1. I love my Dog
Sung by : Cat Stevens
Album : Matthew & Son (1966)
1 I love my dog as much as I love you
2 But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
3 All he asks from me is the food to give him strength
4 All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get
5 So, I love my dog as much as I love you
6 But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
7 All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes
8 I don't need no cold water to make me realize that
9 I love my dog as much as I love you
10 But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
11 Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...
12 I love my dog as much as I love you
13 But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
14 Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...
Yusuf Islam[2] (Arabic: ‫( ) يوسف إسل م‬born Steven Demetre Georgiou on 21 July 1948 in London), who was
known as Cat Stevens from 1966 to 1978, is an English musician, singer-songwriter, educator,
philanthropist and prominent convert to Islam.
Under the name "Cat Stevens", he has sold over 60 million albums around the world since the late 1960s.
His albums Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat were both certified by the RIAA as having
achieved Triple Platinum status in the United States (three million sales each); his album Catch Bull at Four
sold half a million copies in the first two weeks of release and was Billboard's number-one LP for three
consecutive weeks. His songwriting has also earned him two ASCAP songwriting awards (for "The First
Cut Is the Deepest", which has been a hit single for four different artists.)
At the height of his fame, in 1977, Stevens converted to Islam. In 1978, he adopted the name Yusuf Islam,
leaving his music career to devote himself to educational and philanthropic causes in the Muslim
community. As a high-profile voice for Islam, he caused controversy in 1989 with public statements [3] that
were widely interpreted as support for the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, an interpretation which he has
denied. In 2006, he returned to pop music, with his first album of new pop songs in 28 years, entitled An
Other Cup.
He has been given several awards for his work in promoting peace in the world, including the 2004 Man for
Peace award and the 2007 Mediterranean Prize for Peace. He lives with his wife, Fauzia Mubarak Ali, and
five children in Brondesbury Park, London, and spends part of each year in Dubai.[4]
