Excellent, thank you.  Yes, it did work as the function only some months ago (I rarely use it but found that it wasn't working now).  Zsh on my distro has updated since then (now running 5.08).  Minor note, I removed the noglob in the function so the relevant lines read:

 yt() { [[ -z "$1" ]] || youtube-dl -q "$1" &; }
 alias yt='noglob yt'
