posts against the guy. I find it hard to believe someone who wrote these songs would be plotting to blow us up. Is this some kind of vendetta against 60's Folks? Are we now going after Carly Simon and James Taylor and Simon and Garfinkle because the same folks who bought Stevens on AMAZON bought Simon and Taylor and the rest....Who is next?

1. Wild World
2. Oh Very Young
3. Can't Keep It In
4. Hard Headed Woman
5. Moonshadow
6. Two Fine People
7. Peace Train
8. Ready
9. Father and Son
10. Sitting
11. Morning Has Broken
12. Another Saturday Night

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 --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
