They formed in 1979 after Vangelis had been rumoured to replace Rick Wakeman in Yes a few years before. Anderson had contributed to Vangelis' albums "Heaven and Hell", "See You Later" and "Opera Sauvage".
They released a total of four albums with Anderson writing the lyrics and Vangelis composing the music: "Short Stories" in 1980, "The Friends of Mr. Cairo" in 1981, "Private Collection" in 1983, and "Page of Life" in 1991, which got re-released in 1998 with some additional tracks of which Vangelis reportedly did not approve. There are also two compilations, called "The Best of Jon & Vangelis" (1984) and "Chronicles" (1994)

Until the cows come home
Yeah sometimes I want to say to you
Honey let's go be alone
You know sometimes it's just that easy
I want to treat you right
I want to spend the whole day with you
And even more in the night
I want to love you
Every day and every night
Every night and every day
You know sometimes I want to hold you
Until the cows come home
Yeah sometimes I want to say to you
Honey let's go be alone
You know sometimes it's just that easy
I want to treat you right
I want to spend the whole day with you
And even more in the night
Yeah sometimes it's just that easy
I want to love you
Every day and every night
Every night and every day
Every day and every night
Every night and every day

There is nothing better than Jon and Vangelis to pull me back to life... Today I was so sad... And listen to this music has gave me power to go on. I know life is hard to those who understands more its meanings. One day we find us full with love for the earth and for the others. And in another day, we are tired of those who never tried to be a better person. Almost all of my sadness times happens by loading the pains of the world on my shoulders. But everyone needs its time to grow. And I need to understand it too.
