appearance on her father's ABC-TV variety series, but initially achieved
success only in Europe and Japan. In early 1966 she had a transatlanticnumber-one hit with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". A

Between early 1966 and early 1968, Sinatra
charted on Billboard's Hot 100with 14 titles, ten of which reached the Top 40. In addition to
"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", defining recordings during this
period include "Sugar Town",
"Love Eyes", the transatlantic 1967 number one "Somethin' Stupid" (a
duet with her father), two versions of the title
songfrom the James Bondfilm You Only Live
Twice(1967), several collaborations with Lee Hazlewood–
including "Summer Wine",
"Jackson",
"Lady Bird" and "Some Velvet
Morning" – and a non-single 1966 cover of the Cherhit "Bang Bang (My
Baby Shot Me Down)", which features in the
opening credits of Quentin Tarantino's 2003
film Kill Bill Volume 1.
In 1971 Sinatra and Hazlewood achieved their first collaborative success in the
UK singles chart with the nº 2 hit "Did You Ever?", and the 2005 UK nº
3 hit by Audio Bullys, "Shot You Down",

Between 1964 and 1968 Sinatra appeared in
several feature films, co-starring with Peter Fondain Roger Corman's
biker-gang movie The Wild Angels(1966)
and alongside Elvis Presleyin the musical drama Speedway(1968).

And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling,
stand by me
Oh stand by me

If the sky we look
upon
Should tumble and fall
Oh and the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh darling, darling,
stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand

Yusuf Islam(born Steven Demetre Georgiou; 21
July 1948), commonly known by his stage names Cat Stevens, Yusuf, and Yusuf/Cat
Stevens, is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His musical
style consists of folk, pop,
rock, and, later in his career, Islamic music.
He returned to making secular music in 2006. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Famein 2014.
His 1967 debut albumand its title song "Matthew and Son"
both reached top ten in the UK charts. Stevens' albums Tea for the
Tillerman(1970) and Teaser and
the Firecat(1971) were certified triple platinumin the US. His 1972 album Catch Bull at Fourwent to Nº1 on Billboard Pop Albums and spent weeks at the top of
several major charts. He earned ASCAPsongwriting
awards in 2005 and 2006 for "The First Cut
Is the Deepest", which has been a hit for
four artists. His other hit songs include "Father and
Son", "Wild World",
"Moonshadow",
"Peace Train",
and "Morning Has Broken".
In December 1977, Stevens convertedto Islamand adopted the
name Yusuf Islam the following year. In 1979, he auctioned all of his guitars
for charity, and left his musical career to devote himself to educational and
philanthropic causes in the Muslim community.
He has since bought back at least one of these guitars as a result of the
efforts of his son Yoriyos. He was embroiled in a long-running controversy
regarding comments he made in 1989about the death fatwaon author Salman Rushdie.
His current stance
is that he never supported the fatwa: "I was cleverly framed by certain
questions. I never supported the fatwa." He has received two
honorary doctorates and awards for promoting peace as well as other
humanitarian awards.
In 2006, he returned to pop music by
releasing his first new studio album of new pop songs in 28 years, entitled An Other Cup. With
that release and subsequent ones, he dropped the surname "Islam" from
the album cover art – using the stage name Yusuf as a mononym. In 2009,
he released the album Roadsingerand, in
2014, he released the album Tell 'Em I'm Goneand began his first US tour since 1978. His second North American
tour since his resurgence, featuring 12 shows in intimate venues, ran from 12
September to 7 October 2016. In 2017, he released the album The Laughing Apple,
now using the stage name Yusuf/Cat Stevens, using the Cat Stevens name for the
first time in 39 years. In September 2020, he released Tea for the
Tillerman 2, a reimagining of his classic
album Tea for the Tillerman to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
Teaser and the Firecat is the fifth studio
album by Cat Stevens,
released in October 1971. English keyboardist Rick Wakemanplayed
piano on "Morning Has Broken"
and English musician Linda Lewisalso
contributed vocals on "How Can I Tell You".
