They played the song live together in 2020. Cat said in a number of earlier interviews that Rick wasn’t named on the record because of record companies not allowing their artists to play on other peoples records base din their contracts. That’s why many artists went under other names when appearing on other artists records at the time.

I am stunned! One of my favorite songs. I had always assumed it was a hymn adapted by Cat Steven’s. Then upon 3 minutes of googling, I find the author is a woman from the 1800’s who wrote children’s books, to the famous rift written by Rick Wakeman and finally getting to Cat Stevens. I love how Wakeman leaves his fingerprint, so to speak, in other compositions. Thank you for breaking it all down! I’m a long time piano player too, but honestly thought this was just a case of a key change. Soooo much more to the story!

Brilliantly done! I've been a huge Rick Wakeman fan since the early 70's, and have seen him in concert many times. I had the pleasure to meet him a couple of years ago, and there just isn't anybody on the planet who is more kind and gracious. His consistency in composing heart-touching music is incredible. His catalog is massive. I know, because I own everything I've been able to find, and I actively search for new things regularly. This particular song is a staple inn his solo set list and he always tells the story. I think he's received payment for his contribution, just in entertainment value alone. You are an excellent teacher, and made the explanation easy to follow and understand. I truly appreciate this video.

Not anything is new! According Wikipedia, when shaping "Morning Has Broken" for recording, Stevens had to start with a hymn which took around 45 seconds to sing in its basic form. Producer Paul Samwell-Smith told him he could never put something like that on an album, and that it needed to be at least three minutes in length, although an acoustic demo exists of Stevens playing an early version which lasts almost three minutes.Prior to the actual recording Stevens heard Wakeman play something in the recording booth. It was a rough sketch of what would later become "Catherine Howard". Stevens told Wakeman that he liked it and wanted something similar as the opening section, the closing section and, if possible, a middle section as well. Wakeman told Stevens he could not as it was his piece destined for a solo album, but Stevens persuaded him to adapt his composition.[5] The familiar piano intro and general structure of the piece may be attributed to Stevens or to Wakeman.

Always loved this song, and especially that thrilling piano part. Later, I sang the hymn in church, and our hymnal had the melody and all the words exactly the same, except, of course, for the piano. And since I'd heard the Stevens virsion first, it always frustrated me - that missing intro/outtro. So I took a few weeks/ months and painstakingly transcribed it, and then memorized it. But I had no idea how it came into being. Was pretty sure that Stevens himself hadn't written it but who did? Thanks to your video I now know the backstory and am much appreciative. Now I'm wondering what the copyright restrictions are for playing it in church.

As a person of a certain age, it’s really gratifying to see a younger generation appreciate the brilliance of the keyboards players with whom I grew up. As a Brit, I’m lucky to have seen Rick and Yes on many occasions and to have met Rick several times. The story of course is a great one and yes, as a previous comment has said, Cat Stevens (by then Yusef Islam) did eventually pay Rick, although if I recall correctly they agreed for the payment to go to charity! Tony Kaye, the original Yes keyboardist, was only interested at the time in playing his Hammond and piano. When Anderson and Squire persuaded Rick to leave The Strawbs and join Yes it really expanded their sound as Rick was happy to experiment with all of the keyboards of the 70s (Mellotron, Moog, Clavinet, Fender Rhodes etc.) I remember well the annual contest here in the UK between Rick and that other prog giant of the 70s, Keith Emerson, to claim the Melody Maker crown as top keyboards player. At Emerson’s memorial concert in Birmingham a few years back, Rick guested and commented that he and Emerson had tried many times to do an album together, but that “management” got in the way. Such a shame…..what an album that would have been! Thanks, Josh, for this excellent insight!

I saw Rick Wakeman's "Grumpy Old Rock Star" solo show in Toronto just a few years ago. The way he recounted it was that Cat Stevens phoned him up one evening saying he had the idea to record Morning has Broken, but it was too short as is for Radio, and so would Rick like to add a piano part? Rick told Cat to come by and play what he had so far, which he did. It was indeed short: like maybe 1 min altogether... Rick had been working on a piano riff for another piece which he thought might work as an intro. He played it for Cat who loved it, but even with the intro, it was still way too short. So Cat asked him for another piano solo after the first verse. It was still too short... So, they kept adding piano interludes until the piece eked over that minimum radio length. And yes, Rick didn't get paid his session fee until much later, but in his own words "I got paid in the end". Here is Rick himself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGi9qIScgJWdh9ksi=IWdVCkOTcl0RUPgL And I dunno: I'm pretty sure Rick Wakeman would have been more than capable of recording this in one day, and improvising all sorts of variations on this theme... He is one of the best keyboardists/arrangers in the genre.

When Yusuf (Cat) heard about the good-natured complaining from Rick, he was supposedly shocked - remember, he had walked away from the music business for many years. He did finally send Rick that (9 pounds?) payment for a session musician, 37 years later - he told it in one of the videos out there. I think Rick even donated the payment to Yusuf's charity - it wasn't about the money, it was the acknowledgment that he was a significant contributor to the success of the song.

He replaced Tony Kaye also a great keyboardist that was actually a co founding member previous to Fragile was on The Yes Album and best album in my opinion. Yes at that time was looking for a synthesiser/keyboardist and walla, they found Rick. Rick is such a great natured guy and FUNNY AS HELL!! He said that the Union Tour with YES was very enjoyable and nostalgic to him teaming up with almost all (less Peter Banks orig guitarist) of the founding members and Steve Howe 3rd The Yes Album 1970-71, Trevor Rabin (latter 1980's guitarist 90125 album). Ok recap. Jon Anderson co founder vocals, Chris Squire co founding bass, Tony Kaye co founder and Rick on keys, co founding drummer Bill Bruford and Alan White, Steve Howe, Trevor guitars at Union concert.
