In 1968, in London, a very good rock band was formed, which was going to become one of the most successful, influential, and long-lasting progressive rock bands.
The band has one of the best titles – Yes – and the best artists – Jon Anderson – vocals, Chris Squire – bass, Peter Banks – guitar, Tony Kaye – keyboards, and Bill Bruford – drums.
Even if the band started with these wonderful artists, over the years nineteen musicians have been full-time members of it.
The band performs songs from rock, pop, blues, to even jazz songs or progressive rock, being one of the most successful bands in this last music genre.
Yes has sold 13.5 million RIAA-certified albums only in the US, they won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and five Grammy nominations between 1985 and 1992.
In 1971, Yes recorded the free Roundabout piano sheets, and released the song in January 1972, as part of the band’s album named Fragile, and also as a single.
The song was released as a progressive music genre song, having Long Distance Runaround on its B-side.
Roundabout has many different versions with different lengths – the album version, the TM Gold Disc version, the single edit, the rehearsal edits, and the early rough mix.
In the album version, the free Roundabout piano sheet music has a length of 8:29 minutes and it was written by Jon Anderson and Steve Howe, with the production of Eddie Offord and Yes.
When released, Roundabout peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 10 on the Cash Box Top 100 singles charts and it brought the writers a BMI Award.
Roundabout became one of the most famous songs of the band and due to its success, it has been performed at every concert since its release, has been used in media in movies, TV shows, and all kinds of events.
