Home > Jon & Vangelis

1 History

The two artists probably met in the progressive rock scene of London in the 1970s. Vangelis reputedly was to replace Rick Wakeman as a band member of Yes, but this never came to fruition. Nevertheless, Jon contributed vocals to Vangelis' Heaven and Hell (1975), harp to Opera Sauvage ( 1979), and vocals to See you later (1980).

The two embarked on a series of albums in 1979, producing the major hit "I hear you now". Anderson wrote the lyrics, and Vangelis composed the music. This was during one of Vangelis' most productive periods, and the experimentation on some of their tracks is audible.
