The Three Cat Stevens

Never thought I'd ever do something called 'blogging', nor did I ever see the day I'd have postings about two singers named 'Cat'--one male, the other female. Here are three videos showing the transformations of Cat Stevens.

First we have the young folk-rocking pop star happily posing for teen magazines like a solo Jonas Brother, singing his first big hit, 1967's 'The First Cut is the Deepest'. Then we have him singing 'Father & Son', while he was the brightest star of the singer-songwriter boom of the 70's. I first heard this song when I was a son, later as a father--time has certainly added dimensions to this song. Finally, there is the current day Yusuf Islam, long after his 1978 conversion to Islam, singing one of his hits from the 70's, 'Peace Train'.

Seeing him tuning his guitar before 'Father & Son', I remember a story --probably apocryphal -- about the time Neil Young spent about twenty minutes, before a concert, tuning his guitar. When he was done, the drug addled audience cheered, as if they'd heard a great new rock instrumental
