I'd say his 2 most recent albums released under the name Yusuf (An Other Cup, Roadsinger), are actually better than the last 3-4 albums he put out as Cat Stevens. Not least, because it sounds like his heart is actually in the material, and he's actually enjoying himself.

I only really discovered him properly around 10-12 years ago in my early thirties and have loved him ever since. Really difficult to choose a favourite song but "How Can I Tell You" is achingly beautiful, and another vote for Sad Lisa oh and I almost forgot... Into White....

He's been in decline since Foreigner probably.
I've heard some of Roadsinger, nothing memorable to be honest.

Maybe not such a great loss to Islam?

Bought 'The very Best of...' last year, I think. My favourites are Wild World, Morning Has Broken & Father and Son...

bloody hell....



...we agree on something!

'Lady D'Arbanville' was one of the first songs I learned to play on piano.

I've just listened to that on Spotify - very nice tune.

I like most of Cat's famous tunes. My favourite lesser known song is 'Baby Get Your Head Screwed On' from his first album.

1970 film just starting on Film4 called 'Deep End', with a soundtrack supplied by Cat Stevens.
