Yes - Yesterday and Today

This isn't too far from a Bacharach/Warwicke number, is it? (I mean that as a good thing.)

Most of Yes 60s output was covers of Lennon/McCartney and Stephen Stills, so why not a Bacharach cover?
This one however is an original y Jon Anderson, but now that you mention it, it would have sounded even better if Dionne Warwick had done it!

Thanks for chiming in, Frasse! Don't forget their cover of America by Simon & Garfunkel!

I have to "give props" to Jon for writing and singing this. Great chord progression.

Bacharach and David were one of the strongest songwriting partnerships ever, in my opinion. I love Dionne Warwick's interpretations; but not as much as Dusty's.

I can hear the Bacharach in this, too.
