Bio ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“In
1967, he was the Cat that got the cream. Steve
Georgiou became Cat Stevens and a teenage pop
sensation overnight. He was a prolific writer
of songs for himself and others. By late ’68
he was washed out and had almost died with a
bout of tuberculosis – he was miserable
with the whole pop process. His re-emergence
in ’70 was with more integrity and with
perfect timing – riding the “singer-songwriter”
wave with James Taylor, Carole King, Joni Mitchell
and others. His thoughtful, spiritual and reflective
material ensured a string of top selling albums.
In America especially, the term “super-star”
could not have been more appropriate. A dozen
albums later in ’78, Yusuf Islam, formerly
known as Cat Stevens, announced he was leaving
the music business for good. He was solely committed
to the Muslim faith and said that everything
he had wanted to say was written in the Qur’an
in any case. He had no need to continue and
there were far too many contradictions in the
music world of sex and drugs and rock’n’roll.
Today, he has mellowed in his views on his past.
This biography traces his musical and spiritual
career. It is the most comprehensive account
to date and an indispensable reference point
for seekers of his musical output. It contains
details of the most obscure releases and collaborations
he has made over the years – with complete
and extensive discography.
George
Brown is a 52 year old resident of Leigh-on-Sea
in Essex, England. An ardent ’60s pop
music archivist and long term Cat Stevens fan,
since listening to the pirate radio stations
in the ’60s. He began researching Cat
Stevens for a magazine article and expanded
it into a book, which he continues to update
for future editions.”
