The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His most successful and acclaimed albums are his first three progressive rock concept albums–The Six Wives of Henry VIII, the UK number-one Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
- AllMusic describes Wakeman as a "classically trained keyboardist extraordinaire who plied his trade with Yes and developed his own brand of live spectacular in a solo act." Born and raised in West London, Wakeman intended to become a concert pianist but quit the Royal College of Music in 1969 and became a sought after session musician.
- Amongst the estimated 2,000 sessions he did, he played on "Space Oddity" and "Life on Mars?" for David Bowie, "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens, and on tracks for Elton John, Marc Bolan, and Lou Reed.
