Yesterday did eventually go Top 10 for The Beatles in 1976

I checked my Guinness book of hit records and The Beatles got to number eight with Yesterday!

Thank's Mike :) .............I knew the Beatles could not release the song in the 60's as not all of them played on the track, so Yesterday was not allowed to be released as a single at the time............ and Matt was the first artist to have a hit with the song :) :)

Thanks for including Bea Wain in this game, Robert. She's one of my favourites, as well as the Larry Clinton Orchestra. I hope she's doing well; she turns 96 on April 30 and was still singing a few years ago.

This song could have applied to the previous round also.

2. I Get Along Without You Very Well
