Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens is a British singer-songwriter associated with acoustic folk-rock and folk-pop from the late 1960s and 1970s. His recordings are characterized by warm, expressive vocals, guitar-based arrangements, and reflective, often spiritual or personal lyrics. He later converted to Islam and performed under the name Yusuf Islam, pausing and later resuming musical activity, and his career is frequently described in terms of its introspective songwriting and blend of pop and folk elements.
