Musical Genre: Progressive Rock

Although you may not have heard of John Young, you've probably heard him without realizing it. He plays keyboards and sings for The Scorpions, Bonnie Tyler, Greenslade and the John Young Band. He also has done work with such artists as Asia, John Wetton, Fish, Paul Rodgers, Qango, Uli Jon Roth, Roy Wood, George & Ringo, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Bon Jovi, E.L.O., The Moody Blues, Wishbone Ash, Van Morrison, and many more.

He's also a great songwriter, who has written songs for John Wetton, Fish, and his own band, as well as for C.N.N., the BBC, ITV, C4, Discovery Channel, History, National Geographic, and more.

I saw him play a few years ago at the John Wetton Fan Convention, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is a fan of John Wetton's solo music, since you can definitely hear his influence on that.
