From Cat Stevens to Yusuf Islam


BBC News Online profiles the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens, whose Islamic beliefs have landed him in trouble with the American authorities. As folk musician Cat Stevens he had a string of hits in the 1960s and 1970s, including such contemporary classics as Moon Shadow, Peace Train and Morning Has Broken.

But since his conversion to Islam in 1977, the artist now known as Yusuf Islam has taken a different path.
