Yusuf/Cat Stevens on 50 years of Tea for the Tillerman

[@elle39]

tea for the tillerman was my go to album in high school.... wonderful!

[@PM-eg9qu]

This Man....I had such a major crush on him at 16. His music "melted me" and still has that effect at 63.

[@muggsspongedice6762]

His music is legendary awesome for future musicians to learn from and all to enjoy!

[@cmonnflseason]

His music, his voice, the lyrics he wrote and the expressions when he sings them. He's like a magnet when he's on stage, just draws you in. You can always tell when a singer puts their true feelings into a song vs songs that are just put together to sell.

[@PaulaJoW]

What a stunning body of work he has put out. Happy to see he is well and still making music.

[@nadianavarrete-tindall9416]

What a 'down to earth' guy, love him, his music has been part of my life and will be forever.

[@terrenceparker7153]

i know im asking randomly but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me

[@gaeljagger3231]

@Terrence Parker Instablaster =)

[@paulbee8327]

The freedom and spontaneity of this artist is contagious. I had a 1973 Chevy LUV pickup with "Teaser and the Firecat" on 8 track Cat Stevens is still on of my favorites. The eternal teenager...that's his Magic!

[@bettyholden7725]

I still love cat’s music today. We are about the same age and that music he made was life changing for me❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@annwalsh3265]

Hi Yusuf, thank you for all your beautiful music, I loved you in my youth and I still love you. Your music sends me to a different world, I close my eyes and get lost in your music. ❤

[@dagvictoras4111]

In 1975, May 25th, I pulled up next to a VW “Thing” at Ala Moana shopping center. There was Cat Stevens and Alun Davis, so I went up to them and said “hi, you’re Cat Stevens, I’m going to your concert tonight!” He said “ yes I am, how will the weather be?” I said “perfect, it will be perfect”....it was.

[@louisecass3737]

Yusuf what a wise man you are.

[@barbaraberkel9275]

His music was and is such a big part of my life. Love him!

[@KentWalkerFullCircle]

How wonderful to hear the many. many insights of this Legend of our time--and of generations to follow. His words ring true, as does his music.

[@miqimakassar]

I'm a big fan of his songs. It's great to see him again in good shape during this hard time. Stay safe and healthy to him and to all of you, guys!

[@eyupnail]

Amazing to listen to him talking about his new album in 2020. Those who have missed his young ages are still lucky.

[@hannahdoll3665]

Great interview. Can't wait to hear the whole Tea For The Tillerman 2 album. "I haven't grown up" , I certainly can relate to that.

[@suzannedrawdy5946]

Absolutely Cherished His music making.. Tea for the Tillerman was peachy keen!

[@ko6jay681]

Great interview! I was a kid in the 70's where Cat Stevens was all over the radio, had the album as a kid. These songs, his music is so refreshing, so meaningful.....it is so important today more than ever. His music will last forever. Thank you!

[@zzapzzin]

Thanks CBC - q - for posting and bringing " Cat Stevens" back into focus, he's still got " IT "

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀Amazing Interview with Yusuf he's so creative and love's people his fan's. His unique vocals are Powerful but soothing. I love all of his song's no doubt he's one of a kind I'm so glad he came back to spread more love around the world. I admire him for for whom he has become it's always been part of his life and love in the music industry. God Bless you! Peace and Stay Gold🥀✌🥀☝️🥀

[@Ponchiegomezsaso]

Aw it was great, I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Tom Power and Yusuf 😊💗

[@Mabrooka86]

There you are again! I see your comments on every video of his ♥️ you must be his biggest fan 💯

[@fahimal9417]

M B I was thinking the same

[@fours93]

Loved that interview- thank you

[@valeriejerabek9367]

Thanks so much for this! I grew up listening to this music, both of my children did as well (danced with my son at his wedding to this music) and now we have a third generation embracing it. Looking forward to hearing this iteration. Stay well.

[@JustFrank-t9n]

Ive been relistening to the Tea for the Tillerman album and it still stands up. The songs are soulful and memorable and deeply moving. The perfect companion book would be Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

[@andreagatti1318]

His music is continuosly amazing me. These are the same songs of fifty years ago and are continuosly changing. We are changing and these songs are changing with us.

[@RByrne]

Ive loved his music since i was a kid in the 80s. Such a great, gentle voice. Hes also an excellent guitar player too, which is often overlooked. One of the greatest artists of our time.

[@220773]

I've always loved his strict and well-mannered British accent.

[@yajy4501]

The string of albums he put out from Mona Bone Jakon to Catch Bull at Four was about as perfect as it gets. He’s had great albums after that as well but those albums are an unbroken chain of perfection 👍

[@lizreinhold]

Great interview some great new insights into who he is and what the songs mean. He's so centered and at peace and humble.

[@alexlennon1983]

"but it doen't important for him, He's still waiting for that happy day" beautiful Cat!

[@barbheizman6680]

Love that man.......one special human being.

[@ashimov1970]

So do I... he's truly special

[@suzannedrawdy5946]

Love American Style the same man...

[@lkeefer3825]

Just caught this, thank you for your interview really enjoyed.

[@sheelagh]

Great interview, Tom. Thanks for sharing here. I first heard of Cat Stevens in 1971 when "Where Do The Children Play" was played at the end of a CBC(?) documentary or in-depth news story on slums & urban development. (We only got CBC on the TV so I'm assuming it was one of their pieces) I was 16. Since then his music has been an integral part of the soundtrack of my whole life! The fact that he's still such a genuine, caring person makes me so glad he's returned to the public eye!

[@fredtello]

talks about peace but called for the death of Salman Rushdie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Stevens%27_comments_about_Salman_Rushdie 1

[@suzannedrawdy5946]

Grew up with Cat Stevens and loyally love his entire life journey with People Dreams Desires Hopes and Visions of Love and Peace!

[@c.m.lacasse2407]

So many important biodiversity measurements we hear about today begin at 1970; for example, WWF has reported a 58% decline in wild animal populations since that year and half of ocean life. 'Where Do The Children Play?' is indeed prophetic. Seeing light at the end of the tunnel while preserving our humanity is exactly the vision people need now and in the future. May your voice live for countless generations to come, Yusuf / Cat Stevens!

[@muggsspongedice6762]

Wow! Cat Stevens Dubai!

[@DanHeather]

Yusuf Islam / Cat Stevens is a ONCE in a GENERATION type of artist.

[@lastknownsurvivor9009]

Cat, I would love some day to sing for you, Ready, Ruins, or Sitting to start. You cared for me my whole life with your music and with your words, you did help me to find my way. It was my older cousin back in the mid 70's that introduced me to your music and "although I like many, it is your music and words that guide. I will be doing a song within a few months for my cousin because he had asked me many times to sing for him back in the days and 2021 will be the year. I love you Cat and I thank you for all the guidance. Some day once you hear me my friend, I hopefully request you and I some day, we sing.

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀✌🥀Amazing Man 🥀✌🥀

[@jvsaints3028]

You were perfect. Grateful no one recorded me that many years ago....

[@storetai]

Good to see you, Yusuf! Alive and kikcing

[@GaZonk100]

geniuses such as Cat are mere custodians of stuff that comes from who knows where. . . you can't *work hard* to be a genius like him; but he's humble enough about it, so that's good. .

[@shawnl7966]

That was a really nice interview. I like him.

[@reginacoelicostanogueira7629]

The world misses your gentle soul

[@terriem3922]

For some reason, you remind me of my Dad, who I adored, even though your features are different. He was very humble.

[@anglo-americanbolanknight7545]

[@omarbush6568]

Great man

[@lexdunn4160]

Tom Power asked the same question, or very close variants, at least 7 times. Ask something original. Why is it so hard to get a decent host for q? Yousuf is an amzing talent. I saw him as Cat Stevens at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.

[@wholeyslappinarseholes168]

Wonderful

[@fallofmanbrand]

nice video bro

[@gullywinds]

thank you for doing that incredible interview Australia

[@jj-or2jn]

Australia? The presenter is clearly Canadian.

To those who thumbed down..... Please tell me why.. (?)

What about Israel?

[@1Frst693]

He’s so great! Do you remember the time when he wanted to kill and burn Salman Rushdie? He’s the best! Peace Train forever! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGO4oZmdZ8eela8

[@marcmaschal2897]

I dont get why he thought it was a good idea to re make Tillerman.Cat Stevens would not have done it.

[@fredtello]

He is a jerk.... he said that author should be killed for a book cuz is was about Islam...

[@lindabirkett8803]

He didn’t say that….He was high jacked by a reporter. This is the man who wrote Peace Train.

[@Jesusandbible]

He chose Islam. He should of asked God first. If he did, Cat was not listening for the answer. I was a fan of his as a teen. Now all his songs about Peace and Love sound hollow. It was Jesus who taught a Revolution of Peace and Love, entirely different to that of Moses.

[@bungamentari]

Jesus PBUH is highly respected as God's messenger in Islam like Prophet Muhammad PBUH

[@Jadido7]

Well the point is, you are convinced you got it right, but he probably thinks the same way.

[@sonofpharaoh9716]

Roman Empire changed entire Jesus teaching.. thats why you believe in ancient roman belief of Trinity.. The Roman hate Jesus, how come later on they worship him.. Actually they mixed their ancient believe into New Religion by using Monotheistic Names with Pagan's Rituals.. if you truly wanted to follow Jesus Teaching, you could read this link..👇 quran.com
