" in high school, cheated on me and I was crushed! That very night I heard this song on my radio and I cried a river over this jerk! Then came Timi Yuro's song, "What's The Matter, Baby"! BLEW MY MIND! I eventually did not just get even with him, I GOT AHEAD! Timi Yuro, was one of a kind voice! NO "singer" sings like that now-a-days!!
I love Timi Yuro, such an incredible voice! Sadly, Timi developed throat cancer. She later had to have her larynx removed and spent the rest of her remaining time on this earth not being able to talk or sing. Her powerful, magnificant voice was silenced. 😢
Everything this woman sings to is fabulous play some of her records I apologize I won’t cry anymore everything that she saying says fabulous Liz this is the queen
Shawn & Mel -- watch one of Timi Yuro's last live performances on Dutch TV (1982) of "You'll Never Walk Alone." Be sure it's the live version, to see how powerful her voice comes across in concert. The TV images are a little fuzzy, the audio is excellent. Spine chilling contralto voice at the finale. So spiritual & masterful. She's one of the few singers who could sing alongside Aretha Franklin with ease. But few even knew that. Her "Interlude," (from a motion picture) is a beautifully haunting song many have forgotten but those who discover it add it to their playlists. People have told me they never heard of her, except for that one hit she had "Hurt," which was produced by Clyde Otis (who worked with Brook Benton & Dinah Washington). But she recorded duets with Willie Nelson (who also produced her), opened live for Frank Sinatra, & she was Grammy-nominated. Quincy Jones produced her successful LP "The Amazing Timi Yuro." She was a personal friend of Elvis Presley who went to see her live several times. They were so close, that when Elvis decided to sing "Hurt," in one of his final concerts, he asked her for permission. Every album she ever released had powerful songs. Diva? She was one of the first. You both do an excellent assessment. ua-cam.com/video/PsrCqZljmqs/v-deo.html
@@richardtytus1546 - You're welcome Richard. It's what I do. I've written for years as a freelance -- music publications, and websites. I research it carefully & file it until needed. I recently did one on Dory Previn -- she started out as a lyricist for show tunes (movies & Broadway) with her husband Andre (pianist/composer). "Come Saturday Morning" was one of her bigger ones. Then branched out by writing confessional songs & performing them as a singer-songwriter. Dory doesn't sing as powerfully as Timi Yuro but she was a great songwriter.
This was also a huge hit back in the day. Timi's voice is so strong and beautiful. Love your reactions. When you can, please react to Elvis covering this song. Love you two,
I'm glad that you heard that song because her range and timber of her voice I have not heard it again until "WHITNEY HOUSTON" where she will sing with so much timber and outstanding as Timi Yuro. I love Timi - there are more songs you should hear "What's Some matter baby is it hurting you?"
Shes the only one that could sing it with conviction. Such a powerful voice. I love this version. Its heart wrenching.im a true elvis fan thru on thru but he couldnt sing this like timi yuro. No one can. R.i.p.
I loved this song since it first came out !! Love you guys doing oldies now. Can't stop watching !! (I'm 75 years young), Try Roy Hamilton "You can Have Her"
There will never be another to be hero! She touched my heart, and I was a young child, and now as a woman! One of my all-time favorite singers, Timi Yuro! A God given talent 9:19
I am so grateful to have been the age where I can say this was our music. The mid 1950’s & early ‘60’s music was heartfelt and pure of soul. Timi Yuro singing “Hurt” made the fissure in my heart even wider. She sang what I felt. We didn’t have to wince and cover our children’s ears when today’s music? is being played. Disrespect and full of profanity is being deemed as music in today’s times. I can guarantee 60 years from now no one will recall the trash or who sang it. It will, I hope, be in the dumpster where it belongs. Think about this:so many of the great artists and groups of the 1950’s & 1960’s were Black. We loved and bought their 45’s. They reached inside and took hold of our hearts. I have a feeling they’re turning over in their graves!
I made this request on another of your videos before I saw you did this one. Vicki Carr, "With Pen In Hand". her voice is very similar to Timi Yuro's. Definitely bring the tissues. She cried on stage every time she sang it.
Rosemary Victoria arruo, aka timi yuro, small Italian lady with the big voice. The parents owned a pizzeria store that Elvis would visit when he was in town. Elvis used to attend her las vegas shows when ever she was performing there
So happy you played this. It came on the radio and my mama had to crank that AM up. One of the few songs I remember from my childhood. I still know every word
Timi is one of the most underrated artists. Nobody has a voice like hers. Thank you for reacting to her. Love it.
Yes it’s a shame and I just don’t get it
Bobbi Martin is another one that was underrated. Her songs Don't Forget I Still Love You and For The Love Of Him showcased her great voice.
You cut right to the truth of Timi Yuro. What a talent!
@@nkcbrazil Me neither.
You must listen to Timi Yuro singing 'What's a Matter, Baby'. Shows off her powerhouse voice to perfection as well.
Rrrrrright !!!!!
Indeed!
And, "Make The World Go Away"; it'll blow you off of the sofa!
my favorite from her..........Whats a matter baby !

@@patticrichton1135 Yes she did a cover of Brenda Lee's song.
I’ve loved her voice for a long time, especially this song. Keep those tissues handy 🎶💗😢🥰🎶☮️

Not only is she an out of this world vocalists, you can hear the hurt in her voice!
A whole lotta soul from a little 21 year old Italian girl from Chicago.
I've never heard this song or artist. But it did remind me of my hurt from my love lost. Boy am I glad I'm over that pain...
Look up and listen to her "What's A Matter Baby" and you'll feel even better.
Just awsome..nobody talks like this today....
Finally!!
I was today years old today when i have heard this artist through you two what a blessing ty
chills and goosebumps!
Wow. 1st time I heard this and Im teary eyed as well. I think of the hearts that I broke

@@lastrada52 Nice comment about Timi Yuro
I never heard of but her voice was intense and powerful can't wait to research her.
She had one of the very few True Contralto voices!
Everyone makes a fuss about Diana Ankudinova's range today but Timi Yuro's range was awesome.
i love you two- you are leaving an imprint in time with your example
Thank you for listening to Timi Yuro, Hurt, She had a voice . Need to listen more to her music.
Never heard this song before, my god talk about feeling her pain good grief! What a beautiful voice!
What a Musical vocal treat! This a new one for me. her feeling in the song hits us all. WOW!
Tears people.
At 80 years old I still cry through the whole song. R.I.P. my lovely songbird.
What a voice she had.. and that special sound.. RIP 🙏 Timi..
Love that someone is reacting to the late great Timi Yuri ♥️
I'm sure others have said that you should also listen to "What's a matter baby" and "You can have him"
There's also a live version on UA-cam of her singing "You've lost that loving feeling"
Also a great duet with Willie Nelson "Did I ever love you?"
Her voice reminds me of Jackie Wilson - "To be loved".
Yes!!!!!
I have never heard this song. Beautiful voice & such a sad song.
Playing 50s music is the best therapy for a good cry. It clears the soul. A real man cries.
So glad you enjoyed this. Such an underrated singer.
Great song & singer. Never heard this version, but I have heard Juice Newton sing it beautifully.
I loved Timi. What's a matter baby was my favorite. I was young then.
Love you guys and you reactions on some great songs from the 50’s & 60’s. There was a. Outlet who sang in the 1960’s Nino Tempo & April Stevens. “Deep Purple”, & “Whispering.” God Bless you both!

This is fabulous!!
Stunning. I had forgotten about this song. Thanks.
I love singing along with this in my car,where no one can hear me.
One of the great Latina Soul voices of the 60s. My mom used to have a couple of her albums. One of them was in Spanish.
Yes! Never heard it before! Very moving!
I remember this song. It was released during the early to mid sixties. It charted well in the charts. Her rendition is the best.
Oh! Oh! I remember when my "boyfriend" in high school, cheated on me and I was crushed! That very night I heard this song on my radio and I cried a river over this jerk! Then came Timi Yuro's song, "What's The Matter, Baby"! BLEW MY MIND! I eventually did not just get even with him, I GOT AHEAD! Timi Yuro, was one of a kind voice! NO "singer" sings like that now-a-days!!
You chose the right action. Forget getting even, why waste any more time on someone who wasn't worthy of you?
Awesome song. Now try Me and Mrs Jones by Billy Paul.
I was named after her , what a voice
She was amazing Timi Yuro , this and Make the World go away were her big hits.
Fabulous!
The 60's was the BOMB! And this happens to be one of my favorite songs! Thank you for introducing it to the youth of today.
The oldies is the best 👌 music.ever.
I love Timi Yuro, such an incredible voice! Sadly, Timi developed throat cancer. She later had to have her larynx removed and spent the rest of her remaining time on this earth not being able to talk or sing. Her powerful, magnificant voice was silenced. 😢
None Of Today's Singers Come Close To TIMI YURO, PATSY CLINE, OR BRENDA LEE!!!.
Grace And Peace,
