Yusuf Islam (Steven Demetre Georgiou, in Marylebone, London, England),originally and commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is an English musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, educator and philanthropist. His early 1970s record albums Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat were both certified as Triple Platinum by the RIAA in the United States. Teaser and the Firecat is an album released by Cat Stevens in 1971. It contains 10 songs including hits such as "Morning Has Broken," "Moonshadow," and "Peace Train." It is also the title of a children's book written and illustrated by Cat Stevens. The story features the title characters from the album cover, top-hatted young Teaser and his pet Firecat, who attempt to put the moon back in its place after it falls from the sky. Published in 1972, the book has been out of print since the mid-1970s. The album was a commercial success, surpassing the heights achieved by Stevens' previous album, Tea for the Tillerman, reaching both the UK and US Top 3 and also spending an impressive fifteen weeks at the top of the Australian charts, becoming the biggest-selling album of the country in 1972. 01 - The Wind 02 - Rubylove 03 - If I Laugh 04 - Changes Iv 05 - How Can I Tell You 06 - Tuesday's Dead 07 - Morning Has Broken 08 - Bitterblue 09 - Moonshadow 10 - Peace Train LINK
