Yesterday Once More

For our first program of 2025, we are going further back in time and presenting old songs that were given a new arrangement later on. The tone is set by Nina Simone’s classy My Baby Just Cares For Me. Others keep the tone of the original such as The Lettermen with the Way You Look Tonight and Art Garfunkel’s lush arrangement of I Only Have Eyes For You. But other performers sing up tempo versions of old songs like Bobby Rydell’s inimitable style on That Old Black Magic and Ricky Nelson’s version of the Gershwin classic Summertime. Bobby Darin rocks out You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby while ex Aussie Frank Ifield sings his big hit I Remember You.

The post Our Albums appeared first on Yesterday Once More.

We’ve had some unusual themes in our program but ‘Sand’ must be one of the more unusual. Surprisingly, there are enough songs with ‘Sand’ or ‘Beach’ to choose from. 

This episode starts with America’s rousing ‘Sandman’, followed by Jimi Hendrix and his unmistakable guitar riffs with ‘Castles Made of Sand’. Going way back to the fifties is American singer Don Rondo’s ‘White Silver Sands’ and Rusty Draper’s sad story of the dead miner in ‘The Shifting Whispering Sands’. Cliff Richard and The Shadows (On The Beach), Jan and Dean (Surfin’ USA), and First Class (Beach Baby) provide the beach scene.
