Caped Crusader Rick Wakeman in the 1970s | 
Rick Wakeman was a founder member of prog rock heroes YES and also a member of successful British folk-rock band The Srawbs ('Part Of The Union' was their only UK no1) . Among the many sessions the multi-talented Wakeman has done are sessions for David Bowie's Space Oddity (mellotron) and Hunky Dory.

TrishB On Hunky Dory he played the piano on Oh! you Pretty Things, Changes and probably his most famous piano part - Life On Mars. A brilliant musician with a penchant for cloaks and wizard hats, Wakeman says of those times: 'I went around to Davids and he played me the three songs back to back, they are the most beautiful three songs I've ever heard played together' 7y
TrishB This is the only book I've (hubby!) ever read on his life in the 70's , but he has written several of his own and there are plenty on both him and YES. A decent read. 7y
Marchpane Excellent post (MrB!) 👏 Just imagine hearing those three songs for the first time *chills* 😮 7y

TrishB @Cinfhen I'm working on it! He's very quiet and shy and doesn't think he can match up to everyone on here!! Which is rubbish of course. Maybe by the time we get to January! 7y
