I think you`ll find he`s English you muppet.If he WAS American he would not have been denied access TO America recently due to idiot Customs officials seeing the name Yussef Islaam and a report alleging he was fomenting racial hatred.
Yes he converted to Islam ,yes he changed his name BUT he was and remains a peace-loving man who made great NON-Rock records.

Wouldn't know about him reciting the Quran, but he did some awesome music way back. Like *Father and Son*, *Oh Very Young*, *Morning Has Broken* and others.
Sis loved him (she's 13 years my senior) and I still play his songs from the time before he got all screwed up and became a Muslim.

I have all his albums from before his conversion, awesome musician and song writer, and his voice is very unique. Have not heard him since but would like to, as I am sure he is still wonderful, I just have not had the opportunity to listen to anything he has done lately. I still listen to the albums pretty often.
ps - it was Peace Train, not Soul Train.

Yes, he is. I have his Very Best Of cd and I love it. He was interviewed right after 9/11 and they got him to sing part of Peace Train. it was very moving b/c he hadn't sung any of his songs in many years, since he converted to Islam.

He was good back in the 70s too (prior to his conversion).

Yes. He is a former American rock star. I don't believe he performs any longer though. You can probably still buy CDs with his music though.

Harold and Maude is one of my favorite movies.
He did all the music for it.
