CHRIS ANDREWS - YESTERDAY MAN
I'm her yesterday man
well my friends that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
well my friends that's what I am
that's what I am her yesterday man

Please tell me something have you met an angel
someone too lovely to live on earth
well yesterday I thought I met an angel
but she wasn't worth all she seemed to be worth
and oh what a fool I have been
I was sure taken in

I'm her yesterday man
well my friends that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
well my friends that's what I am
that's what I am her yesterday man

There's some of the good
and then some of the bad kind
some of the others are in between
but all that I can say is
she is the worst kind
well I think you know just what I mean
and yet in spite all that I say
I'd take her back any day

I'm her yesterday man
well my friends that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
well my friends that's what I am
that's what I am her yesterday man

Chris Andrews !

Chris Andrews was born in Romford, Essex, England, and by his mid teens had formed his own group, Chris Ravel and the Ravers, and was playing at Soho venues which included the 2i's Coffee Bar and Flamingo Nightclub. On 14 March 1959, he made his British television debut, performing on the Oh, Boy! show. He would later return in April to perform a cover of Cliff Richard's, "Move It".
For Adam Faith, Andrews wrote "The First Time"(No.5 on the UK Singles Chart, (1963) and "We Are in Love" (No. 11, 1964), and then a string of hits for Sandie Shaw. They included "Girl Don't Come" (No. 3, 1964/65), "I'll Stop at Nothing" (No. 4, 1965), "Message Understood" (No. 6, 1965) and "Long Live Love" (No. 1, 1965). The latter remained a chart topper in the UK Singles Chart for three weeks. "Girl Don't Come" was covered by Cher on her debut album, All I Really Want to Do.
Also in 1965, Andrews as a solo artist, got to No. 3 in the same listings with "Yesterday Man", which peaked in Germany at No. 1 for four weeks, followed up with a No. 13 hit in the UK "To Whom It Concerns". The instrumental section of this song was used as the theme for RTÉ's long-running TV programme, The Late, Late Show, until 1999, and a re-arranged version returned as the show's theme music in September 2009. As well as obtaining a high placing in the UK chart with "Yesterday Man", it also climbed to No. 1 in Ireland and Germany. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Later releases were not as successful, but his own hits are seen as early examples of reggae influenced white pop music. Although his chart appearances dwindled in Britain by 1966, his chart topping success continued in mainland Europe for a number of years, particularly in Germany, and Andrews often recorded in foreign languages.
In South Africa, his later single releases proved particularly popular, with "Pretty Belinda" (1969), "Carol OK" and "Brown Eyes" (both 1970) all topping the charts there. "Yo Yo" reached No. 7 at the end of 1970.
Today, Andrews remains active in his career as a singer-songwriter, working primarily in continental Europe and in the United Kingdom. He lives with his second wife Alexandra, who is also his manager, in Germany and Spain.
