"What a difference a day makes"

"What a Diff'rence a Day Made" is a popular song originally written in Spanish by Maria Grever, a Mexican composer in 1934. Originally the song was known as Cuando Vuelva A Tu Lado ("When iReturn To Your Side"). The song is also known in English as "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes".

The English lyrics were written by Stanley Adams, and was played by Harry Roy & his Orchestra. It was published in late 1934. The most successful early recording, in 1934, was by the Dorsey Brothers.

Dinah Washington won a Grammy Award in 1959 for Best Rhythm and Blues Performance with this song. Her version was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. It also earned her her first top ten Pop hit, reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

There have been any number of artists who've covered the song including:-
Julie Dawn & Roy Marsh, Frank Deniz and his Spirits of Rhythm, Diana Ross, Sarah Vaughan, Renee Olstead, Aretha Franklin and Rod Stewart.

My favourite by a country mile was the Disco cover recorded by Esther Philips in 1975, which went to number 2 in the charts.
