Reviews for Cat Stevens

I remember being 14 and loving your music, and thinking that you were the best looking Greek Cypriot guy ever! I am Greek. I respect that you are a sensitive and spiritual soul (I am too) and that you embraced a peaceful path in worshipping the Almighty. I am wondering, however, if your path may have been different if your father was a religious Greek Orthodox and had introduced you to the most beautiful Christian mysticism of Mt. Athos. I can definitely see you having found your spiritual and religious path had you visited it before converting to Islam...You have beautiful spiritual roots in the Greek Orthodox faith--explore the true piety of it one day, if for nothing else, to really know the faith of your Greek Cypriot forefathers who died and martyred themselves for it rather than convert. Jesus Christ is awesome...and His philosophy is above any other. Read it and praise Allah for sending Him to the world to save sinners.

Cat Stevens - I love his voice and the way he projects it with heart and soul. He followed his calling and didn't back down in spite of the fame and more he could have had. I was disappointed and kinda angry when he stopped recording songs but it was my own selfishness at the time. I will always love his music.

I am 61 years old and remember the first time I heard Tea for the Tillerman and was instantly hooked on your music. I began to play Guitar and a little Harmonica while in the US Navy. I soon became the Cat Stevens imitator of my circle of friends. (You would have been impressed I think)...I digress..I always seemed to pick up some thread of Spirituality in your music but, it was only about a year ago that I connected the song "The Boy with the Moon and Star on His Head" with your turning to Islam. Am i right? Was that about the time?
I am a Born Again Christian (was saved in 1972), and was terribly disappointed when you became a Muslim. I always felt you would be saved as I am.
I still love your music and pray for you. I felt a connection to you spiritually for years. I hope that someday you (and I know you have heard this before), will turn to Jesus (Yeshua)...
On the Cross His arms are stretched out to receive you.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8&9

yusuf, I was touched with your story. I lost my husband so my son and I are on our own. I,m trying to find my way just as you did. I just recently found your music and I'm already a huge fan of your lyrics. I'm inspired by your journey and deeply touched by all you have done. never give up singing, I will always listen.

Hello! gccgeak interesting gccgeak site! I'm really like it! Very, very gccgeak good!

Hello...........I was a fan of Cat Stevens when I was a teenager, I am now 53. The walls of my room in high school were filled with pictures of Cat Stevens........I have every album you ever recorded and still to this day listen to your DVD's but I wonder..........I read the story about when you were trapped in the pacific ocean and thought you were going to die, you said "God, if you save me, I will work for you." and he saved you, you believe he saved you and I believe he saved you. And then you walked away from your music career at the top.....unheard of. You married and did a lot for charities. But I am not sure you totally kept that promise to God. God gives each of us special gifts and he wants so desperately for us to use them. He gave you gifts of poetry and music and you brought those God Given Gifts to millions. When you turned your back on your music, you turned your back on those gifts. When Mohammad Ali converted to Islam he didn't give up boxing. When Kareem Abdul Jabar converted to Islam he didn't give up basketball. And with each one we learned a little more, we were perhaps a little less afraid. I am sad to think about the millions of people you could have touched with your music working for God. You did what you had to do then. But it would have made the world a better place. I am glad to see that you are back singing again. So very glad. It is your gift from God it is where you need to be.

Why did you stop believing in Jesus, People don't understand his purpose we can't go to heaven with out a key!!! Hell was made for the devil not humans but since we fell from his grace meaning prescence of God. We were going in the pit with the fallen Angel. So God had to concord death for us by going in to the pit because death only takes sin (miss the mark) which he has none...You must be invited!!! Can you walk in to a stranger house uninvited. I think not so why do people feel they can ignore and go to heaven when he has rules !!!! Yes I kept books of other religion so I can understand to help people with positive and negative and there's only one God!!!

I grew up listening to your music and now my boys, ages 5,7,9 are appreciating it too. Your music will be passed onto future generations. My 5 year old son listens to "Don't be Shy" daily and wants to learn how to play it on his guitar. Thanks for inspiring my children.

Dear Yusuf
Met your music when I was a little teen of 11 years, and I identify with it immediately. your music and your wonderful letters kept my spirit high on many occasions when life hits, and my first romances were born with your ballads. my country is at the end of the map, your music came up here !!!!!despite the long distance, my kids (24 and 22 years) know and like your music too. thanks for creating such good music. a big hug

I love your music and always did.
We are the same age and I don't care what religion one is,it is their heart that matters.
You are also very good-looking.
Hope you make alot more music!!

I still play and sing your songs today as I did when you were a hit in the 70's. I sat in the local coffee houses and sang my heart out to your songs and the crowd sang along to and all were inspired to say the least in those days. I continue to sing and play your songs and enjoy them now as much as I did then and have passed them all on to my children and grandchildren and everyone loves them as I do.Pls. continue to bless us with your words and tunes and never stop making the feelings real to us. Your friend and admirer, Marty Cochran

I can't seem to find the words to tell you how much I appreciate your music and how it can take me to a different time in my life and peace that I can't seem to find right now. Thank you for your creativity and passion.

Your music has completely influenced my life. I honestly believe we have the same mindset on everything. My brother died when he was seven and Oh Very Young relates to exactly how I feel about his death. I am only 18 and I may not have been around when you were becoming famous but you have still changed my life with your music. Thank you for being so amazing.
