Chris Squire, bassist of progressive rock band Yes, dies Posted by TBN_News On 06/29/2015 (4 March 1948 – 27 June 2015) Christopher Russell Edward "Chris" Squire was an English musician and singer-songwriter. He was best known as the bassist and founding member of the progressive rock band Yes. He was the only member to appear on each of their 21 studio albums, released from 1969 to 2014. Born in the Kingsbury area of London, Squire took an early interest in church music and sang in the local church and school choirs. After taking up the bass guitar at age sixteen, his earliest gigs were in 1964 for The Selfs, which later evolved into The Syn. In 1968, Squire formed Yes with singer Jon Anderson; he would remain the band's sole bassist for the next 47 years. Squire was widely regarded as the dominant bassist among the English progressive rock bands, influencing peers and later generations of bassists with his incisive sound and elaborately contoured, melodic bass lines. His name was associated with his trademark instrument, the Rickenbacker 4001. In May 2015, Squire announced a hiatus from Yes after he was diagnosed with acute erythroid leukemia. Squire died on 27 June at his home in Phoenix, Arizona. The band's first show of their tour with Toto on 7 August 2015 will mark the first Yes concert performed without Squire.[2] From 1991 to 2000, Rickenbacker produced a limited edition signature model bass in his name, the 4001CS. Squire released two solo albums, Fish Out of Water (1975) and Chris Squire's Swiss Choir (2007). On 19 May 2015, Yes announced that Squire had been diagnosed with acute erythroid leukemia, and would take a break from performing while receiving treatment. On 27 June, Squire died from the illness, aged 67, less than six weeks after his diagnosis, while receiving treatment in his adopted hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. Yes' official Facebook page confirmed the news the next day. Copyright © 2021 thebaynet.com. All rights reserved. Page 1.

Your story matters to us. Citation Weiner, R.G. (2008). [Review of the book Beyond and Before: The Formative Years of Yes by Peter Banks]. Popular Music and Society, 31(1), 136-139. https://doi.org/10.1080/03007769908591748 Citable Link http://hdl.handle.net/2346/1546 Terms of Use CC-BY Title page template design credit to Harvard DASH. 136 Book Reviews Hammond’s myopic vision, his unrelenting determination, and his deep personal sorrows, but to his friends and supporters Hammond was a trying project. Perhaps, as Prial suggests, Hammond’s relationship to the Vanderbilts did him more good in his early years in music than his social skills. There are questions unanswered and undeveloped in this biography related to Hammond the man, such as his falling out with Aretha Franklin or his quick parting with Dylan. Each chapter of this book comes (another assault on your pocketbook) with a wonderful ‘‘discography’’ that should slow down the pace of reading but will contribute to a great start in building a library of American music of the 20th century. It is quite something how much music Hammond had a role in, and this portion of the book is an important reminder of the times and genres Hammond touched. As with all biographies there are problems and limitations. For those of us raised in the second half of the century, The Producer fails to deliver the same magic surrounding the discovery and signing of ‘‘our’’ heroes as it does around the early stars.

Bands that helped to contribute to that wave had been predecessor to conceptual music in appearance and in sound during the late 1960s and 1970s, and the band Yes continued their presence through the following decade and on their album “90125”; the title originated from the band’s then record label ATCO and its catalog number that was misprinted. Aside from that, it was the most commercially produced albums in the band’s discography and of the decade, and it did not hurt that they became a major part of the MTV age in music and videos.By far, the single “Owner of a Lonely Heart” is the most memorable of the tracks on the album that is followed by “Leave It” and “It Can Happen.” Each song had a music video that played in heavy rotation on the music video channel.
