Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou, 21 July 1948), commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is a British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, humanitarian, and education philanthropist. His 1967 debut album reached the top 10 in the UK, and the album's title song "Matthew and Son" charted at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. His albums Tea for the Tillerman (1970) and Teaser and the Firecat (1971) were both certified triple platinum in the US by the RIAA. His musical style consists of folk, pop, rock, and Islamic music.

His 1972 album Catch Bull at Four spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, and fifteen weeks at number one in the Australian ARIA Charts. He earned two ASCAP songwriting awards in 2005 and 2006 for "The First Cut Is the Deepest", and the song has been a hit for four different artists. His other hit songs include "Father and Son", "Wild World", "Peace Train", "Moonshadow", and "Morning Has Broken". In 2007 he received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection.

Famous quotes by Cat Stevens:

"I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry."
"If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free, cause there's a million ways to be, you know that there are..."
"It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I'd been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood."
"I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home."
"All things can be forgiven if we can progress."
"I'm a little bit out of it, I suppose; I'm more of the golden oldie type."
"I had to learn my faith and look after my family, and I had to make priorities. But now I've done it all and there's a little space for me to fill in the universe of music again."
"The fact that the Prophet cared for every human being and tried his best to ensure their security in the hereafter must be the most telling of his compassionate and merciful characteristics."
"The very first lesson that I learnt from the Qur'an was the message of unity and peace."
"Everything I do is for the pleasure of Allah."
"Moderation is part of faith, so those who accuse Muslim schools of fostering fanaticism should learn a bit more about Islam."
"The words of the songs speak for themselves."
"If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free, cause there's a million ways to be, you know that there are."
"Music is part of God's universe."
"They have hijacked my religion."
"To be what you want to be, you must give up being what you are."
"There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again."
"My career is there for everyone to see and delve into."

Come On Baby

by: Cat Stevens

Why don't you come over?
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
Why don't you come and see our baby?
You haven't seen her for so long
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
There in the back woods
We had our little piece of land
But everything wasn't so groovy
Not when you had to dirty your hands
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
It's lonely at the wooden lodge
So why don't you share my bed
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
Give me all the love you've got, to me
Come on baby, shift that log
Come on baby, wash that dog
