Cat Stevens/Yusuf never recorded "Cats in the Cradle". The original recording by Harry Chapin was often miscredited to Stevens on filesharing sites in the 2000s.[1]Last.FmI've given up convincing some guy at work that "The Cats in the Cradle" is Harry Chapin -- did Cat Stevens ever sing it? I found two You Tubes saying that, but it's Harry Chapin! The 2nd video was so wrong because it's got pictures of Cat Stevens in it. Idiots!!
Yusuf did perform "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", a song made famous in the 60s by The Animals, I Don't blame him for performing it either because it's such a great song Musically and Lyrically, just a shame the Song Writer(s) are unknown.Cat Stevens/Yusuf never recorded "Cats in the Cradle".
