    Default 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...

    I love Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam ~ he's an amazing talent but this is the song that got me.

    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.

    I guess it's no secret why I like the new t-mobile ad so much!

    Oh, I didn't realize that was Cat Stevens on that! I've heard it a gazillion times already, too, lol.

    I have to say I'm a little surprised he'd sell his music to be used in ads - not that there's anything wrong with that.
