Yusuf Islam is celebrating his 65th birthday today.

Back in the '70's we knew him as CAT STEVENS and he was one of my very favorite singers.  He recorded a song called "If you want to be free" that I just love and it was used as the title tune for, probably, my most favorite movie of all time, "HAROLD AND MAUDE".  I've lost count of how many times I've seen that movie or listened to that song.
