  • Yusuf/Cat Stevens is one of the most beloved singer-songwriters of all time, with his such as 'Wild World', 'Father and Son' and 'Moonshadow'.
    Speaking to Gold's David Andrews in an episode of Gold Meets recorded back in 2021, Yusuf reflected on growing up in London during the Swinging '60s, and how The Beatles changed everything for him.

    Huge fan of this mans music.
    Teaser and the firecat is one of the strangest sounding albums of the 70's.
    And it is one of my ultimate favourites. When i say strange, i mean in a very very good way!!!
    It sounds like nothing else.

    It is delightful to see Cat's sweetness and gentle soul. His songs touched my heart so much when I was going through terrible times. I wish I could give him back a little of the hope his songs brought me when I was a teenager. Couldn't wait for the next one to come out. Thank you for this interview.

    Thank you for this wonderful interview! Your questions were perfect for getting Yusuf to share the history of his music and to tie that into what he’s currently doing. He is someone who I’ve admired since I was a teenager and his music has always been a part of my life.

    Aaah wonderful Cat Stevens. The sound track of my youth, each song as great as the last. I hold him in even higher esteem now - his best friends were Hendrix and Humperdink!! Who'd have put those two names together? 😂

    'Wha' eva'... he's never lost his Cockney lilt... and that's what he's telling us about here. You wouldn't easily get he's so British-English in his singing voice.
    And... may I say... well, I know plenty of Swedes... and I can hear a bit of a Swedish song-a-song music in some of his sentences, really...

    Beautiful guy , amazing musician. I grew up with his songs. One day he sold his guitars and turned his back on jesus and God who gave him the gift . What a waste. Imagine how many more beautiful song's he'd have if he didn't make that mistake. Love his songs forever. John lennon got cut short and cat through it away to the Antichrist and spat at God who gave him the talent. Always loved his music

    Love him for understanding "security" in this world. However....
    Invasion by corrupt countries to destroy this security is still ongoing in the world. It is not based on Hate as believed previously, but on Power!!! and gaining more

    People share a common spirituality.
    Why choose a religion based on power, bullshit, and lies?
    Like all of them (minus, maybe Buddhism), they were created and formed to control the "Great unwashed".
