There are probably a lot of people who think of “Yesterday” as being the quintessential Beatles song. It is certainly their most successful – from Wikipedia: “It remains popular today with more than 2,200 cover versions and is one of the most covered songs in the history of recorded music. ‘Yesterday’ was voted the best song of the 20th century in a 1999 BBC Radio 2 poll of music experts and listeners and was also voted the No. 1 pop song of all time by MTV and Rolling Stone magazine the following year. In 1997, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) asserts that it was performed over seven million times in the 20th century alone.”
