Description
Having grown up above his parents cafe in the heart of Londons West End, Cat Stevens emerged from the folk club scene to release his debut album, Matthew & Son, in 1967 on the newly established Deram label, a subsidiary of Decca. It reached number 7 in the UK charts and supported by the singles I Love My Dog and Matthew & Son the latter reaching number 2 in the UK charts elevated him to the status of a teen idol. Simultaneously, Cats songs were being recorded by other artists such as The Tremoloes who had a hit with Here Comes My Baby, also in 1967, which helped to establish his reputation as a truly gifted songwriter.
