What I write about Patti and my family I learn the meanings of my songs late Having established a signature sound, Stevens enjoyed a string of successes over the following years.
When interviewed on a Boston radio station, Stevens said about Teaser and the Firecat :. I get the tune and then I just keep on singing the tune until the words come out from the tune.
It's kind of a hypnotic state that you reach after a while when you keep on playing it where words just evolve from it. So you take those words and just let them go whichever way they want Funny, that was in Spain, I went there alone, completely alone, to get away from a few things.
And I was dancin' on the rocks there Really, it was so fantastic. And the moon was bright, ya know, and I started dancin' and singin' and I sang that song and it stayed.
It's just the kind of moment that you want to find when you're writin' songs. For seven months from to Stevens was romantically linked to popular singer Carly Simon while both were produced by Samwell-Smith.
During that time both wrote songs for and about one another. He reciprocated in his song to her, after their romance, entitled, "Sweet Scarlet".
His next album, Catch Bull at Four , released in , was his most rapidly successful album in the United States, reaching gold record status in 15 days and holding the number one position for three weeks on the Billboard and fifteen weeks at number one in the Australian ARIA Charts.
Although the sales of the album indicated Stevens' popularity, the album did not produce any real hits, with the exception of the single "Sitting", which charted at number Catch Bull at Four was Platinum certified in Among the songs were " Where Do the Children Play?
After his religious conversion in the late s, Stevens stopped granting permission for his songs to be used in films. However, almost 20 years later, in , the film Rushmore received his permission to use his songs " Here Comes My Baby " and "The Wind", showing a new willingness on his part to release his music from his Western "pop star" days.
In , "Don't Be Shy" was used in the film Mr. The following year, "Father and Son" was used in the closing scene of the film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
Subsequent releases in the s also did well on the charts and in ongoing sales, although they did not touch the success he had from to It differed in several respects: entirely written by Stevens, he dropped his band and produced the record without the assistance of Samwell-Smith, who had played a large role in catapulting him to fame.
With the exception of some guitar on the title track and " I Dream", [63] he played keyboard instruments throughout the album. One side of Foreigner was continuous, much different from the radio-friendly pop tunes fans had come to expect.
In November he performed side two of the album at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood, with a pre-arranged uninterrupted quadraphonic simulcast on the ABC network.
The show was entitled the "Moon and Star" concert. This performance did include his band, but they were all but overshadowed by an orchestra.
The album produced a couple of singles including "The Hurt", but did not reach the heights he had once enjoyed.
The follow-up to Foreigner was Buddha and the Chocolate Box , largely a return to the instrumentation and styles employed in Teaser and the Firecat and Tea for the Tillerman.
Stevens' next album was the concept album Numbers , a less successful departure for him. In April , his Izitso album updated his pop rock and folk rock style with the extensive use of synthesisers , [64] giving it a more synthpop style.
This is one of the few music videos that Stevens made, other than simple videos of concert performances.
His final original album under the name Cat Stevens was Back to Earth , released in late , which was also the first album produced by Samwell-Smith since his peak in single album sales in the early s.
Several compilation albums were released before and after he stopped recording. After Stevens left Decca Records they bundled his first two albums together as a set, hoping to ride the commercial tide of his early success; later his newer labels did the same, and he himself released compilations.
The most successful of the compilation albums was the Greatest Hits which has sold over 4 million copies in the United States.
Stevens said, "I thought, music for God? I'd never heard that before — I'd heard of music for money, music for fame, music for personal power, but music for God!
If you save me I will work for you. This brush with death intensified his long-held quest for spiritual truth.
He had looked into " Buddhism , Zen , I Ching , numerology , tarot cards , and astrology ". During the time he was studying the Qur'an, Stevens began to identify more and more with the story of Joseph , a man bought and sold in the market place, which is how he said he had increasingly felt within the music business.
And if you listen to my music and lyrics, like "Peace Train" and "On The Road To Find Out", it clearly shows my yearning for direction and the spiritual path I was travelling.
Stevens formally converted to the Muslim faith on 23 December , taking the name Yusuf Islam in Yusuf is the Arabic rendition of the name Joseph; he stated that he "always loved the name Joseph" and was particularly drawn to the story of Joseph in the Qur'an.
They have one son and four daughters and nine grandchildren; [76] a second son died in infancy. Following his conversion, Islam abandoned his musical career for nearly two decades.
In , he said that when he became a Muslim in , the Imam at his mosque told him that it was fine to continue as a musician, as long as the songs were morally acceptable, but others were saying that "it was all prohibited", and he decided to avoid the question by ceasing to perform.
You come to a point where you have sung, more or less You know, up until that point, I hadn't had a life. I'd been searching, been on the road. He is also the founder and chairman of the Small Kindness charity, which initially assisted famine victims in Africa and now supports thousands of orphans and families in the Balkans , Indonesia, and Iraq.
In following an address by Islam to students at London's Kingston Polytechnic now Kingston University , where he was asked about the fatwa calling for the killing of Salman Rushdie , author of the novel The Satanic Verses , Islam made a series of comments that appeared to show support for the fatwa.
He stated "He Rushdie must be killed. The Qur'an makes it clear — if someone defames the prophet, then he must die. Subsequently, he commented in a interview on Australian television that Rushdie should be killed and stated he would rather burn Rushdie instead of an effigy.
Immediately following the September 11 attacks on the United States, he said:. He appeared on videotape on a VH1 pre-show for the October Concert for New York City , condemning the attacks and singing his song "Peace Train" for the first time in public in more than 20 years, as an a cappella version.
He also donated a portion of his box-set royalties to the fund for victims' families and the rest to orphans in underdeveloped countries.
On 21 September , Islam was on a United Airlines flight from London to Washington , travelling to a meeting with US entertainer Dolly Parton , who had recorded "Peace Train" several years earlier and was planning to include another Cat Stevens song on an upcoming album.
The following day, he was denied entry and flown back to the United Kingdom. A spokesman for Homeland Security claimed there were "concerns of ties he may have to potential terrorist-related activities".
Some people give a political interpretation to charity. We were horrified at how people were suffering in the Holy Land. Islam believed his inclusion on a "watch list" may have simply been an error: a mistaken identification of him for a man with the same name, but different spelling.
On 1 October he requested the removal of his name, "I remain bewildered by the decision of the US authorities to refuse me entry to the United States".
Two years later, in December , Islam was admitted without incident into the United States for several radio concert performances and interviews to promote his new record.
Rumours which circulated after made me imagine otherwise. He sued for libel and received an out-of-court financial settlement from the newspapers, which both published apology statements saying that he had never supported terrorism and mentioning that he had recently been given a Man of Peace award from the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates.
However The Sunday Times managing editor Richard Caseby said that while there was an "agreed settlement", they "always denied liability" and "disagreed with Cat Stevens' lawyers interpretation", but took a "pragmatic view" of the lawsuit.
Yusuf responded that he was "delighted by the settlement [which] helps vindicate my character and good name. It seems to be the easiest thing in the world these days to make scurrilous accusations against Muslims and, in my case, it directly impacts on my relief work and damages my reputation as an artist.
The harm done is often difficult to repair", and added that he intended to donate the financial award given to him by the court to help orphans of the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.
On 18 July , Islam received substantial undisclosed damages from the World Entertainment News Network following their publication of a story which claimed that the singer refused to speak to unveiled women.
His solicitor said "he was made out to be 'so sexist and bigoted that he refused at an awards ceremony to speak to or even acknowledge any women who were not wearing a veil ' ".
The accusation that I do not speak or interact with ladies who are not veiled is an absurdity It's true that I have asked my manager to respectfully request that lady presenters refrain from embracing me when giving awards or during public appearances, but that has nothing to do with my feelings or respect for them.
Islam simply requires me to honour the dignity of ladies or young girls who are not closely related to me, and avoid physical intimacy, however innocent it may be.
My four daughters all follow the basic wearing of clothes which modestly cover their God-given beauty. They're extremely well educated; they do not cover their faces and interact perfectly well with friends and society.
Islam gradually resumed his musical career in the s. His initial recordings had not included any musical instruments other than percussion, and they featured lyrics about Islamic themes, some in spoken word or hamd form.
He invested in building his own recording studio which he named Mountain of Light Studios in the late s, and he was featured as a guest singer on "God Is the Light", a song on an album of nasheeds by the group Raihan.
In addition, he invited and collaborated with other Muslim singers, including Canadian artist Dawud Wharnsby. Realising there were few educational resources designed to teach children about the Islamic religion, Islam wrote and produced a children's album, A Is for Allah , in [] with the assistance of South African singer-songwriter Zain Bhikha.
The title song was one Islam had written years before to introduce his first child to both the religion and the Arabic alphabet.
He also established his own record label, "Jamal Records", and Mountain of Light Productions, and he donates a percentage of his projects' proceeds to his Small Kindness charity, whose name is taken from the Qur'an.
On the occasion of the re-release of his Cat Stevens albums, Islam explained that he had stopped performing in English due to his misunderstanding of the Islamic faith.
I relied on heresy, that was perhaps my mistake. Islam has reflected that his decision to leave the Western pop music business was perhaps too quick with too little communication for his fans.
For most it was a surprise, and even his long-time guitarist Alun Davies said in later interviews that he hadn't believed that his friend would actually go through with it after his many forays into other religions throughout their relationship.
In , after repeated encouragement from within the Muslim world, [] Islam once again recorded " Peace Train " for a compilation CD, which also included performances by David Bowie and Paul McCartney.
He performed " Wild World " in Nelson Mandela 's concert with his earlier collaborator, Peter Gabriel , the first time he had publicly performed in English in 25 years.
The proceeds of "Father and Son" were donated to the Band Aid charity. Keating's former group, Boyzone , had a hit with the song a decade earlier.
As he had been persuaded before, Islam contributed to the song, because the proceeds were marked for charity. On 21 April Islam gave a short talk before a scheduled musical performance in Abu Dhabi , United Arab Emirates, on the anniversary of the prophet Muhammad 's birthday.
He said:. There is a great deal of ignorance in the world about Islam today, and we hope to communicate with the help of something more refined than lectures and talks.
Our recordings are particularly appealing to the young, having used songs as well as Qur'an verses with pleasing sound effects Islam observed that there are no real guidelines about instruments and no references about the business of music in the Qur'an, and that Muslim travellers first brought the guitar to Moorish Spain.
He noted that Muhammad was fond of celebrations, as in the case of the birth of a child, or a traveller arriving after a long journey.
Thus, Islam concluded that healthy entertainment was acceptable within limitations, and that he now felt that it was no sin to perform with the guitar.
Music, he now felt, is uplifting to the soul; something sorely needed in troubled times. With this performance, Islam began slowly to integrate instruments into both older material from his Cat Stevens era some with slight lyrical changes and new songs, both those known to the Muslim communities around the world and some that have the same Western flair from before with a focus on new topics and another generation of listeners.
After I embraced Islam, many people told me to carry on composing and recording, but at the time I was hesitant, for fear that it might be for the wrong reasons.
I felt unsure what the right course of action was. I guess it is only now, after all these years, that I've come to fully understand and appreciate what everyone has been asking of me.
It's as if I've come full circle; however, I have gathered a lot of knowledge on the subject in the meantime.
In early , Islam released a new song, entitled "Indian Ocean", about the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami disaster. Proceeds of the single went to help orphans in Banda Aceh , one of the areas worst affected by the tsunami , through Islam's Small Kindness charity.
At first, the single was released only through several online music stores but later featured on the compilation album Cat Stevens: Gold.
But now I've done it all and there's a little space for me to fill in the universe of music again. The Adopt-A-Minefield charity, under the patronage of Paul McCartney, works internationally to raise awareness and funds to clear landmines and rehabilitate landmine survivors.
Islam has credited his then year-old son Muhammad Islam, also a musician and artist, for his return to secular music, when the son brought a guitar back into the house, which Islam began playing.
This documentary film features rare audio and video clips from the late s and s, as well as an extensive interview with Islam, his brother David Gordon, several record executives, Bob Geldof , Dolly Parton , and others outlining his career as Cat Stevens, his conversion and emergence as Yusuf Islam, and his return to music in There are clips of him singing in the studio when he was recording An Other Cup as well as a few excerpts of him on guitar singing a few verses of Cat Stevens songs including "The Wind" and "On the Road to Find Out".
Accompanying him, as in the Cat Stevens days, was Alun Davies , on guitar and vocals. In March , Islam finished recording his first all-new pop album since The performer is noted as "Yusuf", with a cover label identifying him as "the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens".
The art on the album is credited to Yoriyos. Islam actively promoted this album, appearing on radio, television and in print interviews.
This is the real thing When my son brought the guitar back into the house, you know, that was the turning point. It opened a flood of, of new ideas and music which I think a lot of people would connect with.
Also in November , Billboard magazine was curious as to why the artist is credited as just his first name, "Yusuf" rather than "Yusuf Islam". The second name is like the official tag, but you call a friend by their first name.
It's more intimate, and to me that's the message of this record. For a lot of people, it reminds them of something they want to hold on to.
That name is part of my history and a lot of the things I dreamt about as Cat Stevens have come true as Yusuf Islam. The answer was that his breakthrough album, Tea for the Tillerman in , was decorated with Islam's painting of a peasant sitting down to a cup of steaming drink on the land.
He commented that the two worlds "then, and now, are very different". His new album shows a steaming cup alone on this cover.
His answer was that this was actually an other cup; something different; a bridge between the East and West, which he explained was his own perceived role.
He added that, through him, "Westerners might get a glimpse of the East, and Easterners, some understanding of the West. The cup, too, is important; it's a meeting place, a thing meant to be shared.
