Monday again. Dammit!
Never mind, eh? Here's something/someone to take our minds off it...
Described as "the first of the blue-eyed soul singers", today would have been the 85th 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.
With a series of overwrought hits with over-emotional titles such as Hurt!, Permanently Lonely, What's a Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You) and The Love of a Boy, Miss Yuro was (understandably) given an obituary on her premature death in 2004 by none other than that other "blue-eyed soul" aficionado of angst Morrissey - who described her as his favourite singer!
On this Tacky Music Monday, however, I have found a rather camp interpretation of one of her tearful numbers for your delectation...
Gawd, I adore Scopitones!
Have a good week, dear reader.
