Yusuf Islam or Cat Stevens
 

I just saw him on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. I can't wait to get his new album, Roadsinger.
I recorded his performance. I'm watching him again right now. :)
He's always been one of my favorites.

Yusuf/Cat is very cool...An Other Cup was a great album. Saw him on Chris Issak show and Gunnar Nelson was playing backup. McCartney and Dolly Parton sing on the new album. I've always sid that Don Quixote could be a Cat Stevens song and some of his could be Gord's. Never heard them comment on each other.

i saw him the other night on leno and immediately thought 'someone needs to get a quality version of this on youtube'

wonderful mix...his voice hasn't changed a bit (neither has james taylor's)

click on the HQ option for best sound:
YouTube - Yusuf - "Roadsinger" on Leno 5/13/09 (TheAudioPerv.com)

char, those links don't work in canada, eh? lol

one of the most superb DVDs i own 'audio and interview-wise' is Cat's...the live concert is crisp and the BBC studio extras are A1

i agree with you, Bill...btw, weren't gord and cat put on the homeland security high alert list at one point? ;)

Re: Yusuf Islam or Cat Stevens
 

ahh, i am biased i suppose but the problem with the colbert viewing is there is a piano void, unlike the leno appearance;)

wish heffernan was playing a real piano in gord live arrangements

Re: Yusuf Islam or Cat Stevens
 

oh my, someone upload some of those bbc versions i spoke of...click on HQ, for dial-uppers it worth the wait, what a mix

YouTube - Cat Stevens - If I Laugh BBC 'Old Grey Whistle Test' 1971

i see tuesday's dead is also there...go nuts

Re: Yusuf Islam or Cat Stevens
 

thanks char! a fun interview in an uncomfortable kinda way...the few muslims i work with are (on the surface and likely inward) the most peaceful folks i know...there are unfortunately catastrophic 'blips' in the muslim AND non-muslim population...anyhow, it's a sensitive subject but on a lighter note, i'm glad this cool cat is back

here's a clip from the DVD interviews i mentioned earlier...the 2:15 mark is where he comments on his 'calling'...my phone has not yet rung, perhaps it's off the hook

You HAVE to be kidding! Our Gordon on Homeland Security's High Alert list? Cat Stevens, maybe I could understand, and even that I don't really understand. But seriously...Gordon Lightfoot on the High Alert list. What on earth could he have done to have been put there?

Re: Yusuf Islam or Cat Stevens
 

hi timetraveler
i wasn't kidding, lol
but i think the article in this fun old thread was:)
