  • We are just leaving for a walk there inspired by the song!!! Happy New Year to all! (31/12/2011)

  • I miss Portobello Road. A little heaven in Notting hill. :)

  • hahahaha 1 person hasnt ever been in portobello road!!!

  • I love this jolly song!!!

  • My favorite song

  • Great song.Guitar is a little out of tune.

  • his guy is a genius

  • I love this song it sums up the 60's so well! another song I love is Moonstone! I don't know why... It is just so spellbinding. All his songs are ahead of his time. But we knew that didn't we?

  • same here! i was like no way did cat stevens do a cover of a bedknobs and broomsticks song! i was right, he didnt . But this is still a great song.

  • I thought this was Portobello Road from Bedknobs and Broomsticks!!! LOL!!! Good song though!

  • I didn't know Cat Islam wrote a song about 'the Bella', cool.

  • Just one of the songs that made me fall in love with Cat Steven's music. Getting hung up all day on smiles and nothing's the same if you see it again!

  • I really like the whistling! I wish he whistled on other songs!

  • Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, for all those cats who grew up i the sixties in Swinging London, this song conjures up the atmosphere and the mood of a wonderful time! Portobello Road, wandering up and down all day looking at the market stalls and just hanging out. I cannot believe how time has gone so quickly, I would love to be able to go back just for one day. The 60's were such a fantastic time, I can smell the Patchouli oil even now. Peace and love to all.

  • @andygrahamme Oh, that we COULD go back just for a while!! Blessings to ALL!!

  • Portobello Road, probably my favorite street in the world, and a great song about it, here.

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • would be great to see him actually sing this!

  • Favorite song.

  • Matthew and son is such a wonderfull album ... so sweat and smart.

  • Yet another stroke of Cat's genius. Thanks for posting it up.

  • Stevens later commented, "I had a girlfriend, and she was working for this big firm, and I didn't like the way that she had to spend so much of her time working. The riff seemed to fit the words, Matthew and Son. There was a bit of social comment there about people being slaves to other people."

  • it's so original -you can feel as if you're walking down Portobello rd!

  • lllllllove it! ♥

  • Great!! I always waited 4 this song!

  • I've never heard this either - you're right. It really captures Portobello market (I imagine even more so in the 60s/70s)

  • amazing !! havent heard this before .. lovvvee it !!
