Wonderful classic. Boomers are enjoying a nostalgia trip hearing this going back to 1969.

Another example of great songs you hardly ever hear on the radio……great times, great era……I lived through the best era of music 50s, 60, 70s and 80s………wouldn’t have missed it for the world!

Me too, I’m in my 70’s and the music from that era is second to none. Watch Pat sing the same song on a 5:03 KZfaq. After the song he talks about the years he play in Ricky Nelson’s band. Good stuff

I heard this song for the first time just a few years ago, but then I live in Sweden, and I guess it was a hit only in the US and Canada, unfortunately. Should have been a #1 everywhere. Too bad they - and Pat - didn't have more hits. A great great voice. That song captures the happy times of the 60's. RIP Pat.

The Spiral Starecase was an American pop band, best known for its 1969 single "More Today Than Yesterday". Hailing from Sacramento, California, United States, the band was recognizable for its horns and lead singer/guitarist Pat Upton's voice. "More Today Than Yesterday" peaked at number #1 on April 23, 1969 on KHJ Boss Radio, at #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number #7 on the Cash Box Top 100. It is ranked as the 50th biggest U.S. hit of 1969. The group did record many songs for Columbia Records including several singles. None of those however could match the success of "More Today Than Yesterday", and the group disbanded approximately 18 months after the chart topping song was released. Poor management, squabbles over finances and a lawsuit also contributed to the original line-ups decision to call it quits.

The original is in the key of A major. This is F# major. Quite a few steps down.

I DON'T THINK SO, A IS TOO FAR FROM F#. I'M A NIGHTCLUB SINGER IN THE PHILIPPINES AND A KEYBOARDIST AS WELL THAT'S WHY I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO TRANSPOSE FROM DIFFERENT MALE TO FEMALE OR FEMALE TO MALE KEYS, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT HOW MANY NOTES WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE KEYS. AND IF YOU ARE A SINGER, BY SINGING ALONG WITH THE MUSIC, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY NOTICE IF IT'S NOT IN ITS ORIGINAL KEY. I'M PRETTY SURE HE SANG IT WITH THE ORIGINAL KEY.@@tomkearney3075
