Timi first started singing in public at her parents' restaurant, one day one of the customers heard Timi singing in the kitchen, he yelled through the swinging doors. "Come out here and let us hear some of that stuff!" so Timi made her debut, so to speak, straight from the kitchen sink. In high school, Timi started singing with a group. One boy was named Troy Walker, and soon they were doing duets. the duets led to an occasional solo for Timi. one of her first songs she sang was Hurt, that finally got her started as a professional. (Hurt was always number one of her personal hit parade) published usa - written by Timi Yuro. Read the complete article in the video "Don't ever give up" written by Timi Yuro & Hurt 1961 see uploaded video's on my profile. Unfortunately, the year 1960 brought Timi Yuro little but frustration. Liberty's A&R staff tried cutting demo's with her, but nothing seemed to work. However, Al Bennet believed in her, and he asked her what kind of songs she would like to record. She broke into the pop standard "Hurt" and the staff stunned by her talent. Usually the story ends there, with the song being rushed-released; an instant hit. An interesting addendum to the legend was later revealed by Timi. She told that Liberty was not completely sold on the finished recording of "Hurt". Her goals frustrated once again, she rebelliously made an acetate dub of "Hurt"and brought it to a Chicago disc jockey. The d.j immidiately played it as a "pick hit".Liberty was not all pleased with this turn of events. It was when the radio stations began calling up to ask for the record that the label realized it had a potential smash. Due credit for the succes of "Hurt" must go to the song's producer, Clyde Otis. Note: Frank Sinatra was going to tour to Australia in 1961, he had to choose from three singers to go with him, Connie Francis, Brenda Lee and Timi. Frank asked Timi Yuro. For Timi to be on this tour as an opening act for Frank Sinatra was regarded as a huge accolade for Timi, and was a prestigious close to her first year as a proffesional. One of the most enduring legends about Timi Yuro originated during the Sinatra tour. Reportedly, she was performing before a crowd of 15.000 at a Sydney arena when the P.A. system went dead, as the crowd began buzzing with disappointment, Timi hushed them and announced that, if everyone was quiet, they could still hear her sing. The crowd obliged, and Timi was right. While she was belting the back rows, Sinatra came onstage and began circling her, looking up and down. Timi was not amused, 'What's that matter with you babe?' she asked, 'Nothing kid,' Sinatra answered, 'I'm just looking for where the plug is'......
