Cat Stevens.

Snap JP. -:)

Before my time Canny ,but really got into him thru Limewire.Really like his stuff :)

I love him, what a talent he was. Only caught the last 30 seconds, but he's back shortly.

Has he changed his name bace to CS?

I flicked over started squinting and thinking ,is that him? Woohoo!

*back

Still Yusef mate.

I bet he would make a great peacemaker. He's a good guy who knows his politics.

1st record for 28 years!

Great..... another 'pop star' for the pipe and slippers brigade...

"That Perry Coma was good wasn't he?"
"Vera Lynn was a babe"
"Nah, Al Jolson was the dog's"

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ;)

You listen to pop stars do covers of his tunes mate.We'll stick with the original :)

lol DCR

you sound sad dr, whats wrong with good music, does it matter how old they are,

Do you prefer Westlifes version of whatever it was?

Cat is back. A monstrous talent.

I'm only playing with you.

I like a wide variety of music really. A lot of the stuff today is utter carp. I occasionaly listen to 60s music and one of the last CDs I bought was Johnny Cash. Other oldies I like are Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Bee Gees and Abba (don't larf).

Now you are joking surely?

Good lad ,I love Abba too :8}

cat stevens was a monster talent, lyrically and music wise.
father and son.
oh very young,
just 2 songs of very many.
he only had a very few years before he found islam, if this guy had his life as a songwriter he would be concidered one of the greatest.

Absolutely, some of his work is incredibly good.

Why couldn't he carry on as a songwriter?

Hairs standing up.So glad he's back! :)

he gave it up, to do the work of allah,
you know how f ucked up the muzzies get,
but now he is back.

So now he's not doing the work of allah?

I honestly don't understand.

last i heard he was detained as a terrorist suspect.
silly kid, he is greek you know.

but they let him go, so thats all right.

Tw*t

His father is Greek Cypriot and his mother Swedish.

being a** is preferable to being a toss er, imo

Was my first ever live concert, what seems like a lifetime ago.

watch the film "harold & maude" if u haven't already

brilliant film with a brilliant cat stevens soundtrack

Mona Bone Jakon completely changed the way I listened to music. ( I still don't know what a Mona Bone Jakon is though....)

Top 3 Cat Stevens songs.

Sitting.
How Can I tell.
The First Cut is the Deepest.

Which ones are yours ?

Wild World still sounds good

Where do the Children Play,
Wild World
Into White

Sad Lisa

Alun, are you by any chance the Alun Davies who played on all the early albums (and on Yusuf)?

Hello fat owl. Long time no see.

....Been in Detention.

Bunter : Nope.

regards etc

When my father died, I was 9, my brother 7.

My mother wanted to "keep us busy" after that spending time with us. Nice days were spent out. Rainy days, in a movie theatre.

She saw an ad in the paper - A teenager and an old lady on a motorcycle, the graphic changed so the wheels were flowers. Looked interesting. Off we went.

The opening scene, a fake suicide. Then, slowly the movie evolved that the teenager named Harold liked faking his suicide for attention and going to funerals as a hobby.

"That's it", thought my mom. "I've officially traumatized them for life". But she looked at us laughing and she starting chuckling along as well from suicide to funeral and through his love affair with elder Maude.

Still one of my favourite films of all time as with my brother.

Cat Stevens singing all the way through was priceless and burned onto my brain. Through teenage years smoking weed with my good late friend Steve and my friend of 4 decades, Bert.

Listening to Cat Stevens sing Peace Train makes you realize some music, lyrics, and performers will carry on through time.

Nice to see him.

cat stevens was fantastic.
so many good ones but this is one of the best songs of all

Nice one Pendle Man.

On Heaven and Earth,BBC1 now.

Cheers, so he is.

He's a door handle

Cat was a great talent.

Here are my 5 favourite Cat songs which never seem to ever get anywhere remotely near his greatest hits albums and are underrated.

1. I love them all (NAP).
2. I wish, I wish.
3. Tuesday's Dead (nb).
4. Lovely City(When do you laugh)
5 Jzero.

Studio versions, as much as I love him, he was better in the studio than on the road.
Plz excuse any spelling as my keyboard is full of spag bol, lager and tea - I,m on the way out.

glad you enjoyed it tambo:)

superb talent.

I loved "The Streaker", nobody has mentioned that one yet.

Beware talented Muslims.

He does a great job of "Morning has Broken", here.
