Yusuf Islam a.k.a cat Stevens in Dubai
In May this year I travelled to London and attended an evening of remembrance of the Prophet Muhammad, and at the event Yusuf Islam showed up unexpectedly and a video was played where he pulled out his guitar on stage which he had left in the closet for nearly 20 years and sang what was to me the most beautiful version of the old Arabic song "Tala' al badru 3aleyna" (the white moon rose over us).
A song that was sung by the people of Medina upon the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad to the city.
I have searched for the video on the net and today by chance I stumbled upon it, here it is, from his live performance in Dubai earlier this year.
