  • Oh can't you see...To wash your clothes and hold your hand..Anything.....You ARE my Honey Man!!! Always...Great song...Love the hard piano...Elton is cool...Yusuf, Cat is vibrant!!! So Good... :) <3 NOW!

  • Theres only 1 Honey Man and thats TIM BUCKLEY!!!!

  • From majicat.com fan site: "This song (Honey Man) was never officially released until the 4 CD box set release by Cat in 2001! Elton John & Cat Stevens first recorded it in ’70, but record company politics prevented its release then. Two cover versions did get released as singles to a complacent record-buying public – the first by Sweet Salvation in ’70 and then by Brotherly Love in ’72. Cat had co-written the song with his friend Ken Cumberbatch, who had contributed the piano-based riff."

  • Love these two. Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam is one of my favorite singer's along side the great song writer, and singer John Lennon.

  • at which LP / Single was this released?

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah... I agree. But, these days he might regret this one. Elton too maybe. It's pretty awful.

  • Cat Stevens = Best Songwriter that ever lived.

  • Two legends.

  • i think elton john, cat stevens, bruce springsteen, bob dylan, and prince is the best writers ever

  • @rj689 "Is"?

  • Wow, it's a great song!!! It makes me want to dance!!

  • Two of my heroes! I now declare this my favorite song!

  • 2 great together wow

  • awesome combo, great song

  • beautifull song !

  • two of the best songwriters ever...............

  • Two legends so different in lifestyle... Their career paths and personal choices can't get any more divergent!

  • @dollarability Can't grow up a bit? Homosexuals in the Muslim countries are the same as they were before issues were hijacked by social engineers hired by the elite, who use issues not because they are soooo troubled by wrongs, but because they can be used for politics. Divide and rule.

    They are NOT 'chased and hunted down' by marauding masses, as they were not in the West. They are culturally absorbed, except for a some cases such as in Iran; where, btw, state pays for sex change!

    Research!!

  • Would LUV if the two of them got together and re-did this song. :-)

  • I've been a huge fan of both since the '70s. I never knew they collaborated on anything. Thanks for this!

  • ha....:)

  • why in any ods name do u have to bring religion into this. its music. great music

    cat stevens/ yusuf islam, who cares , since i was12 he has been a favorite of mine, my kids, my moms, my dads, anyone i ever turned him onto.

    no one ever asked about his politcs or religion. they just sang teh words and felt happy..

  • I want the piano cover :(

  • Cat Stevens being a muslim is now unable to accept homosexuals they are stoned or beaten in islam

  • @redshirtish too bad ass is a exit for waste dont use for sex.

  • @dodica54 For some people like you, the mouth is also an exit for waste...

  • @redshirtish yep ı think its the right way.God created woman for man -man for woman...why to need sth else or a way dangerous to health ?

  • Elton has a great new album The Union, with Leon Russell- given 5 stars in Rolling Stone.

  • This is better than 94% of what I heard in the last 49 years.

  • @Gozzillacia cat stevens doesn't live in iran moron

    and iran doesn't got anything to do whit cat/yusuf

    just listen to his music smartass

  • @Gozzillacia Dude, that's ridiculous! Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam is known for his peace movements. How about you listen to the genius' that are Cat Stevens and Elton John without bringing religion or sexual orientation into the equation.

  • @themightyeythain hahaha...so funny

  • @themightyeythain

    Friend, too many people are narrow-minded so much that can't find their noses if they bit them in the face. It's music, two legends who got together and did a cool song...From my Cat fanaticism I have learned that the record companies of the artists had issues about who gets what from "Honeyman so it wasn't released. Quite a fun song eh?

  • @ shanna1950 It is not hearsay, I saw him myself, with my own eyes, and heard him with my own ears, calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie under the orders of the then Islamic dictator of Iran. The man is a fascist promoting a fascist religious/political cult called Islam - you know they say it themselves - "You love life - we love death."

  • Thanks for sharing. I didn't know this one. GREAT!!

  • I guess this was before Cat decided that gays should be killed. Since he echoed the Iranian Islamic dictatorships call for the murder of Salman Rushdie - I guess, Cat also approves of the Iranian habit of hanging young gay men in public?

  • @Gozzillacia - He won already way too many law suits of people accusing him of the wrong things. Look at people's deeds. and don't go by hearsay or behave like sheep.

  • Cholinar, you can't down Mr. terrific. Elton was and still is and will always be one of the best ever. I love that guy. His music kept me sane while living in abject poverty on the south side of Chicago. Cat Stevens was a great one to. But Elton, I mean what a musician.

  • I love cat stevens but elton john can go lick some dicks elsewhere -.- ...

  • If only Elton's name was dog. Then they could be Cat-Dog.

  • I feel a lot of pity for Elton John, because he has taken a dark, dark road in the waning years of his life. I hope that he is somehow able to find the light like Yusuf Islam did, before he dies in the clutches of darkness and selfishness.

  • @Purushadasa You feel "pity" for Elton John? You haven't stated what you consider to be his "dark" and "selfish" behaviour. Anything to do with his homosexuality perhaps? If so, your "pity" is the definition of pitiful.

  • @Purushadasa What, I wonder, is this "light" you presume Yusuf Islam to have found? As a Sharia-abiding Muslim, he considers stoning adulterous women, hanging teenage homosexuals and beheading those who disagree with his god to be morally sound actions. You call that "light"? Yusuf Islam is an hysteric in a total humanitarian blackout.

  • this is shit and they should both be embarrassed...

  • @mastertusk as if you could do anything remotely better.

  • @atty1chgo Yes, in the shower I do my best work! Where you no doubt do your best work in the gay bath houses...

  • @mastertusk oh you're from Australia? That explains everything. Your genetics are the best of the criminals of the British empire. Great legacy, asshole.

  • @atty1chgo You obviously havent been to' Australya' lately...british convict heritage is probably now only about 10% of the population....we have all types of asians, africans, muslims and everything else that make up the other 90%. Oh there is also an asian massage palour on every corner...you should do some rough trade sometime....faggot!

  • @mastertusk Nor would I want to go to Australia - too many fudge packers like you.

  • @atty1chgo & @ mastertusk - please refrain from headbashing. It's terrible that in these times, we still behave like Neandethal. Why can't human beings get along with one another? We are all from the same Source. Drop religion and look for the good in each other.

  • @shanna1950 When no talent in-bred cretins like mastertusk speak like they do, they need to reminded of their low class lack of intelligence in a manner that they can understand. If they speak with some modicum of intelligence, then I will respond in kind.

  • @atty1chgo - if people are IGNORANT, full of prejudice and not open-minded, you won't be able EVER to reach them....

  •  Elton Cat!

  • Both were and still are absolutely amazing artists, thanks so much for posting the link!! I had no idea such a great duet existed

  • Wow -- it's interesting to find out that these two recorded together.

    Also, it's ironic that Elton John took an unfortunate turn down a dark and selfish path, while Cat Stevens found the light and turned his life around and accomplished something of real value.

    God bless you!

  • @Purushadasa

    I love Cat's music but this shit is the kind of shit I hate to read

  • cat stevens is of course tge best singer ever ,that brings the song to a higer form

  • @SachaTheEvilOne

    i agree

  • Comment removed

  • One became a Muslim and the other became a fag.  Not surprisingly, everyone is criticizing the Cat!

  • @tobygeral seriousely sad..what a shallow comment . Both great creative indiviuals who are what and have been what they are..Sincere ! Problems of your you would like to share/ How about stupidity?

  • @tobygeral And you just went on to became more misanthropic and stupid, apparently.

  • Cat Stevens is my favorite ever, and I like Elton John a lot, but this song was awful for both of them......

  • blackmore4, keep your politic talk to yourself. Nobody came here for that, we're here to listen to a great song so shhhh!

  • WoW..great..^

  • I never knew that Cat Stevens and Elton John recorded together! Wild!

    It's ironic that EJ made a turn down the dark and selfish road even though CS found the light and turned his life around.

    God bless!

  • @Purushadasa

    It's hard to find calling for the beheading of someone who wrote a book with differing opinions anything but "dark"... or for that matter "selfish" in the most twisted way it's possible to imagine. If you think that believing in totalitarian bronze-age superstition qualifies as finding some sort of "light" then good luck to you but the "light" that advocates death sentences for 'blasphemy' will be challenged until totally extinguished.

  • @Purushadasa And you went down the 'fascist, right-wing, religious wingnut' road.

  • @1caninelover You don't know my politics, and most people who do consider me to be left-wing or moderate. In any case, I'm certainly not fascist or right-wing! LOL

    Also, the vast majority of intelligent people on the planet are, like me, Theists, so I am in very good company, philosophically speaking. It is the deluded atheist who is clearly in the extreme minuscule minority worldwide, and is without a doubt the world's "village idiot" and wingnut.

  • If Yusuf Islam had his way and Sharia Law came to Britain, he'd not only happily see Rushdie beheaded for blasphemy, he'd be quoting Quranic 'justification' for the hanging of Elton John.

  • @blackmore4

    so would the archbishop of canterbury

  • Oh yes, Rowan 'Sharia' Williams. Not content with spouting his own ludicrous creed, he makes a speech advocating the 'benefits' of inviting the legal system responsible for the most flagrant brutal totalitarian abuses of basic human rights into secular democratic British culture.

    So yes, you're absolutely right. The sword above Salman Rushdie's neck is in Yusuf Islam's hands and Archbishop Rowan Sharia Williams awaits Elton John at the gallows.

  • @blackmore4 Thats some nice speculation there blackmore. how much do you really know about yusufs personal life and opinions? or are you making sweeping judgements based on his religion. for your information he doesnt support the execution of salman rushdie. Or didnt you follow the issue closely?

  • @ggesgd

    Oh that's good news. I didn't know that Yusuf Islam had retracted his full endorsement (which i saw on television and which my cousin heard live at a lecture) for the beheading of Salman Rushdie. He does need to make a full public apology to Salman Rushdie though. Or has he done that too?

  • I had NO IDEA these two recorded together...... what a weird find (but kinda nice just the same)....

  • Are you sure it's Elton John not Ken Cumberbatch?!?!

  • @ChangesIV

    it is elton for sure..

    says so on the album

  • @TheSensesensilibility (tough to say (and spell, LOL))

    Yes, he was the 'Lady Gaga' of the time.

    'just sorry 'Cat' lent his name to this song.

    As(s) they say: MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!

    'just sayin'

  • look who was the lady Gaga of that era!

    still willing to do just anything....

  • Yeah, I liked the no frills Elton from the past too, before he became a more Liberace type. Never heard this before. Cool they did this together, but I don't really like this song. I loved Cat's stuff later on, but not his earlier stuff.

  • Thanks 4 Sharing"""" wohooo

    Love it!!!

  • discovering the song sing the last hour. can't stop playing it. its like falling in love with a tune.

  • One of my favorites!

  • Their voices are both so unique that when they come together it's godly.

  • Love both these guys great musicians cant belive they played together great great song

  • Mega sucess turned Elton John into a Liberace imitation, I kinda like the no frills look of Elton John during his earlier and classic albums like Tumbleweed Connection

  • cat stevens rocks!

  • OMFG WOW

  • this song is weird, but i like it this way

  • Thanks for posting this.

  • elton john is dressed like a freak show

  • This is way cool, I like both Elton and Cat, but I've never heard of this recording. WOW. A friend and I am actually making a list of every artist elton have duetted with, and I just found an other one:p

  • LMAO LOL ELTON AND THE GATO??? who woulda ever thunk it im gonna run down to the basement noe ???

  • Well, remember Elton coverred Lady d'Arbanville on one of those sound-alike compilations in about 1970.

  • jeez this is pish?@{__

  • wow had no idea this existed - and it is not crap - I wonder if they collaborated in the same room - unlike Elton and Bernie!

  • I love both of them......but this song is crap!!! WTF Please....I do not wish to offend anyone. PEACE

  • hahaha wonder if elton john wanted to be cat tevens honey man

  • lol

  • looooool

  • seems like there in vocal competition

  • Que Raridade!

    Bombático!!!

  • Awesome duet :)

  • COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL

  • Wow!!!!!!!! Haven't heard this in years!!!

    Spectacular!!!

  • Interesting collaboration!!!!

  • THIS SONG IS SO GOOD.

  • which album is off as am cat stevens and elton john fans linda

  • I think it's on the box set

  • just found it, the box set is under Cat Stevens name and is called "the City"

  • thats marvellous, really marvellous. love you and yours songs guys

  • This is a novelty, yes, but a fascinating and very listenable one. Thanks for posting. Oddities like this are what make YouTube great.

  • Wow, I had never heard this song and I loved it, especially because I love Elton and cat, and having both in one song it's like being in heaven without Saint Peter's permission. I love them

  • getting happy xD

  • What kind of stuff they use to put in the England's water on the seventies that turn normal guys in musical genius? That was amazing. Whatever this rare magic potion, I do not think that is being widely used in recent years.

  • Banapple Gas! ; )

  • Cool, on the target.

  • @Carlonepapa well times were different then,now theres a whole culture of people who turn 18 get pregnant go on welfare,then their kids do the same ,and their kids do the same,and pretty soon there is 'zero' werk ethic in their bodies or even DNA,Elton comes from generations of hard werkin` folk ya know? they do sumthin ` evryday!

  • Pure, uncut, awesome. That's what.

  • both highly accomplished at the time to produce what would have been an undeniable hit.

  • elton john and cat stevens?

    I had no idea about this, thanks for the upload.

  • To those who apparently are so ignorant, to prodigy talent. You insult Elton with your insignificant commnet. Why would an artist join with another icon? You apparently, are just another simpleton!

  • Actually Elton isn't offended at all. He realizes people are people and they have opinions.

  • Cat stevens a great songwriter music and lyrics.Elton compose just music and never lyrics.Two great performers.

  • that has got to be the scariest photo of a man i ever saw !! It will give me nightmares tonight !!

  • Elton John at the height of his stage craziness:  he looks like a Batman villain in that photo.

  • Cat and Elton were and are great artists in their own right. Try to keep sexual orientation and religion out of this, they seemed to be able to do it!

  • @windnchgo the irony of this song is funny.

  • @windnchgo - yup!!!

  • Where I can find this track ???

  • google it. I think its in one of Cat stevens box sets.

  • sir elton john is one of the biggest selling artist of all time. even to this day his show sell out in hours. he is the only artist to have a top 40 hit for 40 years straight. he is a compassionate man who give to charity and helps people everyday with his message of hope and love. all the malcontents you spew will never change the facts. malice never wins.

  • i think eltohn john is a good artist but cat stevens is way beter. just personel taste

  • idiot

  • One of these is a legend - its not Elton

  • although Elton John was quite good at this point

  • Absolutely!

  • Oh lord. Yes, Yusuf Islam is still active...performing and writing, just not in the US.

    You sound uneducated that's for sure. 'muzzie'...lord, go read a book.

  • In what way is elton better? Just sitting on a piano singing gay songs. HE doesnt have Cat Stevens' energy, passion or voice. If Cat Stevens continued singing every single person would say Cat Stevens was better. Just because Cat stevens stopped 3 decades ago not many people know him anymore. But Cat stevens is the best arstist of that time.

  • I didn't know that Elton and Cat recorded something together. A rare treat! Thanks for sharing.

  • cat stevens is better then eltonjon thruout the whole 70s better lyrics better melody which he wrote and made himself all his songs r better n powerfull. and in the 70s everybody knew cat was better . but since cat did his thing n elton stayed wit da buisness everybodys gonna pick elton now

  • Interesting sound.

    * When was Cat ever bigger than Elt? With what song(s) and in what year(s)?

  • As a fan of both, Elton was THE MAN from 1969-75. He was blindsided by fame, as many musicians have been to their ruin. Cat was the acoustic MAN from 1973-79; his label said he could sell out the Gardens for a week without a new release! I'd say they were both the best in differing genres- Elton moving towards hard & glam rock on piano, Cat remaining acoustic guitar.

  • whoa -- never heard THIS one before now. strange, but good.

  • Good song, they sound good together

  • Considering that at one point Cat Stevens was bigger than Elton John. Its a shame Cat Stevens quit music in 1979.

    Would be interesting to see what he came up in that time period. Before his return to pop music in 2006 almost a 30 year period.

  • Love it! Thanks for posting this.

  • A Cat Stevens and Elton John duo is a sitcom waiting to happen. lol.

  • nice pix!!

  • it's really good!

  • This is from the Cat Stevens box set. It wasn't released at the time it was recorded in the early 70s, because the two of them were on different labels (Island and DJM in the UK and A&M and MCA in the U.S.) and a deal couldn't be worked out.

  • great song. anyone know who wrote it (elton or cat)?

  • cat stevns did :]

  • thank u maryam5 :)
