Cat Stevens became a convert to Islam in 1977, after a near-death experience. He adopted the name Yusuf Islam in 1979, and became an outspoken advocate for the religion.
Recently in Nov. 2006, his first pop album after 28 years, “An Other Cup”, was released under the name Yusuf.
He currently lives in London with his wife and children, where he is an active member of the Muslim community. He founded, and is chairman of, the Small Kindness charity, which initially assisted famine victims in Africa and now supports thousands of orphans and families in the Balkans, Indonesia, and Iraq. Islam also founded the charity Muslim Aid, but left as founding Chairman in 1999.

Hello, I'm looking for the Harold & Maude soundtrack on vinyl. Any color. I am looking for it for my girlfriend. She adores the movie and the music even more. Please let me know if anyone has a copy they would be willing to sell/part with. I am a working college student, so my budget is tight. Hopefully we can come to an agreement! Thank you.

It's a shame Cat Stevens went and become this religious nutter and gave all his previous recods a bad name. A wasted talent from a man that died in 1977!

OK, I want to say that I am really pretty cranky about the recent sale of "The Wind" to, I believe, JPMorgan for a TV ad. It's neither the Cat nor the Yusuf recording, but I immediately recognized it. And basically if you let a financial institution use your song, you're selling out to The Man. However, Yusuf's 2010 appearance with Ozzy on the Comedy Central election special was such an awesome surprise that I have to be glad he's more... accessible now, or something. At the end of the day, I'm so glad he's been around, since before my birth to today.

@noeuropaaqui.....Atheists are damned????What would you know you prick?Are you god?Are you his main man?Or have you read it somewhere?I would love it if on your death bed,by some medical chance,they managed to resuscitate you an hour after you had died,and for you to regain consciousness and realise you had been dead.....and there was nothing there!To see your face...I despise people like you who think because you are interested in spiritual culture,you are better than those that are not.We are all spiritual to some extent...some...like fanatics,are 100 out of 100....some like pimps and drug dealers,are maybe under 10....but most of us are somewhere in the middle.How dare you judge others because you think you are higher on the scale?You will live and die...deal with your own problems in life before you make your judgement on others.Anyway,why should you care...if as you say,this god of yours will judge as at later date?Get on with your own life.
