Rosemary Timotea Yuro was born August 4, 1940 into an Italian-American family in Chicago, the middle name stems from an Irish godfather, who wanted to call his godson Timothy. When the baby was a girl, he suggested she be named Timotea an Italian name for girls. Her parents compromised by using Timotea as a middle name. Her parents call her Rosemay and her family called her "Ro" - short for Rosemary. - But Timi makes and attractive name for a singer, so she was using it professionally, although she admitted that because of that billing many people thought of her as Japanese although she told "she's a 100 percent Chicago-Italian girl"-- . Timi Yuro's most famous song "Hurt", that finally got her started as a professional, and was always number one of her personal hitparade. Timi's top ten recording of Hurt remains as one of the best vocal performances of 60's pop music. 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.

She sang the title tracks on the 1962 film "Satan Never Sleeps", and the 1968 film "Interlude". 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 appeared in a black and white Philippines film "Buhay Marino" in 1967, as a guest star with Philippine comedians Dolphy and Panchito. Yuro appeared in the Philippine movie 'Incognito' 1967 with Bernard Bonnin, Perla Bautista, Ronald Remy. At that time, the singer was very popular in the Philippines. Timi Yuro was one of the most powerful, passionate, committed and emotional singers ever put on record. her idol Dinah Washington said of her,'Timi's voice doesn't come from her throat,but from her heart.She doesn't just sing the song, she lives it'. Timi described herself as,'A stylist rather than a popsinger, a stylist is a real singer who has their own particular bag.It may take longer to get your particular style over,but in the end it's wort it'.
