Oh, I LOVE Cat Stevens! He has such a soulful, lovely voice. I was sad when he dropped out of music for all those years, and very glad when he came back! "Moonshadow" is my favorite song of his. (We sang "Morning Has Broken" at my church when I was a teen. This was back in the 70's, when guitar masses were all the rage, and songs like this made it into the liturgy!)

He's an absolute Phenom India...one of the greatest singer songwriters that graced our planet...on the top of his fame, he left it all and became a Muslim, chaning his name to Yusuf. His fans mourned losing his brilliance, as he kept a vow to stay out of fame for 30 years for his higher good. Several years ago he resurfaced and fans went nuts. He did like one tour and that's all it took for his to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I was so lucky to have seem him during this time. He's an older, gently soul, but gracing us again with his singing. He has so many hits one just has to listen to them all. Father and Son is unbelievable.,.

@Carson and I was disappointed in Yusuf/Cat.....(I love Rushdie. He’s a brilliant writer.) He didn’t need to go public with supporting a fatwah (to kill KILL Rushdie)...I have no problem with him following Islam. Rushdie had to go into hiding for several years. Yusuf didn’t have to go into hiding. He retired from the public eye. Decades later he returned and his fans are still here. But he didn’t write new music... there’s plenty in his catalogue.

I think he walked away from the music industry at the height of his success.....converted to Islam, and changed his name ( in the late 1970s ) He made a return after 9/11......and still spreads the message of peace & love.....but you can imagine, there was a lot of controversy about him being a Muslim. An unmistakeable voice. LOTs of hits. 'Peace Train'......and 'Where Do the Children Play' are a couple of my favorites.
@bentleyr00d4 жыл бұрын
Not so sure about the love and peace part though. Remember Salman Rushdie? In February of 1989, Yusuf Islam addressed students at Kingston University in London about his conversion to Islam and was asked about the controversy in the Muslim world and the fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie's execution. He replied, "He must be killed. The Quaran makes it clear - if someone defames the prophet then he must die." I don't think he probably actively sought the murder of Rushdie, but still...
@rguy574 жыл бұрын
I don’t think he did the walking. The music industry shut him out due to his beliefs. Unfortunately there is so much misunderstanding in this world which is dealt with through fear and hate. I hope our world can survive the Big Bang of human hatred and fear when it finally crescendos. Maybe we can learn to love, forgive, and heal by understanding each other’s perspectives.

I have every Cat Stevens Album ever made, and I idolized him when I was in my twenties...and do you know....it is only a year ago that I actually saw him live for the first time...in Perth Australia...and even after all these years his voice is great, in the seventies he was the biggest singer in the world ...good choice to react to. !!
