Never saw "Yesterday," but this is ironic considering the Beatles, too, stole--yes stole--music from Black artists. It's not even just my opinion; they lost lawsuits about it. Always strange to me how Elvis was derided but the Beatles got a pass, despite directly lifting bass lines and lyrics from Chuck Berry and other pioneering Black rock and roll musicians.
