"Changes" is a song by the English musician #DavidBowie from his 1971 album #HunkyDory. #RCARecords then released it as a #single from the album on 7 January 1972. Written following his promotional tour of America in early 1971, "Changes" was recorded at #TridentStudios in London in July that year. Co-produced by Bowie and #KenScott, it featured #RickWakeman on piano and the musicians who would later become known as #theSpidersFromMars—#MickRonson, #TrevorBolder.

"Heart of the Sunrise" is a #progressiveRock song by British band Yes. It is the closing track on their fourth album, 1971's #Fragile. The compositional credits go to #JonAnderson, #ChrisSquire, and #BillBruford, though keyboardist #RickWakeman contributed some uncredited sections. The song eventually rose to become the band's fifth most-played song, and appears on #Yessongs, #ClassicYes, #InAWordYes1969, and many other studio and live retrospectives.

he's now talking about how the capes came around, and it's a practical thing because Rick felt a bit self conscious jumping around all his keyboards 'like a spider'
A showbiz seamstress in Cleveland (US) birthed the first one and a legend was born.
