Didn't Cream split up in 1969? That was before Rick Wakeman joined Yes.

Members has indeed come and gone in Yes. Only the bass player remains
the same - but that is only because he owns the name. And no place
has seen so many changes as the keyboards.
The current keyboard player in Yes is - believe it or not - Geoff Downes.
He played on the Drama album together with his mate from Buggles, Trevor
Horn on voclas. Yes released their first studio albun in years this year,
"Fly From Here" and it's centred around a piece that Horn/Downes presented
for Yes in the time of the Drama album, but it was never recorded. Downes
replaced a Wakeman on keyboards - Oliver Wakeman, Rick's son!
(And the singer these days is a Benoît David, since Jon Anderson has
health problems. David does not sound that much Anderson - but he sounds
a whole lot like Trevor Horn!)

And he's a pretty remarkable bass player ;-)

And there's another Wakeman keyboardist - son Adam, who has played on
several records with Rick. According to Wikipedia, he's also playing with
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Talented family.
