Video #5: Yusuf Islam (who?)
Day 3 of the Videos Everyone Should see at Least Once Series brings a different kind of twist from the usual indie-rock fare. One of my favorite older artists, and an unusual and intriguing character to say the least - Yusuf Islam, or the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens. I only knew bits and pieces of this interesting man's life. I cannot do his life justice in my words, so I've attached a couple of links so you might learn more on your own. A religious convert, educator, philanthropist, and one helluva musician. The video? My favorite of all of his songs...Father and Son. It always seems to get a little dusty in the room when i hear it. Sung on BBC sometime around 2007 I believe. Enjoy
