"Rhythm of Love" is a song by Yes. It appeared on the 1987 Big Generator album. It was released repeatedly as a single, alternating as the A-side or B-side of "Love Will Find a Way". It was also remixed many times, though, thus far, only two have seen a legal issue on CD; both appeared on the 1987 CD single, and have not seen an official release elsewhere. Paulinho Da Costa was brought in for percussion overdubs.[3] The song eventually became one of the band's most popular songs and appeared on a number of tours since 1987, eventually becoming the 18th most played song at Yes concerts, appearing 384 times as of 2009.[4]
Cash Box said that "John Anderson's vocals are in top form and bravely guide this tune along a smooth and rockin' path."[5]
A music video of the song, directed by Alex Proyas, also exists. It features individual shots of the band members playing, along with stop-motion animated robotic figures like a fish, a bird and an actual robot that becomes enamored with a human woman seen throughout.[6]
