“Yesterdays”

Song by Ray Charles

Appears on

1968: A Portrait Of Ray

The lovely “Yesterdays” is a dramatic moment of soaring emotion on Ray Charles’ 1968 album A Portrait Of Ray. Heavy orchestration and a pained-sounding Ray, big as the universe and lonely as a distant star, mire “Yesterdays” in a thick soup of longing and looking back. The recording paved the way for his slow, lush music-for-lovers album I’m All Yours Baby!
