The 1983 song that saved Yes from oblivion: “This is going to be a hit”No one was expecting British prog-rock heavyweights Yes to top the US singles chart in 1983, even their most loyal fans. Yes seemed destined to stand as an old, pointed wizard hat. The seeds of ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ were originally intended for a solo album, but his Cinema members all dug its poppy hook and single potential. Shooting to the top of the Hot 100, Yes pulled off the most unlikely comeback against all musical odds. To this day, ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ and its 90125 album still stand as the proggers’ most successful records.
