The second single from "Horizon" was "Only Yesterday".  This Carpenter/Bettis composition was released on March 14, 1975 and peaked at number 4 on May 24, 1975. 

 

The three slots above it that week were:

#3 "Jackie Blue" - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

#2 "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" - Freddie Fender

#1 "Shining Star" - Earth, Wind and Fire

​

This would be the last top ten single on the Billboard Hot 100.  It was their 11th number one on the Adult Contemporary chart.

​

For me, this is one of my favorites.  Great song.  Great arrangement.  Nice instrumental solo.  It also shows Karen's low range.  The opening pitch is an Eb below middle C.  I purchased this on eBay.

​

The "b" side is "Happy" from the album "Horizon".
