A hidden gem that we should be playing more in our daily life. Only Time Will Tell By the rock supergroup Asia. Written by Keyboardist composer Geoff Downes and vocalist bassist John Wetton for Asia’s self titled debut.
Which spent 9 weeks at #1 on billboard album charts in 82. The first single from the album, Heat of the Moment went to the top 5 and then Only Time Will Tell kept the album’s momentum going as it went to #17
ASIA consisted of lead vocalist, bassist John Wetton of King Crimson, Guitarist Steve Howe of Yes, Geoff Downes who also spent time in Yes as well as the Buggles with Trevor Horn, and Carl Palmer drummer of Emerson lake and Palmer
Up next Geoff Downes tells the behind this 80s classic and about Asia’s creative period during that first album.
