Paul McCartney Loves 1 Cover of The Beatles' 'Yesterday' More Than the Original
Paul McCartney really likes a cover of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” by a famous singer. He discussed his feelings about the singer in general.
The original version of “Yesterday” became a massive hit in the United States.
Paul McCartney said he sometimes considers The Beatles‘ “Yesterday” his favorite song. He liked one version of the song better than the Fab Four’s. On the other hand, he was less impressed with an Elvis Presley performance of “Yesterday.”
In the 2015 book Conversations with Paul McCartney, Paul discussed his favorite song. “When I’m asked which is my favorite song, it’s always a difficult question,” he said. “I sometimes say ‘Yesterday’ because it’s been covered by so many people.
“But more often I say ‘Here, There and Everywhere,'” he added. “It makes it on a number of levels. If it were someone else’s song, it would be one of my favorites.” For context, “Yesterday” became a massive hit while “Here, There and Everywhere” is an album track from Revolver that never became a single.
