Hurt/The Love Of A Boy/I Apologise/If I Never Get To Love You/Just Say I Love Him/What’s A Matter Baby/ Smile/I’m Confessin’ (That I Love You)/I Ain’t Gonna Cry No More/Let Me Call You Sweetheart/She Really Loves You/Insult To Injury

The Best Of Timi Yuro is a compilation of her singles from the period 1961-63. She was a powerful emotional singer whose popularity never matched her talent.

“For those interested in experiencing a once in a lifetime brilliant singer, do not miss this stunning soulfully sung collection of masterful performances. Back in my early teens I remember hearing Timi's first big blockbuster hit Hurt and was completely mesmerized by this great voice with powerful emotion who stood out as a uniquely great original. Timi was great in any setting and came alive with What's A Matter Baby that has an incredibly rich and powerful vocal.”

“She represents one of the all time great female singers to emerge in the sixties. That's a remarkable feat in itself. Timi's talent as a vocalist and song stylist is truly unique. Not only did she have a rich soulful voice but also the ability to interpret the song within her own style. This talent is extremely rare.”

“How could a star shine so brightly and with so much promise practically disappear, after only a few years, behind the clouds? Timi with her dedication, energy, hard work and talent should have been a major headliner for years but sadly this wasn't the case. One of the reasons was the times. No one seriously thought female pop singers, for the most part, were capable of an extended career.”

“I find it very strange that Timi Yuro never got the acclaim that she deserved. From the very first single Hurt I collected her exquisite albums on vinyl and still have them. I marvel at the power and the surprising subtlety of her voice.”

“This LP captures the full, vibrant, dynamic richness of Timi's voice. She sings her songs from the heart and puts that extra feeling into them.”

“It is a travesty that so many people have never heard this wonderful voice. This entire LP is filled with songs that once heard cannot be forgotten. Her voice is one of the most powerful and soulful voices ever. This is a must for any fan of 60s soul and ballad singing.”
