biz.yahoo.com Monday October 22, 6:02 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Universal Music Enterprises Cat Stevens Returns to Pop Spotlight After 20 Years LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Yusuf Islam, best known as Cat Stevens, who gave up his successful pop-star life more than 20 years ago contributed to The Concert for New York City (Saturday, Oct 20) by singing a special a cappella version of his hit song ``Peace Train.'' Yusuf Islam has not picked up a guitar or sung any of his Cat Stevens music since retiring from the music world and entering Islam in 1977. Many fans were surprised when he retired at the height of his career and popularity, assumed a new name, Yusuf Islam. He instead began devoting his life to raising a family, working with various children's charities and establishing the first government funded school for Muslim children in Britain. Said Islam, ``After the tragedy, my heart was heavy with sadness and shock, and I was determined to help in some way. Organizers asked me to take part in a message for tolerance and sing 'Peace Train.' Of course, I agreed.'' Continues Islam, ``As a Muslim from the West, it is important to me to let people know that these acts of mass murder have nothing to do with Islam and the beliefs of Muslims.'' For more than 20 years, the royalties from his music catalogue have supported various humanitarian causes -- including his charity Small Kindness -- which has helped thousands of orphans and destitute families most recently in Kosovo and Bosnia. Yusuf Islam is also donating the royalties from his upcoming U.S. Cat Stevens Box Set to charity, with 50% going to the September 11th Fund to help victims, their families, and communities affected by the recent terrorist attacks; the remainder will go to orphans and homeless families in underdeveloped countries.
