He's CAT STEVENS. I know he became a Muslim a long time ago, but he'll always be CAT STEVENS to everybody who knows and loves his music. I hope he does more of his music, if he does any live concerts, I'll go and see him.
He changed his name to Yusuf Islam when he became a Muslim, but he was Cat Stevens before that, and everybody who knows and loves his music knows him as that.
Because Islam put him on the right path of a clean life with no Alcohol, smoking, pork, fornication, late night parties and orgies......etc. That's why !
@@jacksonk.swaffardiii7820 yes all that clean living would definitely help. Ultimately I think when someone sings so well it's because it comes straight from the soul. He was born with an amazing soul.
I always wonder where Yousuf/ Cat Stevens got the energy to carry on and keep moving forwards , when he was attacked unfairly only because he became a Muslim. He stayed firm in his conviction inspite of so many baseless attacks on him.
Paul Gandesa If you don’t understand why, I think you should try to understand why. People who embrace islam from another religions all have a reason why they did so, listen to his interview with Russel Brand he explained why he did so. Please listen to it so you can understand him better xx
Family times listening to his album. I was 12 and all my 7 older brothers would always play his tunes. Father and Son my favorite . He is amazing. My father loved him, I love him, my son has personal pictures with Cat Stevens in Shajah and now my grandchild listens to Yousif
What a beautiful man. I was young when his songs originally came out. I feel so blessed to hear/see him singing again in person. He seems like he is well loved by those around him.
Such a kind intelligent human being. Whomever ALLAH guides is rightly guided and whomever ALLAH leaves stray no one will find them guidance, and the FINAL destination is to ALLAH. This life is a test.
My mom is a huge huge fan and I grew up to her playing his music in our house while we cleaned or my momma painted and drew. She was an artist. I can't hear his voice and not think of mom and a special time in my life. ♥ sometimes I cry when I hear his songs because they remind me of my momma. I miss her. I only wish my mom could of met Yusuf.
His son was almost divinely guided to remind Cat of the gift he was given from birth from the Alpha and Omega. And that gift is a healing veil that covers so much of us. How important is it especially during these last years (a Covid year and now going on to two)- to hear these songs to remind us of who we are. Plus a new album - new inspiration! Thank you for the healing. Thank you for the reminder. Thank God for you Cat Stevens with part Greek blood and who you are now called Yusuf - Joseph - an important and blessed name to have. May the Peace Man - who we need more of - be blessed forever. Sending sincere love your way Peace Soul Man.
i admire this man a lot. knowing he got in touch with his religion after spending a lot of time suffering at the hospital, just like i did, gives me a lot of strength. his song "the rain" is very comforting to me for various reasons because to know that such a great person thinks about the same things as me, who is a child compared to him both in terms of age and wisdom, has the same questions as me, eases my worries. i feel very grateful that i can listen to his music and gain strength from it.
He wrote songs that will go on forever and whenever we hear them we remember how his songs helped us at times in our lives, and we realise these songs of his are helping us to connect with ourselves again. You can't get any better than that although this man is most likely going to get better and better.. His singing voice and who he is as a person speaks volumes.
Wow!. You are the Sunshine of my Life..waiting for the peace train.Ride on the Peace Train..We Live You Cat Steven's.hope to see u in Concert soon. 👍🇨🇦
Irama masih berlagu dalam hatinya, ia terlalu indah utk diterjemahkan dalam apa pun juga bentuk suara atau warna. At this time, my brother Yusuf just enjoying every single time. May Allah grant all of us with jannah..
Sure Cat left a GOD GIVEN GIFT. The gift of creating music as well as the voice to sing it with. The day the music died as well as Cat Stevens. All know why he gave up God’s blessing for decades.
MashaAllah he was indeed a very good looking man back then ,and he still is ❤ Genuinely feel happy for his decision to convert to be a Muslim. May Allah grant him true happiness in this world and hereafter InshaAllah
I grew up in the early 70's with 3 older sisters. My oldest sister had the best musical taste. My other 2 sisters listened to bubble gum music, but the oldest brought home Carole Kings Tapestry album. Carly Simon. The Moody Blues and a Cat Stevens album. His music became a back drop to my life. Most childhood memories are interwoven with his music. I remember which season it was when one of his songs were hits. I have a very short list of songs I consider to be the best songs ever written. To this day, i think "Peace Train" is one of the best songs ever recorded. From the arrangement, the recording, the lyrics, the background singers, the mixing of the tracks...its an absolute classic. To conceive that song and to make it a reality, for the world to enjoy is magical to me. Broke my damn heart when he retired from music. I would always wonder how many other gems he would have written that we would all know and cherish had he never took that break. But i get why he retired. Just happy he's back sharing the gift God gave him.
Cats Steven I will always be his a big fan since I was a teenager now am at my 50s still listening to his albums.. and as a muslimah myself, I am so happy that he reverted to Islam. May Allah protect you and always keep you in good health. Alhamdulillah 🙏🏼
@@yusufcatsstevens2704 So nice that you replied. A fan since "Tea for the Tillerman" I wore out the album. The album is on my Iphone. Peace be with you & your family.
First time I heard song "Wild World" at 1993 from Mr. Big cover. It is very beautiful song and I am really impressed. Thanks so much Yusuf/Cat for nice and touch lyrics. Previously I really like "morning has broken" a memorable song when I was young and grew up. May Allah always bless you.
Tank you very much Yusuf Cat Stevens, now is possible to create a new music In lockdown , poems for everyone tank you very much for sharing this great interview merci beaucoup
I'm surprised that he felt the need to put down his guitar once he got out of the music business. I played for a living many years ago, and when I stopped playing for money, I still played my guitar every day. It was my form of meditation--my connection to the divine.
To me music is not a luxury. Music has helped me in the past six months in quarantine by myself. WHen I despair & listen to music I am uplifted. Jusef’s music has been bringing me joy.
Wonderful music and an interesting interview. I've liked your music since the 1970'ies and am very glad that you went back to your roots, as you said. PS: glad you like your own songs 😉 No, seriously, I've heard of singers who didn't like what they were singing, but that was not made public until after they had died...
They introduced the clip of him singing "Dying to Live", and made it sound like it was one of his new songs. But that song came out over 30 years ago and was written and performed by Edgar Winter. Weird that noone, including Cat, acknowledged it was not his song.
I used to listen to the songs with my children when we sat in the car. (Like the song: I look l see). Respectfull and also educational and beautiful. Thanks a lot.
Salam Br. Yusuf - I am glad you started the music again - Islam does not forbid music or any other art as long as they are pure and not corrupt !! A lot of love form kabul - Afghanistan
🥀Amazing Interview with Yusef "Cat Stevens ", I've loved his music since the 70s I have his album "Tea For the Tiller Man" . To be honest I've always knew he was different from others in the music industry by his song's take Where Will The Children Play" song it's so involved with pain, love ect: everytime on that album alone is so amazing and very true to heart, I feel his words. I was barley a teen in 70s when I 1st heard his music and the meaning of but I was born into music by my Father, singer song writer inducted into the Country music hall of fame and honor in Macon, Ga in 1987. Music is in my blood so is my belief that people like Yusef is to carry on with his calling that's in his Soul. God Bless you Yusef much love with whome you are. Thank you for sharing your life n love in the music industry with us the fans🥀✌🥀☝️
Oh! It's great , tears flowing from my eyes. Oh The great God of Prophet Abraham pbuh grant all the best in this world and the world hereafter for this gentleman. And also bless Britain forever. Amen... ...

A person can change.....religion, name, anything about themselves...Life is fluid and ever changing. Yusuf / Cat is treasure to us all.
Amazing talent Ma Sha Allah. Yusuf is A true legend and a pure genius.
He's CAT STEVENS. I know he became a Muslim a long time ago, but he'll always be CAT STEVENS to everybody who knows and loves his music. I hope he does more of his music, if he does any live concerts, I'll go and see him.
Speak for yourself,... Cat's a douche bag!
@@ruthsayers1163 his name is Yusuf Islam , who is this cat stevens your on about ? Wake up
He changed his name to Yusuf Islam when he became a Muslim, but he was Cat Stevens before that, and everybody who knows and loves his music knows him as that.
He's an absolute legend and has such a beautiful voice!
uno de lo más grande de la música. lo recuerdo mucho. inmortal de la música inglesa .
@@MoiradelatorreRUclips I have to say I love you in a song.
@@steffanhoffmannthat's Jim Croce's lyric!
Yusuf, you're one of the most spiritual artists I've ever come across. Always connecting to something Higher.
absolutely true
Spirituality, look for A. R. Rahman from India.
So can you
How Allah contacted me in Christmas 2019 through the inspiration of Yusuf & The blessed prophet,Peace be upon him ⭐🌙
I wish that he & George Harrison could have worked together!
My father taught us to read with your albums, which I still own and play 50 years later. Much love💖
He's still got such an amazing voice!
Not quite the same and as resonant as it was
Because Islam put him on the right path of a clean life with no Alcohol, smoking, pork, fornication, late night parties and orgies......etc. That's why !

He's so humble, so soft spoken more "organised" full of loves around him .... May Allah bless you all the time Brother Yusuf Islam a.k.a Cat Stevens

His music is absolutely amazing.

Absolutely, and so is the music he composed.
WHAT A HUMBLE CHARMING, TRUE HUMAN BEING is my man! Love you, eternally.

Thank you for sharing this with us.
It's such a pleasure to get to know more about you, and your work.
Bravo to the interviewers-they really listened to "Cat" and were spot on with their questions and comments.
I think Yusuf Islam is on a mission to convey to people that Islam is beautiful and you can embrace it without leaving your roots.
Tank you very much Yusuf Cat Stevens, now is possible to create a new music In lockdown , poems for everyone tank you very much for sharing this great interview merci beaucoup
Glad I have his music
Such a beautiful and gentle soul. So glad I re-discovered your channel. Thank you for your gift of music.
Love Yusuf/ Cat. Forever + 1 day.
The song Morning Has Broken which he sung and I think,wrote,is a Christian song (that's how I see it).It's one of my favorite songs of all time.
Actually, the song is a hymn written in the 19th century (I think)
Such a beautiful soul,it takes a lot to give up everything and focus in spiritual,have peace 🙏🤗
Such as a God given gift for decades. Yeah right.
A very good human being, Cat, or rather Yusef, speaks to so many of us.
Such a great talent! His songs will live on forever!
