Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday (Single):Stevie Wonder

"Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" is a 1969 soul song written by Ron Miller and Bryan Wells, released by American Motown singer-songwriter-musicianStevie Wonder on the album My Cherie Amour. The song continued Wonder's success on the pop charts. It reached #7 on the pop singles chart and become Wonder's ninth Top 10 single of the 1960s. The single fared even better on the UK singles chart where it reached #2 in December 1969. Stevie recorded also an Italian version with the title "Solo te, solo me, solo noi" (Only you, only me, only us). The song was later reworked by Jennifer Rush on her 1985 Movin'album. This unusual, electronic version became well known in Europe - particularly Germany where the album reached No. 1 for 14 weeks.
