KCRW to broadcast first Yusuf Performance in 30 years

It has been over thirty years since legendary singer-songwriter Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) performed in the United States. All that will change next Saturday when Santa Monica's KCRW airs an episode of Morning Becomes Eclectic featuring the legendary folk icon.

Originally, the live session was recorded on December 19, 2006 at an invitation-only event in New York City. The performance then aired two days later on KCRW. Additionally, the version set to broadcast on April 21 was remixed by Yusuf himself.

To tune in next weekend, head on over to KCRW.com and click "Live" for full streaming capabilities.
