English bassist, singer and founding member of the progressive-rock band Yes, noted for melodic, lead-style bass playing and a long career from the 1960s until 2015.

Founding member of Yes (1968). Only member to appear on every Yes studio album. Widely associated with the Rickenbacker 4001 bass and a prominent figure in 1970s progressive rock.

Joe Cavalli calls Fish Out Of Water the best solo work from Yes members, praising its grandiose, semi-orchestrated prog. The review highlights contributions from Patrick Moraz, Bill Bruford and Mel Collins. Tracks singled out include "Hold Out Your Hand", "You By My Side", "Silently Falling", "Lucky Seven" and "Safe". Recommended for fans of classic 1970s progressive rock.

For:Fans of classic 1970s progressive rock (Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP); listeners who appreciate intricate, orchestral prog and virtuosic bass playing.

 Without a doubt, this is the best solo work from that incredible and relentless group called Yes.
