Yesterday's Love Songs/Today's Blues is a 1963 studio album by Nancy Wilson, arranged by Gerald Wilson.[4] It was her highest charting album, entering the Billboard Top 200 on January 25, 1964,[5] and ultimately reaching No. 4. It remained on the chart for 42 weeks.[6] The 1991 CD edition featured a different cover image and added five bonus tracks drawn from other sessions with Gerald Wilson (two from the album How Glad I Am, and three from singles).
