Sunday February 14, 2021 “How Can I Tell You” Cat Stevens
OK just one more Valentine song...kind of.
Born Steven Demetre Georgiou, he took the stage name Cat Stevens when he released his first single, "I Love My Dog," at 18. Stevens explained about his stage name: "My girlfriend at that time said to me one day, 'You look so much like a cat.' That kind of stuck. At the same time there were films around like What's New Pussycat? and Cat Ballou."
"So, yeah, it just stuck and then I just kept my first name, Steven and tagged Cat on to it." Those who knew him continued to call him "Steve" at his request.
The Tremeloes' 1967 top twenty hit "Here Comes My Baby" was written by Stevens and included on his album/CD Matthew & Son which was recorded after The Tremeloes version released.
Stay safe and well...and enjoy this lovely live performance and the fine work of Cat Stevens guitar accompanist. Happy Valentine's Day.
