Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens, born Steven Georgiou in 1948, is a British singer-songwriter known for his melodic folk and rock music in the 1960s and 1970s. His hits include "Father and Son," "Wild World," and "Morning Has Broken." His lyrics often explore themes of spirituality, personal growth, and social issues. In the late 1970s, he converted to Islam and adopted the name Yusuf Islam, leading to a pause in his music career. He later returned to performing and recording, blending his spiritual beliefs with his musical talent. Stevens/Yusuf Islam remains influential for his poetic songwriting and evolving musical style.
