People as old as me probably remember the music of Cat Stevens from the early 1970s. He sold millions of records, and had some truly great songs. I remember when my son was a toddler I could always get him to fall asleep by singing "Moonshadow" to him.
After a near-drowning he converted to Islam and left pop music behind.
My local radio stations just ...[text shortened]... ercial LP in 28 years very shortly.
I certainly interested to hear what he comes up with.
anyway, what a wuss - i nearly drowned a few years back, but do you see me converting to Islam and leaving pop music behing? no siree!

Q: DID CAT STEVENS SING/WRITE "CAT'S IN THE CRADLE?":
No. "Cat's In The Cradle" was written and recorded by Harry Chapin. This is a VERY common misconception. Recently there have been a number of Cat's In The Cradle MP3 files on file sharing services that claim to be either Cat Stevens (Bio), or Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens. They are not, it's just Harry. Or in some cases some other artist who recorded the song. Cat not only didn't write the song but never performed it. Not live, not in the studio, and not even privately.
