Cat Stevens Records Song for Hamas
Here’s Yusuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, with another new song supporting Hamas.
JERUSALEM (AFP) – Singer-songwriter Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, released on Sunday a charity song whose proceeds will go towards assisting Palestinians in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.
The new recording of the song ‘The day the world gets round’, originally recorded by George Harrison, features Yusuf on vocals and Klaus Voorman, known to many as the fifth Beatle, on bass.
The song can be dowloaded online at different rates and its proceeds will go towards the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and Save the Children to aid children and families in the Gaza Strip, UNRWA said in a statement.
Yusuf said on his website he hoped the recording will “help remind people of the immense legacy of love, peace and happiness we can share when we get round to looking at mankind’s futile wars and prejudices.”
“Oh … and death to Israel!” Yusuf didn’t add, but he might as well have.
