The Spiral Starecase的主唱與吉它手Pat Upton七月27日去世(75歲)，他去世之前已長期為病魔所苦。
Pat
Upton出生於阿拉巴馬州Geraldine，當年在空軍服役的時候，曾在加州Sacramento和四位同僚參加過一個才藝競賽，退伍後他們取名the Fydallions，在當地歌唱界表現得到Columbia唱片公司的青睞，於是找他們簽約，但是條件就是要改團名，他們參考一部老電影的片名"The Spiral Staircase"，改團為the
Spiral Starecase。
有一回Pat Upton在拉斯維加的一家旅館房間裡回味著Bobby Goldsboro的歌，突然福至心靈的寫了"More Today Than Yesterday"這首1969年獲得12名的暢銷曲，後來他們還有幾首歌如"Baby What I
Mean" (#111-1968)、"No
One For Me To Turn To" (#52-1969) 及 "She's Ready"
(#72-1970)，但是名次都不好。
1970年the Spiral
Starecase因團員不合而宣告解散，Pat Upton改幫Rick
Nelson當伴奏吉他手，然後回阿拉巴馬州的Guntersville開一家俱樂部當老闆，這家俱樂部也是Rick Nelson因飛機失事喪命前最後演出的地方。
More
Today Than Yesterday
SPIRAL
STARECASE
I
don't remember what day it was
I
didn't notice what time it was
All
I know is that I fell in love with you
And
if all my dreams come true
I'll
be spending time with you
Every
day's a new day in love with you
With
each day comes a new way of loving you
Every
time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And
if all my dreams come true
I'll
be spending time with you
Oh,
I love you more today than yesterday
But
not as much as tomorrow
I
love you more today than yesterday
But,
darling, not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow's
date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid,
we don't need ya now, be on your way
I
thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And
I always will be true
I
know you feel the same way, too
Oh,
I love you more today than yesterday
But
not as much as tomorrow
I
love you more today than yesterday
But
only half as much as tomorrow
Every
day's a new day
Every
time I love ya
Every
way's a new way
Every
time I love ya
Every
day's a new day
Every
time I kiss ya
Every
day's a new day
Fade
out...
