Morning has broken by cat Stevens. He makes the song so peaceful.

[@1177kc]

My most favorite song of all songs.

[@JadedBelle]

I have awesome memories of my grandmother singing this song. She played Cat, Aaron Neville, and James Taylor every weekend morning. Peaceful vibes!

[@rtwbikerider]

Before Rick Wakeman was the keyboard player with Yes, he was a successful studio musician. His recollection of the recording of Morning Has Broken is fascinating and humorous. Check out this audio clip for the story and a solo piano performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGWae56Kobefe7M

I just love this song. It just washes over you.

[@ronforeman2556]

"Morning Has Broken" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJS8noF_eNN8qNk is actually a Christian Hymn of Thanksgiving, with text by English poet and children's author Eleanor Farjeon set to the Scottish Gaelic tune "Bunessan." It first appeared in the second edition of Songs of Praise (1931). In 1971, Yes keyboardist/composer Rick Wakeman happened to be recording his album "The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth" while Cat Stevens was in an adjacent studio working on songs for what would become "Teaser and the Firecat." Wakeman sat down and began to improvise a piano accompaniment to "Morning has Broken," which was a rough sketch of what would later become "Catherine Howard" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnmyfqKXbcSsl9E . Engineers rolled the tape, and the rest is history. Except that Wakeman would not receive due credit or royalties for his contribution until sometime after 2000.

Oh my goodness Vinny yes . Where do the children play, is a great track, How do I tell you that I love you, ( not you Vinny) is also so beautiful . Cat Stevens converted to Islam., or maybe just returned to it ?, He is now Yusuf Islam . He was refused entry to the US , maybe shortly after 9/11. .. Your brothers and sisters in the UK will be thinking of you all tomorrow .. 20 years on. 🙏🏻🙏🏾❤️💜

Other Cat Stevens songs to do: Peace Train, Father & Son, Oh Very Young, Morning Has Broken.

[@JUSTMAR1E]

Definitely those

[@angelamurphy3260]

Where Do The Children Play is another good one by Cat. Tea For the Tillerman us a fantastic album.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Why did he use THAT title? Probably because he likes 'em young.

That's one we sang in Chorus in High School.

[@ChrisKrolak]

One of my favorite songs back in 1971. The radio was filled with so much great music back then.

[@TheHummingbirder]

Us boomers were heartbroken when he retired. He just walked away from it. He was always a spiritual sort. He sang a children's hymn called "Morning Has Broken" that is rendered so sweetly it will bring a tear of joy to your eye. You might want to follow that with "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins singers, if you haven't already.

[@youllis]

He still sings though and made albums later too after his break right?

[@rollomaughfling380]

He came out of retirement 15 years ago, and is still making wonderful music. Look up "Yusuf Islam."

Jamel, every year on New Year's Day I make a point of listening to his song "Peace Train", to kick off another trip around the sun. It is definitely your kind of tune. Cat is all about peace & love, love & peace.

[@sonnyd1222]

I suggest the "Yusuf/ Cat Stevens - Peace Train (live Majikat - Earth Tour 1976)" version. It's a fantastic live performance.

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

When you can, check out Cat Stevens'/Yusuf's "Morning Has Broken." Rick Wakeman of Yes wrote and plays the piano part on the studio recording of it.

[@scottchapin2323]

there's a great story about that.

[@IllumeEltanin]

@@scottchapin2323 Do you have a link to the story?

[@melodymcdonald2140]

The piano in this song is gorgeous.

[@TheDivayenta]

From Wikipedia- “ "Morning Has Broken" is a hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan". It is often sung in children's services and in funeral services.”

[@IllumeEltanin]

Ah... Also from Wikipedia. Cat Stevens' recording, with a piano arrangement arranged and performed by Rick Wakeman, led to the song being known internationally. When shaping "Morning Has Broken" for recording, Stevens started with the hymn, which took around 45 seconds to sing in its basic form. Producer Paul Samwell-Smith told him he could never put something like that on an album, and that it had to be at least three minutes, though an acoustic demo of an early Stevens version lasts almost three minutes. Prior to the actual recording Stevens heard Wakeman play something in the recording booth. It was a rough sketch of what would later become "Catherine Howard". Stevens told Wakeman that he liked it and wanted something similar as the opening section, the closing section and, if possible, a middle section as well. Wakeman told Stevens he could not as it was his piece destined for a solo album, but Stevens persuaded him to adapt his composition. In 2000, Wakeman released an instrumental version of "Morning Has Broken" on an album of the same title. That same year he gave an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live in which he said he had agreed to perform on the Cat Stevens track for £10 and was "shattered" that he was omitted from the credits, adding that he never received the money either. On his return to performance as Yusuf Islam, Stevens made a payment to Wakeman and apologized for the original non-payment, which he said arose from confusion and a misunderstanding on the record label's part. On a documentary aired on British television, Wakeman stated that he felt Stevens's version of "Morning Has Broken" was a very beautiful piece of music that had brought people closer to religious truth. He expressed satisfaction in having contributed to this. Wakeman included a 3:42 version on his 2017 album of piano arrangements, Piano Portraits.

Thats not exactly true, is it? Sure, the guy had a lot of hits but there was plenty of room for other artists too!

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) has an amazing "Best of" list. He disappeared from the english charts while he was focusing on Islamic music for a while. I was glad when returned to playing his old hits.

YES, Jamel! FINALLY, you got to Cat Stevens/Yusuf (I've been asking for so long). 😄 He's an amazing singer/songwriter who started in the 60's, and he's still active til today. I recommend some classics; "Peace Train", "Oh, Very Young", "Father and Son", a more recent release "Roadsinger", (about his journey in the industry after converting to Islam). And my most favorite song, "Moonshadow". There is so much more, but that's a start. Thank you so much, Jamel! ☮ out. ✌🏼

"Don't Be Shy" "Oh, Very Young" "Here Comes My Baby" "Katmandu" "The First Cut Is The Deepest" "Father and Son" "Morning Has Broken" "Moonshadow" "Where Do The Children Play?" "On The Road To Find Out" "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out" "(I Never Wanted) To Be A Star" "Daytime" "I Want To Live In A Wigwam" and "Peace Train" are ALL songs that I am confident that you will adore.

This is the sort of soul inspired music the world is missing. His poetry of lyrics are beautiful. Moonshadow is a particular favorite, and this one. Oh, Very Young One, and, Peace Train, and, If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out, and, Another Saturday Night, are all great songs. We used to sing Morning Has Broken in church, an old Anglican hymn, always at the once a month guitar service, and if we didn't have anyone on guitar, then they played Cat Stevens' singing it to lead us. The movie, Harold and Maude, used Cat Stevens for the soundtrack.

@@Newfie-zc7ug Yes! I believe Jimmy Page was the session guitarist when he recorded the album.

So many good Donovan songs. Season of the Witch is a great place to start.

My Dad loves Yusuf/Cat Stevens, and he would have it playing on the stereo when I was little. I have learned to really appreciate the lyrics as I got older, but I have always loved his guitar playing. “Moon shadow” was my jam growing up.

UK Reggae artist, Maxi Priest, had a huge hit with this song in the 80s!

Jimmy Cliff had previously covered it.
