Timi Yuro - Rosemary Timothy Yuro, August 4, 1940 – March 30, 2004, born in Chicago, Illinois, United States, into an Italian-American family whose original name may have been Aurro. Frank Sinatra was Impressed by her voice, He asked Yuro to support him on his 1962 Australian tour.

In 1952, the family moved to Los Angeles, where they opened an initially unsuccessful restaurant, in which Timi worked. But her obsession with music led her to be sent to Lilian Goodman, the voice-coach for such celebrities as Frankie Laine and Kirk Douglas. Amazed by the impoverished teenager's vocal power, Goodman gave her free lessons. By the age of 14, Yuro was singing in clubs, to the displeasure of her mother Edith, who once interrupted her performance, declaring: "This is your last song, young lady!"

Ever-confident, Timi persuaded her parents to turn their restaurant into a music venue, and its prospects changed. Even Elvis Presley reportedly went to eat pizza at Alvoturno's.

In 1959, Yuro signed up with Liberty Records, though, for two frustrating years, she was given bland, inappropriate material. She eventually forced her way into a board meeting, where she sang a version of the 1954 Roy Hamilton R&B hit, Hurt, to Liberty's president, Al Bennett. Suitably impressed, he arranged for her to be recorded by Clyde Otis, Dinah Washington and Nat King Cole's producer. No one understood her like Otis, Yuro recalled, apart from her mother. Hurt was a number four US pop hit in September 1961 - and reached 22 in the R&B charts.

"You Belong to My Heart" is the name of an English-language version of the Mexican Bolero song "Solamente una vez" (Only One Time, in English). Bing Crosby and the Xavier Cugat orchestra released a version of the song by Decca Records . It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on May 24, 1945, and lasted 9 weeks on the chart, peaking at #4.

"You Belong to My Heart" is the title of the English language version of the Mexican song "Solamente una vez" (Only Once), composed by Mexican songwriter Agustín Lara (1900-1970) Both versions have been very popular and interpreted by several artists.


LYRICS:

You belong to my heart
Now and forever
And our love had its start
Not long ago!

We were gathering stars while a million guitars played our love song
When I said, "I love you", every beat of my heart said it, too!

'Twas a moment like this
Do you remember?
And your eyes threw a kiss
When they met mine!

Now, we own all the stars, and a million guitars are still playing
Darling, you are the song, and you'll always belong to my heart!

THIS HAS THE MOST
INTRIGUING ORCHESTRATION, ARRANGEMENT AND VOCAL-BACK UP SINGERS I HAVE EVER HEARD. MY FAVORITE SINGER

MY COMMENT IS ON THE VIDEO THAT HAS A PHOTO OF HER FACE, A LEFT PROFLE SHOT, WITH RUSTY-COLORED HUES TO ACCENTUATE HER RED HAIR, IN THE THUMBNAIL. I JUST RECENTLY DISCOVERED THIS OBSCURE SINGER, WHO POSSESSED ON OF THE GREATEST VOICES EVER. SHE RANKS AMONG THE BEST OF ALL TIME.
