Jon Anderson first joined a small British band, called
The Warriors, in the mid-1960s. Towards the
end of the decade, Anderson and bass guitarist
Chris Squire formed a progressive rock band
called Yes. This band went on to have phenomenal
success for 11 years. In 1980, Anderson left Yes due
to lengthy quarrels over which direction the band should take in the
music. For several years, Anderson worked on some collaborative albums
with Greek synthesizer composer Vangelis, as
well as some solo albums. In 1983, Anderson returned to a reformed
Yes, contributing lead vocals on the album "90125",
which featured Yes' only number one hit, "Owner of a Lonely Heart".
After a brief departure from Yes in the late 1980s,
he returned, and the band continues to make albums to this day.
