Hmmm...that's exactly where I met Cat Stevens...on a backroad behind the stage...Majikat tour...1976...C79...I'll never, never forget that time!!! LOL I was bold walking right up to him to introduce myself, I moved so fast from the spot I was standing in by the door, I had to turn and look to see if I was still standing there!..I was a little shy too..Oh very young I was... He probably doesn't remember me, but I'll never, never forget... <3 :) Later!
Jean Roussel, Alun Davies, such a gathering of talent... saw them under the stars at the Waikiki Shell in '74... one of the best concerts of my life and I saw them all during that era... Hendrix, Doors, Janis, Blind Faith, Dylan, Cocker, LedZep, Marvin, Elton, on and on... you could not touch Cat Stevens for musical excellence... what a night of music.
As I just wrote on my Facebook wall where I just published it, my exact favourite song on the Buddha album since I first got my vinyl copy from Brazil in 1974. Only KING OF TREES makes me doubt. Great addition and an inmortal song from the classic CS era.
hay mis comentarios son en español, pero es lo mas grande que escucho y escuchare. lo lleve a la guerra , no se quien ha encontrado esos casettes,los deje en mi posicion, me gustaria ponerme en comunicacion, con quien los encontro. monte williams islas malvinas o faldklans. unas islas del atlantico sur.
Amazing how this song was planted in my brain in 1979 and I remember every word even though I have not thought of it or heard it since 1980 when my turntable broke on the way to University.
Brings me right back to fabulous times. Thank you so much! I was a strange child in Dublin in the 70's!- Got into Cat back then.Now near 40 and still adore him. Big thumbs up.
My all time fave of yusuf during the cat era is father from back to earth, but buddha and the choc box was the first album I bought by him! so SUN has a special place, good moog work on this
I used to have this album too. There is no one who can compare with Cat Stevens. The album is still in my apartment I can't get rid of it even though I have no record player, Cat Stevens - his music is burned into my memory. His musicians have always been part and parcel of his craft, it all came together so perfectly. It was just meant to be
"Sun C-79" is one of my favorite songs by Cat Stevens. I used to play this one song over and over. Thought the synth sounds were real cool. It's a bit dated now, but it's still a great song, dated synthesizer lines and all. I haven't listened to this song in over 30 years. Brings back really nice memories.
I adored this album. Every song. The album cover was so sweet. Little chocolate Buddhas wrapped in gold foil, and a colorful comic on the back. Look up the title in an image search and keep scrolling until you see both the front, back, and insert. It is worth the look.
this is one of three albums I've never heard of Cat. The other two being Numbers and Foreigner. I've heard assorted songs off of all three, but how are the actual albums? My favorite album is still Mona Bone Jakon.
Great song/album thx
