Music Review: Timi Yuro, The Complete Liberty Singles
Published on September 25th, 2012 in: Feminism, Music, Music Reviews, New Music Tuesday, Retrovirus, Reviews |By Emily Carney
American singer Timi Yuro was described as “the little girl with the big voice,” lending her legacy nicely to future blue-eyed soul singers such as the late Amy Winehouse, Duffy, and Adele. However, Yuro’s influence spread like tree roots on both sides of the ocean; artists as disparate as Elvis and Morrissey considered themselves Timi Yuro fans. Her voice was also heard all over Northern Soul dance floors during the 1970s. Her career ended in the late 1960s with her marriage, but she had some impressive celebrity fans. Excellence never goes away, though.
