Back in 1974, when YES was looking for a replacement for keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who left for the first time, Vangelis was chosen by vocalist and leader Jon Anderson, but the vacancy was eventually filled by Patrick Moraz. Nevertheless, both did not leave thoughts of cooperation. In the fall of 1979, Anderson called Vangelis again. In January 1980, Jon and Vangelis made their debut on Polydor with the album Short Stories
