Few artists have the the storied and controversial history of Cat Stevens. One of the most prolific and popular artists of the '70s, he would release an astonishing 11 albums in just over a decade, including the worldwide hits Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat. But by the late-'70s Stevens converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, renouncing his music career for nearly three decades. He would return to performing in the '90s as a spoken word artist, reintegrating music and instruments into his performances and even releasing new music.
