"Yesterday Once More", written by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis, was a hit song by The Carpenters from their 1973 album Now & Then. "Yesterday Once More" preceded an Oldies Medley on the album, consisting of nine songs from the 1960s. At the end of the song a motorcycle engine was heard to transition into the first song of the Oldies Medley: "Fun, Fun, Fun". The motorcycle was mixed out on The Singles: 1969-1973 compilation. However, very few copies of that particular version are on CD.
According to Cash Box, on June 2, "Yesterday Once More" was the highest debut single, debuting at #71. On August 4, it skyrocketed to #1[1].
[edit] Theme
The lyrics are about remembering being young and listening to music on the radio. And how it brings back memory to the singer.
[edit] Cover versions
- Swedish pop and country singer Kikki Danielsson covered the song on her 2006 album I dag & i morgon.
