Description
The former lead singer and creative force behind the group YES, Jon Anderson stands as one of the most recognizable voices in progressive rock. His distinctive high tenor remained a fixture on mainstream rock radio for decades, fronting the band's biggest hits throughout the 70's and 80's including ''I've Seen All Good People,'' ''Roundabout,'' and ''Owner of a Lonely Heart.'' He was also primarily responsible for many of the band's epic pieces like ''Close to the Edge,'' ''Awaken'' and ''The Gates of Delirium.'' Since parting ways with YES, Anderson has continued his idiosyncratic musical path, touring and releasing solo records while delving into folk and world music.
