Cat Stevens biography, Cat Stevens discography
Cat Stevens, born Steve Georgiou in London, England, July 21, 1947, was the son of a Greek father and a Swedish mother.People close to him during his career always referred to him as Steve, not Cat.Much of Cat Stevens' success came in the '70s, but his music career began years earlier, when he landed his first hit in England before he turned 20 with the song "I Love My Dog."He had even more success with other songs from that album, namely the title track, which hit No.Another song, "Here Comes My Baby," became a hit for The Tremeloes, and the album itself landed in the Top 10.Although that effort did not reap as many rewards, one track, "Kitty," managed to wedge into the Top 50.Arnold took another of the album's songs, "The First Cut Is the Deepest," to the Top 20, a song that later became a hit for Rod Stewart.Just a year after both albums were released, Stevens was felled by tuberculosis and took a couple of years off from music."Tea for the Tillerman", that made him an international success."Teaser and the Firecat", released in 1971, did even better, including the hits "Peace Train" and "Morning Has Broken."Cat Stevens made his final performance at the 1979 UNICEF Benefit concert, where he appeared as Yusuf Islam,
