Have always Loved this album by Timmy Yuro ! Never get fed up of listening to it even though it was 1963 when my sister and bought it ! When we were out in Beirut ! Brings back Very fond memories !!
The SOUL ALBUM ____ she takes songs from the American Songbook and expresses her heartfelt renditions ___ we call it soul ___ I call it love. This what she gave us.
Was too young at 14 to, understand the full meaning of her renditions, but I love the voice. Herself and Nancy Wilson where my idols. They where God's gift.
Hey you picked two great vocalists _____ try Linda Robstadt sing stuff arranged by the great Nelson Riddle. U tube has live concert . You will love the voice and the treatment.
Anyone who knows the music business knows Timi Yuro fell victim to record labels. Liberty Records wanted her drenched in strings & pop pablum tunes. Even Willie Nelson tried to intervene on her behalf by singing duets with her but Liberty didn't like it -- didn't want that country connection. They didn't want Timi singing soul songs since many listeners already thought she was black. She was a hard sell since she had that voice but was Italian. And she was young. Elvis Presley endorsed her many times. Many people were knocked out by her singing but Timi was shy. She didn't tour like many of the new crop of singers of the early 60s. Connie Francis was the accepted norm. When Timi went over to Mercury Records she was almost a blues singer. The songs were grittier. But it was too late for her singing style. As far as her sounding like Dinah Washington so what? Etta James admired Timi. And today, you have singers like Tracy Chapman -- good singer but she's actually a second-tier version of Joan Armatrading who was singing that way for a decade before Tracy came along. Many people thought "Fast Car" was Joan. Not until late in Timi's career that she began to appear doing songs like "You'll Never Walk Alone," so powerfully she mesmerized European audiences (on TH-cam). No, she always was an A-list singer. America is the fickle one. She was just not marketed correctly, aggressively -- which happens to many great singers Man Ray. If she was a B-singer why did she get so many opportunities to record albums? B-singers don't usually last too long. The Dave Clark 5 had a great rock singer in Mike Smith. His solo lp went nowhere. The Righteous Brothers' Bobby Hatfield was an astonishing singer -- & yet, his solo album went nowhere. Marketing. If no one knows about you, or your album, you sink. Doesn't make you a poor singer or a substandard one. Aretha Franklin FAILED at Columbia Records. Her career began when she moved to Atlantic Records. If she didn't do that -- we probably never would have heard of Aretha. Bob Dylan was endorsed & supported by one person -- John Hammond -- the Columbia A&R man who discovered him. Dylan was Hammond's Folly. Columbia head Mitch Miller hated Dylan. The only other record company that liked Dylan was Verve Records & they didn't have the funds to market him. No one else wanted Bob. Capitol had The Beatles, RCA had Elvis, MGM had movie soundtracks, & Columbia had Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett & Barbra Streisand. Mercury wasn't in the rock business until Lesley Gore came. A&M didn't really exist except for Herb Alpert (who owned it). Elektra was a historical specialty label (Scott Joplin etc) & didn't even have The Doors yet. Vanguard was an old-school small folk label. So, they gave Dylan a few chances -- the first LPs weren't big sellers. But when Dylan started to sell Mitch Miller gave Hammond the green light & stepped away. As long as the cash registers ring. Otherwise, Dylan may have been a "has been" in short order. Folk singer Fred Neil ("Everybody's Talkin'") was a better singer & songwriter. But he didn't last too long. And those early LPs didn't have lots of original Dylan songs so don't believe it when they say it was the songwriting that launched him. It was shrewd marketing the songs helped later. Many Dylan songs were being covered by more notable people like Joan Baez, Peter, Paul & Mary, Odetta & Wonder Who (The 4 Seasons), and the Chad Mitchell Trio. Timi Yuro was superb -- her record company relationships failed her. She didn't. They seldom listened to her suggestions (typical of record companies in those days -- look what happened to Elvis from Sun Records to RCA). I worked those years -- her management should have brought her to a label that understood her. Like Atlantic. Northern soul was Timi Yuro. Sorry about the long-winded answer Man Ray -- but I thought you should be familiar with the story. You won't find it in Rolling Stone.
@@lastrada52 Thanx 4 the exquisite analysis. Rare & supreme on the most-often semi-moronic Yt sidebars. Been trying to uplift & raise awareness similarly.

Inform if you got other long comms such as this ?
Timi Yuro's songs touch the hesrt. Love is forever but changes from being in love to just love what Jesus teaches no matter the HURT Don't hate men are their own worse enemy of killing love, legends in their own mind when as I say they are the assassin of love by lying and cheating. would have had 48 years. I 'll always love and miss YOU Joe. Thanks for our precious daughter, my angel.
Let you in on a “Little Secret” it’s “Love Hurts”. Still I wouldn’t be without it. It’s the Reason for these songs, the ins and outs of Love Glorious ❤️….
I've started to write a book of my life will change the names to PROTECT the guilty and no tears, no sadness I'm taking all of it to make it a funny book as the clown make them laugh. Thank you one and all
I didn't know anything about Timi, but she has a great voice obviously. I've never heard this album before, but it seems very non-descript. Somehow the songs sound the same, and even the melodies do not seem distinct from each other. The arrangements seem so similar from song to song, and each one is sung in such a similar way. This is my first hearing, but that is my reaction. I change my mind a lot about music when I listen more. I'm very open-minded, so let me know what I'm missing. It is true that albums were viewed differently back then, so perhaps the sameness was desired in order to generate hit records?
Have always Loved this album by Timmy Yuro ! Never get fed up of listening to it even though it was 1963 when my sister and bought it ! When we were out in Beirut ! Brings back Very fond memories !!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thank you, Hoagy Carmichael!
The SOUL ALBUM ____ she takes songs from the American Songbook and expresses her heartfelt renditions ___ we call it soul ___ I call it love. This what she gave us.
There is an unmistakable Dinah Washington influence going on here.
Was too young at 14 to, understand the full meaning of her renditions, but I love the voice. Herself and Nancy Wilson where my idols. They where God's gift.
Hey you picked two great vocalists _____ try Linda Robstadt sing stuff arranged by the great Nelson Riddle. U tube has live concert . You will love the voice and the treatment.
Absolutely fantastic voice,hits the soul have been enamoured by her music since I first heard her in the early seventies up there with the greats
Soul plus love ____ the great Timi ___ we will always listen
Italian Soul sing with the Angels Darling Timi.
Awesome i thank I you for all songs amen.
The best ever ,,,
You ain't far off my friend
Formidable
Man could she sang ____ go on girl !!
Gorgeous!
Nice book all the way around, and Timi Yuro pulls off in spades.
There’s only room for one Diane Washington, which is why she was never on the A-list of singers.
It’s Dinah Washington and that’s not the reason.
@@Johnnycdrums
So what’s the reason.
Both are good, but Timi sure is a soul sister.
Dinah Washington exceptional.
