ONLY YESTERDAY
Music by Richard Carpenter
Lyrics by John Bettis
Released in the spring of
1975 as the follow-up to “Please Mr. Postman,” “Only Yesterday” peaked at #4 in
the United States and became a hit in a number of countries, but not to the
extent of its immediate predecessor. Still, Karen sounds marvelous and the
production sparkles, as does the late Roger Young’s impressive engineering.
