It's interesting to read several posts again in Harry's link.
I vote for "Yesterday Once More".
I'd like to say "Only Yesterday" because this is my second favorite song. And "Only Yesterday" should have been bigger hit. Song itself, arrangement and Karen's vocal!!
My most favorite song is "I Need To Be In Love", but when it was released I was hearing American hit chart radio, I didn't feel it would be No. 1 in the U.S..
Maybe I'm satisfied with the fact that this song made hit again many years later here in Japan.
I started to hearing American Top 40 on the day that "Please Mr. Postman" was at the top of the chart. So I hadn't heard "Yesterday Once More" charted in American chart at real time. Lately I often hear American Top 40 repeat. In one of broadcast Casey Kasem said something like he said the last week "Yesterday Once More" or another song would be No. 1 this week, but not. "Yesterday Once More" could have been at No. 1 at Billboard chart like CashBox chart.
They toured, they released "Now & Then" and "Singles 1969-1973", played softball for charity. I heard radio interview taped around that time. Richard talked about Mono and they explained about recording of "Sing" and such.
If they made appearance on TV more, "Yesterday Once More" could have made bigger hit. This song has great melody and beautiful arrangement. And Karen's drums like "Please Mr. Postman"!! Karen's vocal. And Richard added some like guitar for single.
This song was very popular oversea. If promotional video was made, it would have made much bigger hit around the world.
