During the three weeks he spent in hospital recuperating, he began writing songs far different from the simple pop songs he'd been performing as a teen. Those songs would eventually form the backbone of Mona Bone Jakon, the first of Stevens' eight consecutive gold albums for A&M. The album featured tracks such as Lady D'Arbanville, Trouble and Katmandu, and also earned him underground fame in the US. Later that year came Tea For The Tillerman, which has become one of the all-time classic folk/ pop albums. Best known for its songs Wild World, Hard Headed Woman, Where Do The Children Play? and Father And Son, the album also contains lesser- known but equally resonant songs such as Into White and Sad Lisa. Stevens next album, 1972's , offered more classic hits with the songs Morning Has Broken, Peace Train, Moonshadow and The Wind. Despite his ongoing success throughout the decade, in 1978 Cat Stevens converted to Islam, changing his name to Yusuf Islam, and withdrawing from the public eye. He has not released apop album since.

Still, if the reaction of said radio station is any indication, Lawson could be in for some good things in the not too distant future. Lawson is pure pop. in the same way that Backstreet Boys or *NJ Sync are pure pop, and finding aCanadian pop artist who doesn't sing over-the-top ballads or mournful, angst- ridden soft-rock is ararity these days. Lawson's aToronto native who did all the right things in her youth, including attending the Etobicoke School of The Arts and Humber College's THE CARSON DOWNEY BAND -Rock All The Way acclaimed jazz program, and studying under Loggerhead-76974 2194-J several top vocal coaches.
