Photovideo-slideshow made by dra 432889.Timi Yuro and Willie Nelson, duet "Did I ever love you" a track from the cd "Timi Yuro sings Willie Nelson". Producers, Willie Nelson-Bee Spears-Scot Rammer, Timi Yuro and Robert Selnick.
Timi and Willie were friends for years ever since she recorded some of his early tunes at Liberty records in the early 60's........

See playlist on my profile for an other duet with Timi Yuro and Willie Nelson called "There's a way".

As far as Timi could recall, she was singing as soon as she could speak. Although her family was not well off financially, her mother, Edith was determined that Timi's promising voice should not go untrained. Timi's voice lessons began while she was still an elementary school student.As much as Timi Yuro's vocal style may have been aided by those lessons, her extracurricular activities proved even more educational. Her nanny Mrs.Houston (who had also been Timi's mother's nanny) took her to Chicago's legendary's nightclubs. How a preadolescent girl, even with a nanny, got into those clubs is a mystery, but young Timi witnessed performances by many of the greats, including Mildred Bailey and Dinah Washington. In 1952, the Yuro family, hoping to improve its fortunes. moved to Los Angeles. Once there, Edith was so convinced of her daughter's potential that she took Timi to the renowned vocal coach Dr. Lilian Goodman. At the time, Dr. Goodman's clientele included Frankie Lane, P.J.Proby and Elizabeth Taylor, and her fee was Hollywood-size. However, as legend has it, Dr.Goodman was so impressed that she agreed to take Timi on at a considerable reduced rate, and later free lessons. Timi and her mother tented to be very close-knit. However, once Timi entered high school she, like most teenagers, started spending more time away from home. At first Edith didn't mind, especially since Timi took a waitressing job that supplemented the family's income.Soon after becoming a waitress, Timi secretly decided to try to get her foot in the door at local nightclubs. Even though she must have looked rather young to be in such places, she began to get regular singing gigs. Then her mother found out. One night Edith Yuro surreptitiously followed her daughter into a nightclub. Even though she wanted Timi to be famous, she did not think that singing in such an atmosphere was the way to go about it. Soon Timi's act began, Edith stepped from the audience and shouted angrily, "This is your last song!" Timi recognized the voice but, already the professional, she calmly replied, "What's the matter, Miss? Are you allright?" And the show went on.....

Biography on my profile...enjoy

Timi Yuro's work is admired in the United States as well as in Europe, Philippines and Asia. Yuro's most famous fan was probably Elvis Presley, who commanded his own table at the 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. In april 2004 Morrissey announced Yuro's death on his official website, describing her as his "favorite singer". P.J. Proby knew Timi from their time in Hollywood, and often mentioned it during his performances of "Hurt". Although Timi is the only person who is solely identified with the song.

Timi made the mistake of relocating to Europe. She was successful but the 'mistake' meant that Americans never really got to know her. One of the greatest jockeys of all time, Steve Cauthen, did the same thing and now is almost unknown in the USA.. I doubt the average horse player at Santa Anita could tell you who he is.

Why wasn't Timi Yuro promoted more in the USA.
I don't ever recall her playing Las Vegas or being on the Tonight show. Maybe she was and I just missed it, but I don't think so. Can anybody out there answer the question?
