This date in Yesstory: a producer among producers


On this day back in 2004 the Prince's Trust concert Produced by Trevor Horn was held at London's Wembley Arena as a salute to the esteemed Mr. Horn featuring a slate of artists he'd worked with over the years including Grace Jones, ABC, Seal, Pet Shop Boys and those ensembles he was personally involved with: The Buggles, Art of Noise, and Yes.

This event marked the first of the YesWest semi-reunions in that Trevor joined Alan and Chris along with Steve Howe and Geoff Downes to perform one of the biggest hits of Horn's production career, "Owner of a Lonely Heart" along with "Cinema" from 90125.


Trevor was famously attired in the black-and-green shirt but instead of wielding his signature Strat he was playing a candy apple red model, and he sang lead on "Owner," one of the handful of times he has ever done so.  A DVD of the event footage was released in 2005.  It's interesting to note - in light of the recent R&RHoF Induction Ceremony - that Trevor and Steve have shared the stage at one-off appearances more times than one would assume.
