I’ve been a huge fan of Cat Stevens since 1970. I have so much respect for Yusuf Islam. He just gets better and better.

Cat Stevens one of the best voices to ever grace the music scene. Profound lyrics, Poet Spiritual, Legend. Sounds as good as he did 40 years ago. Well deserved!

[johnskiotis]

This was so much more than the average Hall of Fame ceremony, a generation got to welcome back a beloved voice.

This guy is like a living time capsule. Such an unbelievable artist in his heyday…and then poof…he was gone. Unlike Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, and Jim Croce, he didn’t die…he just vanished. To have him back is really such a blessing. He gave voice to a generation to find themselves when the world was just as complicated in it’s own way as it is now. Can’t thank him enough for coming back and renewing the spirit he generated. So profound and touching is his presence. He exudes peace and hopefulness. God Bless you Yusuf/Cat!!

Cat Stevens was all over our radar in the early 70's, he was it back then! My jr
High School years were filled with Cats voice. Love him still! ❤

[Ponchiegomezsaso]

I have tears watching this today, I did not expect that, he still moves me so deeply. Yusuf is the most loved song writer of our generation with a heart of gold, a beautiful voice that pierces my heart and the debts of my soul. He lifts me up above the cold world and takes me to where only love exists 💗

[ArtFernandez]

This is a very, very, special human being.

[jackal]

Cat/Yusef's voice hasn't changed a bit. One of the greatest voices of my childhood.

[eyupnail]

It's just amazing how he can make everyone smile broadly and have a good time. He really does spread peace to souls of people around him and to the world.

I remember when Yusuf quit music at the height of fame, etc., I have come to understand the profound dedication and transition of his life in the discovery of Islam. With much respect.

[JohnSmith-ellk]

I can't think of a music artist more worthy/deserving of this award. "Cat" is the man !

[GunRock]

I can't help but notice the juxtaposition on "Father and Son" ... and it makes me think, where did the time fly?
When he made it a hit record he was the son in that song, but when he sang it at this award ceremony he was the father.

[marylou]

As is his humble ways, Yusuf thanks himself as Cat, his father and 'Morning Has Broken' tribute his mother - his first love - I love this man and all he stands for. Music IS the great PEACEMAKER and BOND shared by all, I believe. Salaam to all. Hail to our Yusuf! Thank you dear kind gentle heart for all the love and peace and bonding you have given to the world.

I was driving in our car when my daughter at 5 years old looked at me and Daddy, is there only one road to get back home? I said " no sweetheart, there are many"...she put her finger to her chin and said " Daddy, I think that is like religion and GOD....there are many roads to get to GOD...right? I pulled over and cried while hugging her! I said, yes that is correct!
Honesty from a child is as pure, is good and full of Love!
Let us all....Christianity, Judaism, Islam embrace and go forward together with Love. Is not that what GOD wants from us....to Love each other.

[mollywoolsey]

I can’t imagine my teenage years, without Cat Stevens. Thank you Yusaf❤

[mchristhomas]

A thoroughly decent and kind human. Has anyone deserved this award more?

[suzannesmith]

72 years young and still going strong. God Love him!
