finetune artist: Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens's debut single found its way to the U.K. charts while he was still in his teens. He became an international star with 1970's TEA FOR THE TILLERMAN, which showed an evolution in his style. With his distinctive voice, memorable melodies, and sensitive, socially conscious lyrics, Stevens typified the singer-songwriter aesthetic of the early '70s. His records from that period were incredibly successful, familiar to anyone growing up at the time. Over the years, his music grew a little less accessible, and by the end of the '70s he had converted to Islam, changed his name to Yusuf Islam, and retired from pop music. A 2006 comeback album, recorded under his new name, was a lovely return to form.

He is a man that knows himself better then most, has kept true to his music, turned to his religion and even now gives the profits from his recent release to charitable organizations that are peaceful. Peace train takes me back to childhood of the sixties when America was awoken from innocence by many shattering events. We have alot to learn from a peaceful man.

Perhaps he gave his money to the 9-11 people?
