Rosemary Timothy Yuro, professionally known as Timi Yuro (August 4, 1940 - March 30, 2004), was an American singer and songwriter. Sometimes called "the little girl with the big voice," she is considered to be one of the first blue-eyed soul stylists of the rock era. According to one critic, "her deep, strident, almost masculine voice, staggered delivery and the occasional sob created a compelling musical presence." Yuro possessed a contralto vocal range. She had a U.S. Billboard No. 4 single in 1961 with "Hurt", an R&B ballad that had been an early success for Roy Hamilton. She had a couple more minor hits that same year including "Smile". In 1962 Yuro's single "What's a Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You?)", went to No. 12 on the Billboard pop chart, and her single "The Love of a Boy" reached No. 44. She toured Europe in 1963, and appeared on the British TV show Ready Steady Go!. However, in the U.S. her image became established as a cabaret performer rather than as a soul singer. She recorded throughout the '60s and released a single or two in the '70s, however, her career lost its early momentum.
