English singer-songwriter Yusuf Islam emerged as a global star during the 1970s when he recorded as Cat Stevens, selling over 60 million albums showcasing his gentle, melodic folk rock. In 1978 at the height of his critical and popular acclaim, he converted to Islam and left his music career behind to focus on education and philanthropy in the Muslim community. In 2006, he returned with his first new album in 28 years, "An Other Cup."
