The Best of Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens celebrates his 75th birthday this week.

He went through several reinventions throughout his career, firstly as a 60s teen idol pop star, then to a soul-searching singer-songwriter, then to a devout man of the Muslim faith having changed his name to Yusuf Islam.

His legacy as a music legend is well and truly secured, especially since being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and performing at Glastonbury Festival’s lauded Legends Slot in 2023.
