Moonshadow - Cat Stevens (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Moonshadow (Cat Stevens, 1971). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2021-04-23. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"
Cat Stevens was born Steven Demetre Georgiou in 1948, changed to his stage name in 1966 to Cat Stevens, and again changed his name in 1979 to Yusuf Islam when he converted to the Muslim faith (songfacts.com, 2021; Whitburn, 2013). "Moonshadow" was Cat Stevens' second top 40 hit. The song reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1971 (Whitburn, 2013). In an interview on the Today Show with Richard Wilkins, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) told the story about how he came to write Moonshadow (31 May 2012). "When I took a holiday once to Spain, um, I was out there alone on the rocks, kind of midnight and the moon was shinning full. All of a sudden I looked down and went, 'What!' I thought, my shadow. Moon shadow. It was the first time I realized that the moon casted a shadow. . . . that was news. So, then I wrote the song." As a side note, "Moonshadow" is listed with this spelling on his album release "Teaser And The Firecat;" however, the song is printed as "Mood Shadow" on the US and UK 45 single releases (Wikipedia, 2021).
