    I like it but Stevie's version is what I'm used to hearing and it will be hard to top his version.

    Well I think Chris had so many great songs and many are underrated. And I'm more a Chris-fan than a Stevie-fan. But "Yester-Me..." was totally a song for Stevie, not for Chris. Or it just burned into our brains that it is HIS song because we haven't heard Chris' version at those days. For me it's no problem, I'm happy to listen to "Yester-Me..." by Chris too. Many greetings

    I hadn't noticed that her recording predated Stevie's. I agree that his is probably better but Chris does a very adequate job with it.

    Slightly off-topic, I often shop at a local organic grocery and they must subscribe to an oldies music service because there's always '60s stuff floating around, always heavy on the very familiar Motown and Brill stuff. The other day, though, I was surprised while in there to hear Chris singing "Don't Be too Long." It was the last place I would have expected to hear something as esoteric as that!

    You know im really starting to like CC version,i thought it was a cover and was not impressed with it,but now i know it was an original version i hear differently,Love it perfect 60s Motown sound, Although I want to go back there will always be my fave CC Song,i have seen her live a few times at Northern Soul weekenders and she still sounds -looks great,cheers.

    Stevie's version is slick and he handles the vocals superbly. This is more like a demo and not in a comfortable key for Chris - her vocal is telling. Nevertheless I do like it. Scores Chris 4 Stevie 10.

    If I’m not mistaken, according to The Complete Motown Singles there is a version originally done by Barbara McNair using the same track Stevie used.

    I like Chris Clark's version. I am used to Stevie Wonder's, but I like this. By the way, my favorite songs by her are "Mr. Maestro Play A Blue Sonata", "I Just Can't Forget Him", "Can I See You In The Morning", and "Whisper You Love Me Boy".

    I really like Chris's version of "How About You".

    One of her finest moments is "If You Should Walk Away".
