Hey Gang,

It was 48 years ago today that the most recorded song in history was released in America.

On this day in 1965 the Beatles released the uber classic "Yesterday" in America.  It was from the 1965 LP "Help".  So far it's been covered over 2200 times.  In fact, the record company released this song in America before they released it in England.  So the first time "Yesterday" went into the top 10 on the British charts it was a cover version done my Matt Monro.

It was voted the song of the Century in 1999 on a BBC Radio 2 poll. Some of the others who have recorded are kind of big names in music.  They include Ray Charles and Frank.
