Cat Stevens
At the end of last year I responded to a thread titled Top 10 Favorite Singers. After some consideration and research (for memory purposes), I included Cat Stevens. I only owned two albums - Greatest Hits and Numbers, and I really only know what I learned during my research then. However, time and memories have warmed my heart again to this gentle man with the peaceful voice. What I did learn last year was this - looking at pictures and videos made me very aware that the Cat Stevens of the seventies is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! This is what my ideal man would have looked like. Never noticed his looks back then! But now...OMG! Here he is...

Re: Cat Stevens
Thanks for that Ticky. Here's another video from the 1976 Earth Tour. I just love the way he looks in these. Watch the way he sways and moves his head back and forth when he sings.

Re: Cat Stevens
I'm going to have to pull up this thread and show the videos to my hubby. He digs him and plays one of his albums rather often (I really don't know which one but it's the one with Year Of The Cat-is that also the name of the LP?). He isn't my cup of tea at all. Why the change in name? Did he change religion or something? I kind of vaguely remember hearing or reading something about him being watched or something because of the whole homeland security thing awhile back? I might be thinking of someone else.

Re: Cat Stevens
Willie, are you sure you're thinking of Cat Stevens? I thought Al Stewart did Year of the Cat (the same guy who did Time Passages).
Anyway, shortly after that 1976 Earth Tour that I've been showing vids of, Cat Stevens became a Muslim. During the first few years he refused to play his 'old' music, feeling it would be against his religion. But in the last few years he has had a change of heart.
Here's what wiki says about the 2004 incident Willie referred to. Scroll down to Denial of Entry Into the United States.

Re: Cat Stevens
Sorry --I went and checked, wrong album. He plays Al Stewart also but the one I'm thinking of is Teaser And The Firecat with Moonshadow on it by Cat Stevens that Larry likes.
