    There are so many versions of this song sung by different singers. In my view Willie's is the best. No yelling, no complaining about life, but a deep soul searching what life is. It is an introspecting song, a masterpiece lasts forever. Salute to the song writer and the singer.

    I have heard this song sung so many times by many Great Artists, but Willi's rendition and voice has brought the real picture out what this great artist, writer Charles Aznavour was expressing either of himself or someone he knew. Certainly made me stop and reflect. It brought tears like rain to my eyes. There are many great songs , but Yesterday is a song of not just a moment or event, but of a whole life. All walks of life. This song will be sung and heard till the end of time. Thanks to Seda for the presentation in this video and for Willie's Great Rendition. Very powerful. I don't know what else to say. This writer said it all. Tears and Love

This is so sweet and sad but makes me think of a cool grandpa playing and singing an evening by a fire with his kids and grands listening respectfully. Maybe his oldest son breaking out the harmonica just at the right time. This song goes on replay for sure❤

    I just love singers that have their own style. Willie,Ray,Frank,Bing,Elvis, just to name a few. They can take songs that have been recorded by many artists and still make the song their own. I, myself have been listening to this beautiful music for over 60 years and so much of it still brings chills to my bones and tears to my eyes. I really don't know anything about modern music (the last 30 years) but I hope that there are still artists that can be as memorable as the ones that I love.
