Cat Stevens (born Steven Demetre Georgiou on 21st July 1948, and now named Yusuf Islam) is best known for his work as a popular British singer-songwriter, although born and raised by a Cypriot father and a Swedish mother. At the outset of his musical career, Georgiou adopted the stage name "Cat Stevens", under which name he sold forty million albums, mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. Stevens became a convert to Islam in 1978 after a near-death experience. |
