Decribed as "the first of the blue-eyed soul singers", today would have been the 70th birthday of one Timi Yuro, the vocal belter who had a string of hits Stateside before (like so many others) her star began to wane in the wake of the Beatles invasion.
Unsurprisingly, with hits such as Hurt!, Permanently Lonely, What's a Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You) and The Love of a Boy, Miss Yuro was given an obituary on her premature death in 2004 by none other than that other "blue-eyed soul" aficionado Morrissey - who described her as his favourite singer!
Here she is with a rather more camp little number for your delectation...
