Often described in her early years as "the little girl with the big voice", or "the white girl who sings with a lot of soul", both are true. Born in Chigaco,august 4th 1940,a girl with a passion for singing,was to achieve world-wide acclaim under her childhood nickname 'Timi'.
Timi's top ten recording of Hurt remains as one of the best vocal performances of 60's pop music, and she was nominated for the Grammy Award Best New Artist in 1962.
Timi Yuro is considered to be one of the first "blue-eyed" soul stylist of the rock-era, and the first white female artist to sing at New York's legendary's Apollo Theater in Harlem.
Many listeners in the early 60's thought Yuro was black, others thought she was a Japanese boy.

Frank Sinatra was going to tour to Australia in 1961, Frank asked Timi Yuro. For Timi to be on this tour as an opening act for Frank Sinatra was regarded as a huge accolade for Timi, and was a prestigious close to her first year as a proffesional.

Yuro's most famous fan was probably Elvis Presley, who commanded his own table at the Las Vegas casino where Timi Yuro headlined in the late 60's. Elvis had a Top 10 hit with his version of hurt, and asked her blessing before recording it. Bobby Darin thaught her everything she knew about singing on stage.

Timi Yuro returned to her Italian origins with the 1965 release "E poi verra 'l' autunno" - "Ti Credo", recorded for entry in Italy's San Remo festival. Timi reached the half final and won an award for her performance. Timi Yuro appeared a second time at the festival in 1968 and sang "Le solite cose".
