2019? You were in my Hall of Fame back in 1970. Glad the stupid people finally caught up (ha-ha).

🙏🏼👏🏼💕✨genius!!! Congratulations!!!!

🥀Beautiful🥀This is so Amazing every single word every lyric it's so much I'd like to say but kinda lost for words. Yusuf speech was beautiful his words of wisdom of his journey back from all that happened to him for years and almost lost his life only God knows why this happened and yet I feel like if he hadn't of gone through it all he'd not be here today. I've listened to his song's from the 70s on up I was young but my parents and my sister's we all grew up listening to his music and I've loved and had the up most respect for him over the years. God Bless you Yusuf your music will live on through my Children and Grandchildren as well. My Family love's you. Congratulations on your dreams coming true. 🥀☝️🥀✌

This really touched my heart. You are a wonderful person Yusuf! I loved your music when I was young and still love everything you are doing now 💜

His voice is still melodic especially at this age.

I'm glad that some of my fave singers are still alive. Father and son is one of my fave song. 60's, 70's and 80's musics are the best. Here in the Philippines radios here play these kind of songs every Sunday.

Thank You Yusuf Islam. What an amazing human. What an amazing journey. I learnt something beautiful from yet again in this acceptance speech .... "I saw it as an opportunity" What a brilliantly beautiful way to look at our lives and possible challenges. Peace to you..

Grande CAT STEVENS gli ho fatto omaggio con una mia versione

Excelente Cantante y muy bonita música...!
Cats Stevens muy lindos Recuerdos al escuchar esa musica de los años 70s.

Cat Stevens songs inspired by God!

Thank you Yusufcum:)

Peace be with you 🌄✨

He never lost his feeling for writing songs like his first time. I love his way to write music and I understand more and more what he want to say. English is not my first language, but I learned a lot of good music of this language.

💥💥💥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Leonard Cohen and Yusuf two humble and endless souls have been my teachers for 50 years. Thank you to a Jew and a Muslim from an agnostic.

I wish that he had thanked his wife.

Needs an Educational award too .He has not finished yet as eternally & internationally relevant !He as an interesting multicultural heritage I believe Cypriot & Swedish & London !

La voix de Cat Stevens est unique..Yusuf est inimitable...

Im crying...so many memories and so thankful. God bless you Yusuf/Cat. I love you.

Perfection!

Why make a big production of this special moment? Just make it Mr. Islam, his guitar, his passion and Allah. Simple is best. ✌

🥀Amazing stories about how he had to fight for his life to two major illness TB & nearly drowning wow that was part of a testament to where he is today. Dave was really phenomenal singing his song Father and Son he aced it sounded so close to Yusuf they have the same vocal range..Thank you Dave for that beautiful Song! Yusuf your music is so powerful and so gently sung with soothing voice with each word. God Bless you and your family Stay Gold!🥀✌🥀✌☝️🥀

Sorry not a fan of Dave Matthews, but I absolutely LOVE you Yusef. ❤❤ You're a true legend!!!

I love this song. Small but mighty.

I just can't wrap my brain around Cat Stevens getting sucked up by such a gross way of thinking. I don't think I can call it a religion because of human rights atrocities.

Wish to marry you in heaven yusuf inshaa ALLAH

Good morning cat.
I think Bros wrote a song about you.
Lol

How ever Cat was able to create such beautiful words and melody?

" Dave Matthews"?

💕😘👸

Maşaallah. Her zaman ki gibi...

Such a beautiful tribute to the great cat Stevens 🐈 ❤️❤️

jeepers, dave mathews father and son is beautiful
so proud to be south african … african
roots are roots,
waaaatcha gunna do …!

I love Dave Matthews. He is so wonderfully awkward. I suspect he has an autism spectrum disorder.

Just finding this sent it to my daughter

God Bless this man 🙏

It's sweet how nervous Dave was. Anyone who loved music so much as a child can relate. I sure can. I had never heard anything like Cat Stevens and still haven't.

Q Allah prenne soin de lui ❤❤❤❤❤🤲🤲🤲🙏🏼❤❤❤

An award so well deserved. Dave did Father and Son very well. My favorite song by Yusuf/Cat Stevens. I have been a fan for decades and still am. It's almost 2024 and i have just found this. He's always been one of a few i can say are my favorite songwriters, but i know there are many. Congrats even though really late Cat, much deserved.

All of my children and grandchildren heard and loved “Moonshadow,” as a lullaby. I love this artist and his work. It was so personal and that made it feel that it was written just for me, and everyone who hears him feels exactly that way. All these years after first hearing them, his music does not sound dated or irrelevant. That is true artistry.

Fantástico!!

🎉 Master God Bless you olways 🎉

A legend!

The hug was so heartfelt n dave giving the award just the cutest 😅❤😊😊❤❤

This song always reminds me to my Dad,

Although we know the road Yusuf has ridden it was a great pleasure to hear about it through both magnificent speeches from their humble souls. God bless them!
