Yesterday

“Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they’re here to stay

Oh, I believe in Yesterday”

—McCartney & Lennon, The Beatles, 1965

My favorite Beatles song has the most cover versions of any song ever written according to Guinness Book of World Records. One particularly good version of the song is a gospel interpretation that I heard one day about 20 years ago on the Oprah Winfrey Show. As far as I know, it was never recorded. The very popular group, The Winans were guests on the show one day. In the episode one of the Winans brothers sang the tune a cappella. It was a gorgeous version of the song retold as a salvation story. One of these days I hope to find it.

Stay tuned
