  • Life is best when seen thru the eyes of a poet.

  • Powerful, emotional singer. Cat is Cancer. His highly sensitive and spiritual sense runs through all of his songs. 

  • AWESOME!!!! Love it!!!!!

  • can i just marry cat stevens NOW......really cat! 760-8053764

  • stands well up to the test of time...

    great emotional song and Cat has a great sense of humour

  • If he didn't stop in the middle of it forgetting his words, I would have said that it's a recorded version. This guy is by far the greatest live singer ever seen....Glad he is back again.

  • Cat's Compositions are Super Sensational ! Expressive, meaningful lyrics. great Harmonies.Ballads to listen to forever !! 

    Master of Music !!!

  • i sure wish i was that cameraman

  • Comment removed

  • @snapperjohn1000 I think you are right on!

  • He wery good person and trustful..he was in dark side of life world to finde peace in his heart,.you can hear that in his woice..

    "Thnx for touching so many hearts & souls with your Beautiful Music. Cat Stevens BBC Bitter Blue "

  • Amazing...at first I thought this was lipsyched...then I realized....as I realized how 'real' it was, that it was 70''s studio reverd...that he stopped and wanted to do it again....and again...was so authentic and REAL...make it all that much more REAL and AMAZING...everything I was hoping for when I searched for this...and then some. The passion and commitment is amazing. Namaste

  • he is so dam good looking;) Oh and a great singer and musician as well..

  • @thegreatimpostor Just HAVE to love him he's soooo SPECIAL!!

  • I like his music....i dont care what he is or not....

  • There r a lot of different kinds of love u have in ur life time and they r all connected. if u loose a piece the jigsaw is never complete and u loose ur connectedness..that is how i felt till finding the missing piece from my childhood.... so glad ur back,,,

  • This cat has always been, and still is, one of the most FANTASTIC singer/songwriters this world has ever seen....Has made me smile for more years than I can remember ~ What a soul <3

    This is great and shows what a wonderful person he is~

  • love that acoustic sound in the hands of a master musician

  • Sometimes people have to lay off the metallica and pearl jam types and listen to Cat Sevens.

  • STILL love his music. He is a true artist. One of a kind.

  • This is a gorgeous song. I agree with huskerdeux on this one. Cats one helluva sport. :)

  • Great song, great performer!

  • This is such a superb example of why he is so highly regarded... The audience isn't coming to be entertained, in his world... they are friends to him, I think... nothing "airbrushed" or lip-synced. He can actually DO this stuff.

  • omg i just love this man

  • he is god

  • I love His sonfs, but he's like all the rest--searching for something that does not exist -- HERE!

    MHP

  • Sweet!

  • gipson J-180 amazing guitar

  • @carruscainamoto gibson?

  • this song consist of very complicated stacato guitar rythms.i se how it would be hard to remember lyrics,sing ,and play all at the same time. i like the old gibson he was playing,it looks like an old everly brothers model. i think he was mostly a gibson man back then. his acoustic back up player is just nothing short of fantastic. i think this song might be about his asumed lifes reincarnated,and this one as the last chance to get it right.

  • he said : I wote it...I wrote it !! Awesome, beautiful, the one , a star in the world

  • MISSS YOU....

  • i love you

  • **** Awesome*****

  • an angel from heaven

  • we need to keep his music alive....i know i will

  • love this song

  • Yusuf is much greater now : )

  • god cat u were soooo so good. rhonda

  • how can you not looove this man. he is so beautiful, his music is so beautiful

  • Thanks for the post....big fan! Peace to ya!!

  • The words, the music, the wisdom.. all put together in ever beautiful way by this young musician then..reflecting the confusion of the young against the time and life.

    wonder peace of lyric and music

  • @nauthiz04_ Id bet you are!

  • Oh My Bitter Blue!!!!!

  • He will always be Cat Stevens to me. What a great voice

  • never tire of seeing him sing ... His voice is beautiful, wonderful facial expressions ... a charm!

  • I think I just turned gay..:0

  • fabulous piece of tape! thank you so much.

  • I'm in love with him.

  • @nauthiz04 join the crowd....

  • Haven't heard this song in a really long time!!!

  • such a honey

    yusuf - cat is a mega babe

    hot hot hot

  • You should see his hot son, Yoriyos, who is a singer as well

  • Agreed. I love his mouth! And this video is so cute ... him making the mistakes and all. Adorable!

  • Hahaha got to love his laugh sooooo

    adorable

  • rockin song!

  • Music straight from Heaven <3

  • He was so gorgeous

  • My screen name is because of this song! My God, it's so cute how he wants it absolutely perfect...a true artist! & check out his leg position at 2:36. He lifts his left leg straight up a foot or so, as a cue that they have to it over yet again! They have the giggles at that point! Finally it works to his satisfaction then! Amazing video! Thanks for posting! I've always loved him, since I was 8! God, what an evolved, sweet, intelligent, funny soul he is! & check out the guitar! Sweet!

  • What a story there is to this Cat. Check out his Wiki page, what a talent. I adored him back in this time. Can't say I care for his recent (2008) stuff. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case for all musican-artists as they age. If you don't know it - you should check out the foreigner suite.

  • Loves how he laughs and repeats the song like he hasn't a care in the world. Hope I could take things simply like that.

  • As Nuiceltico says.. he will always be Cat Stevens to his fans .. from Steve Georgiou to Cat Stevens to Yusuf Islam.. but always plain Steve to his friends .. this guy is something else .. indeed a rare talent.

  • aaah Gosh; so young. where did the time go?

  • Adoooooro de qualquer maneira!!!!!!!!! Incrivel!!!!

  • PASSION!!!!

  • a good singer one of the best ones i know

  • Wow...what year is this that they had overhead monitors ? He sounds awesome... I love all of his songs...they're timeless.

  • in this video it shows that not everyone is perfect. So even superstars can make mistakes

  • i wish people would realize that this is REAL music. rap is stupid. its a bunch of black guys talking with background music and rapping about cars guns drugs and girls. cars and girls are the only good thing they rap about.

    LONGLIVETHECAT!

  • He'll always remains Cat Stevens to his fans as his music and songwriting a are timeless gifts.

    Bravo though not as familiar with this song.

  • The song is from the 1972 Number 1 album 'Teaser and the Firecat'...

  • I think me mum had a bit of a crush on the Cat.Two fine people...

  • Considering both my parents were born in1917,they weren't the biggest Rock 'n Roll fans,but more than once I returned home to catch my mother listening to my Cat Stevens albums.I think me mum had a crush on the Cat...

  • I was 18 when" Teaser and the Firecat" was released.He was 24.Now 55 and 61 respectively,his music is timeless,I feel young again every time I listen to his music.Thanks Yusuf.

  • I'm so happy he's back,and stronger than ever at 61!

  • I dedicated this song to only one person in my life, And she shoved it right back in my face!! I wish her well.....PEACE

  • I just want to run my fingers through his hair. He doesn't have any now...

  • Love it.. Also the thing that goes wrong.. very nice:) What a hero

  • does anyone know where i can find a good tab for this except from the ultimate guitar one (which has been copied and pasted onto every tab page..) coz its crap?or can anyone tab it ?

  • Absolutely amazing!

  • He still is.

  • He still is. He was promoting Road Singer in May and appeared on several shows, including Jimmy Fallon where he performed Boots and Sand and Father and Son...he was gorgeous and charming. Jimmy appeared appeared to be a big fan, as did Steve Croft from 60 Minutes.

  • He still is. He did quite a bit of publicity in the states for the Road Singer album, including Jimmy Fallon where he sang Boots and Sand and Father and Son. He was gorgeous and charming. Jimmy seemed to be a big fan of both Cat and Yusef.

  • He still is. He looked gorgeous on his May appearance on Jimmy Fallon. He sang Boots and Sand from Road Singer and Father and Son.

  • true inspiration

    every time i hear him i am filled with love!

  • He was so handsome!

  • Matches my comment on Father & Son (Original) I said he's the best looking man I ever saw-and he is!

  • He still is. He promoted Road Singer on several shows in the US in May, including Jimmy Fallon where he performed Boots and Sand and Father and Son...he was gorgeous and charming. Jimmy appeared to be a big fan, as did Steve Croft from 60 Minutes.

  • I was in love with Cat at age 16.. just memorized....it was a nice walk down memory lane....i am 50 now.

  • still is :)

  • Yes:-) I share your feeling. He was very handsome. And now he has still charisma. Amazing and very wise man.

  • Exactly!! And he has so emotive voice...

  • I look JUST like him! Maybe we can go have a burger or something some time?

  • yes he was 30 years ago i looked just like him.

  • You probably won't belive this, but in his youth he was a dead ringer for Austin Powers, check out his Bio, it will blow your mind!!

  • @Clameeter Ew no!! I won't look!!

  • He still is! me think 0=)

  • The man's music is a gift to the world. Accept it for just that. He is right up there with Elton John and Billy Joel as one of the most PASSIONATE song writers and performers of all time. J.J.

  • There are but a few who can put the energy and life into an acoustic guitar and vocal like Cat Stevens. Even though this was filled with goofs its still immensely entertaining. What a talent he was and so glad he came back to pop.

  • thnx yusuf for being such an inspirator and helping me decide to pick the guitar up

  • What a talent. He was everything that represented the best in music, back in the day. Such a gift. The best of music came from this generation of musicians. My grandson, Christopher, is constantly asking me if I've ever heard of this one, or that one. The other day, it was Cat Stevens. I hugged him and kissed him and we sat and listened to "Tea for the Tillerman," together. My grandson, he's a smart one.

  • I like this cause they leave in the mistakes. He's so funny......

  • Happy Birthday, on 21st July, Yusuf (aka.,C.S, and SDG).

  • Happy Birthday 21st July, Yusuf (aka Cat Stevens).Very many Happy Returns. And Thank you for the music and the poetry.

  • This man has the right to explore his own path. He left enough music when he was this babe to last us forever! Bless him and the sharing of his gift!

  • I like your response!

  • well said - what a genuine person and musician-

  • Did you know that he is now just Yusuf (no Islam surname), aka Cat Stevens, of course. Cheers.

  • you are so true !!!

  • He IS back...

  • genious. absolute genious.

  • Sorry, but he is still cute....its still him!!

  • he's so cute :) i love this song

  • ... and it's a great lesson to stay cool whatever happens!

  • I learn to play the acoustic guitar by watching and listening to this song when it first came out in in 1970 when I was 13 years old. Notice it is all "open chords". It's fast tempo but fairly easy to play. Still love and use it to warm up.

  • He just melts my heart.

  • and mine ;)

  • He's great! I just love Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam.

  • Steven Demetre Georgiou/Cat Stevens/Yousef Islam is the best greek-swedish muslim singer songwriter ever.

  • how many other greek-swedish muslim singer songwriters can u name

  • Um ... off the top of my head ... four ...

  • No! Im not one of them! ;)

  • ha ha!

  • lol

  • heh heh.....I want to be 3 different people in my lifetime...it's my goal

  • aw bless =)

    i love cat !

  • he is nim yusuf islam

  • continue to inspire people in your life till you meet God.

  • this is great...

  • This exemplifies the difference between a real artist and a hack pop musician. A real artist isn't afraid to stop and start until they have demonstrated the music in the way it was meant to be played. A real artist isn't ashamed to make a mistake and start again. A real artist delivers on their craft until they satisfy the only person who needs to give it their approval--themselves. Ladies and Gentleman... a real artist: Cat Stevens.

  • Agreed ... most artist today would just play on and not care about the art of there music.... or show no class!!

    RS45

  • Yes, I agree totally! ; )

  • I agree.

  • I agree.

  • I agree.

    It actually made it all that much sweeter when he got it perfect at the end.

    =)

  • I agree.

    It actually made it all that much sweeter when he got it perfect at the end.

    =)

  • loved you in the 70's and still doxxx great man good speaker and good friend

  • Hey, STUFF happens *grins*

  • Cute when stoned!

  • Gorgeous man! Soulful musician.

    I'm trying to bite my tongue about making a religious comment - like if you want to look for God, you won't find it in any religion, look in the mirror instead - but I'll bite my lip and not say anything ;)

    Anyway, I love this man and his music has been a great gift to humanity.

  • you just made a comment... then said you wouldnt say it.. but you said it.. lol?

  • Comment removed

  • If your talking about the screen it's a mirrored image.

  • Yeah!

     Awesome

  • top quality..

  • This is great!! (:

  • they don't make em like this anymore. thanks for posting this.

  • que homem lindo... que músico lindo...

    what a hadnsome man.... what a handsome musician...

  • entendi cara, eu entendi nosssa mais brasileiros q gostam q bom

  • legal! ;)

  • the greatest music i have ever heard.

    sad, that he is "Yusuf Islam" now, Cat Stevens was better. But his music is still one of the best.

  • food for thought: we were all better when we were 40 years younger! (some of you were not here 40 yrs ago, I realize, but LOL) Yusuf is wonderfully matured and tender. He has done something meaningful with his life. I had a crush on him when he was 21, 22? In his maturity I admire him greatly for his courage and tenacity ... for his actions that go beyond idealistic dreams.

  • That´s so great :-))))) yeahhh

  • Is that Phil Lynott on bass?

  • Naah I don't think so. But there's a little resemblance yes haha.

  • One of his best songs, a favourite from age 13 or so.

    Thank you!

  • ah, the inspiration behind my username... This song *speaks* to me... very nostalgic, as most of Cats music is.

  • I love greatness and especially when they fuck up! GOD bless CAT and useff!

  • i've been in love with this song for the last couple of months now - been a while since I've heard it but it's my new favourite. this and Can't Keep It In. thanks for posting

  • Not sure if there are any guitar players whom are posting in this thread, I gotta ask dontcha just love the Gibson J-200!

  • Huh..the only J-200 I've seen is the natural wood one, which looks nicer in my opinion. Still sounds great though

  • He is Amazing!!!....<~~~I'm sending Cat to My Mom who taught Me Him. (She sais it always felt like He was singing JUST To Her. I Feel the same way!....(Still)... : )

  • Simply awesome. True talent and I love the mistake taken with good humour. Miss the man.

  • lets face it this guy is arguably the best singer+ song writer the world had seen. its a shame the industry tried to banish his music because he became a Muslim. a true musical legend.

  • I agree with your evaluation but where did you get the idea that the industry tried to ban his music? I've never heard Yusuf say that in any of his interviews.

  • hi, i never said ban i said banish.. ie. driving a steam roller over his records after stiching him up on national television and inciminating him with lies about what he said. if you havent already seen "cat stevens to yusaf islam" i would recommend it.

  • The whole thing was silly, it had to do with what he believed in....???  it's called religion.

  • @whyseyes1 I totally agree. His new stuff is great!

  • Can anyone tell me why you do not hear songs like this played on the radio anymore, rarely if never.....5*x5* ---happyjack39----
