*Lyrics excerpt* - "Oh, very young.... What will you leave us this time?.... You're only dancing on this earth for a short time.... Oh, very young.... What will you leave us this time?" Back in the days when Cat Stevens was still "Cat Stevens" (before his name change to Yusuf Islam, etc., etc.), I really liked a number of the songs that he wrote and performed. To me, Stevens' easy-listening, folk-rock sound and his thoughtful lyrics were certainly a much-welcome change of pace from the usual heavy-metal rock'n'roll tunes that often dominated the airwaves in those somewhat turbulent years between 1968-1976. This CD contains 20 of Cat Stevens' most memorable songs from a yesterday that has long since faded away into pop music history.
