Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:

His money is going to charities, all right - Unicef is one, but other ones are under investigation by those trying to prevent funding ...

I decided it was time to get my own. The music is timeless and always a croud favorite. If you don't have this for your collection, you're missing out. Rating: - Truly his greatest hitsCat Stevens is a folk rock icon. His songwriting skills, his music, and his voice are all truly definitive. This classic CD, 'Greatest Hits,' features all of hits. So how does his arguably best collection measure up? Positives -All of the major hits appear here. 'Wild World,' 'Peace Train,' 'Sitting' and 'Hard Headed Woman' all appear here for your listening pleasure. -Hats off to A&M. The sound quality is excellent! Negatives -I would like ...
