  • It’s a huge privilege for the Aznavour family Mister Willie Nelson for you to have covered his song on your new Album ‘’First Rose Of Spring.’’
    He would have been very honored. Merci.❤️
    Mister Roy Clark was the first Country Singer In America who covered this song, year 1969. Peace to his soul.❤️

    I have heard this song sung so many times by many Great Artists, but Willi's rendition and voice has brought the real picture out what this great artist, writer Charles Aznavour was expressing either of himself or someone he knew. Certainly made me stop and reflect. It brought tears like rain to my eyes. There are many great songs , but Yesterday is a song of not just a moment or event, but of a whole life. All walks of life. This song will be sung and heard till the end of time. Thanks to Seda for the presentation in this video and for Willie's Great Rendition. Very powerful. I don't know what else to say. This writer said it all. Tears and Love

    Over the years I've heard Mr Nelson sing more than country and every song he's chosen to do always seemed made for him and him alone. This is so sweet and sad but makes me think of a cool grandpa playing and singing an evening by a fire with his kids and grands listening respectfully. Maybe his oldest son breaking out the harmonica just at the right time. This song goes on replay for sure❤

Things that can’t be changed. Now I’m in the twilight of my life just waiting for the final chapter to be written.. so remember when you’re writing your life’s story, choose the right words, make the right choices so that there are no regrets to dwell on. Life is a one way street, take it slow and easy and make the best of it.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Monsieur Aznavour when he was in concert in Southport, England. I believe it was in maybe 1975. I walked to the stage with a rose, and his back was to the audience as he was between songs and facing his orchestra behind him, They told him I was standing waiting for him to turn around, and he cme over to me and bent down, took the rose, held my hand and kissed me on the cheek and thanked me.....I was in awe of him...a fantastic artiste on stage. I then had to mke my wy back to my seat in the 5th row, I believe, with the whole theater watching. I tried to act as cool as a cucumber and then sat back beside my friend who didn't believe that I would do it, and just stared ahead lol
