Trackers:

Before Cat Stevens changed his name to Yusef Islam, he had a slew of hits built around his
soft, yet sometimes coarse, vocals. Stevens utilized a variety of instrumentation and rhythms
in his predominantly acoustic arrangements, and songs like "Peace Train," and "Another
Saturday Night" had a multi-cultural feel to them. Greatest Hits provides a decent overview
of his more popular work, including the poignant "Oh Very Young" and "Father & Son."
Unfortunately, the delightful yet brief "Tea for the Tillerman" is not present. The lovely
"Morning Has Broken" has elements of Stevens's growing concern with religion, philosophy,
and the relationship between the cerebral and the spiritual. In the early 1980s, Stevens, now
Yusef, "retired" from the music profession because of his new beliefs. --Steve Gdula (courtesy
