    Cat Stevens one of the best voices to ever grace the music scene. Profound lyrics, Poet Spiritual, Legend. Sounds as good as he did 40 years ago. Well deserved!

    I remember when Yusuf quit music at the height of fame, etc., I have come to understand the profound dedication and transition of his life in the discovery of Islam. With much respect.

    I have tears watching this today, I did not expect that, he still moves me so deeply. Yusuf is the most loved song writer of our generation with a heart of gold, a beautiful voice that pierces my heart and the debts of my soul. He lifts me up above the cold world and takes me to where only love exists 💗

    This guy is like a living time capsule. Such an unbelievable artist in his heyday…and then poof…he was gone. Unlike Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, and Jim Croce, he didn’t die…he just vanished. To have him back is really such a blessing. He gave voice to a generation to find themselves when the world was just as complicated in it’s own way as it is now. Can’t thank him enough for coming back and renewing the spirit he generated. So profound and touching is his presence. He exudes peace and hopefulness. God Bless you Yusuf/Cat!!

Thank you dear kind gentle heart for all the love and peace and bonding you have given to the world.

    I can't help but notice the juxtaposition on "Father and Son" ... and it makes me think, where did the time fly?
    When he made it a hit record he was the son in that song, but when he sang it at this award ceremony he was the father.

    This induction was so long overdue and unless you were alive during the height of Cat Stevens' popularity it's hard to explain just how enormous he was in the early 70's. For his particular genre, singer-songwriters, you couldn't get any bigger than Cat Stevens, which made it all the more puzzling when he just up and decided to quit making music at the absolute height of his popularity. It was especially puzzling for a young child, totally incapable of being a deep thinker, which is what I was at that time. All I knew was this amazing artist who had a slew of hit songs on the radio decided to call it quits, and he totally disappeared from the public eye as soon as he made that decision, never to be seen or heard from again. I actually remember asking another kid, slightly older than me but just a kid too nonetheless, why Cat Stevens would do such a thing, and he told me Cat Stevens became a Monk. LOL 🤣 Obviously he knew Cat chose some kind of religious conversion, but he didn't know what to call it either, so he called it a Monk. 😂 Of course me not knowing any better, I just accepted that as factual and for quite a few years I just assumed Cat Stevens was a Monk and living in a Monastery or some such thing. LOL Hey, I was just a kid so I didn't know any better. Only as I entered my teens did I find out the true story, but either way that's why this induction and reappearance seems so special to me, even more special than the usual R&R HOF inductions.

      @elizabethsaffioti1432 Рік тому +13

      The funny thing is that I pretty much thought and felt the same way as you, but for me, this all happened when I was in college. I guess I wasn’t a very deep thinker either. All I knew was that he became a Muslim and stopped singing. I was heart broken, and obviously pretty selfish for feeling that way. I’m happy that he’s bask to performing.

    • @beenaplumber8379
      @beenaplumber8379 Рік тому +5

      He was right about one thing - it was a risk inducting him into the R n R Hall of Fame. Another Saturday Night, Wild World, and Peace Train were rock by some standards, but he was clearly never a rocker. Then dropping out for a religious conversion put some people off. That said, his music (a massive catalog given the time he was active) was so fundamental to what pop-rock was in the early 70s. Since then nearly everyone seems to have covered at least one of his songs. I think it was a good move, and well deserved. Still, they took a risk, but for all the right reasons.

      I was a lawyer in Cleveland for a firm and worked on a matter for the Rock Hall. At the end of a client meeting the Director asked me if I wanted to go to the Hall for free. I told him I refuse to go until Cat Stevens was inducted. He chuckled at the joke-but it wasn’t actually a joke.

    I was driving in our car when my daughter at 5 years old looked at me and Daddy, is there only one road to get back home? I said " no sweetheart, there are many"...she put her finger to her chin and said " Daddy, I think that is like religion and GOD....there are many roads to get to GOD...right? I pulled over and cried while hugging her! I said, yes that is correct!
    Honesty from a child is as pure, is good and full of Love!
    Let us all....Christianity, Judaism, Islam embrace and go forward together with Love. Is not that what GOD wants from us....to Love each other.

    Cat Stevens comes back. I never thought it would happen but God, I’m so glad it did. And I can see he’s glad he did too. C’mon Peace Train!!

    I grew up to Cat Steven's songs; my high school years (break time) were spent mostly on the stairs of our school with classmates/friends singing while the guys playing the guitars! Oh high school days, the best part of my life! A well-deserved award, congratulations (7 years late).....but better late than never! Love you and God Bless you more! Our high school 50th anniversary is coming up (2023); and for sure, we will include in our program most of your songs!

    Growing up in the 90s, I discovered Cat Stevens from my mom. I've always been fascinated by him, given he didn't fall into the same pattern as so many incredibly famous artists in reaching the top and falling so very far, runing their life forever. He certainly has been tested so many times in his life, but chose to walk away from it all for his own sense of salvation. That takes so much incredible courage, and now so many years later he's found a way to rejoin his old world with his new world. He sounds absolutely amazing, and it's so admirable to watch someone stay true to their authentic self.
