What’s A Matter Baby – TIMI YURO****

What’s A Matter Baby/Its Too Soon To Know/I Waited Too Long/Fever/Guess Who/Hallelujah I Love Him So/If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody/For Your Love/Should I Ever Love Again/Only Love Me/That’s Right Walk On By/The Right Time

Timi Yuro was a powerful emotional singer who never quite achieved the success she deserved. What’s A Matter Baby is regarded as one of her best, helped by the classic US No. 12 title track hit single.

“A little formulaic in the arrangements, but saved by Timi's exuberance and some great song choices. What's A Matter Baby is an all-time classic recording that really rocks and That's Right Walk On By isn't far behind.”

“Each song is perfectly matched to her strong voice and there are no fillers here. There was something special about her voice and her ability to tug at your heart. We all know she truly lived her songs.”

“Timi Yuro possessed the most unusual brilliant voice in popular music history being full and robust with rich tones and beautiful vocal shadings, plus deeply passionate emotion that always cut to the heart and soul of a song. The memorable What's A Matter Baby was a sizable hit but this soulful anthem should have gone to No. 1. This album is about as perfect as it can get. Timi's incredible voice is matched with great songs, and none are filler.”

“What a powerful and unique voice from a great soulful artist who was grossly underrated. I hope that someday Timi will receive the recognition that she truly deserves for all the wonderful songs she recorded.”

“Timi sang from the very depths of her soul and never got the recognition she so richly deserved. Forget all the commercial so called soul singers as Timi swept them aside for absolute raw emotion.”

“The title track of Timi Yuro's third album, What's A Matter Baby, was one of her biggest hits, both on the charts and in terms of sound: more than once, Yuro's voice saturates the song, sending recording gauges (and eardrums) into the red. Yuro's big, beautiful, powerful voice lent itself to a variety of settings; aside from the title track she tackled more mature sounding orchestral pop, country-pop, and other styles, many of which are represented here.”
