      Alhamdoulilah he reverted, but music is not permissible to listen to let alone produce as it was the cause of the first major sin committed in a large gathering, Zina gathered around music. Many Muslims are sympathetic to music especially religious/peace inciting tunes. But I can’t just follow my nafs and disregard our prophets words and Allah’s prohibition in favor of my own pleasure. Don’t forget that peeps. Much love.

Those albums had been released before the film. "Don't Be Shy" and "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" were not released on an album, until his 1984 compilation _Footsteps in the Dark: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2_ .
