| | MusicWorld Feature: Cat Stevens: A Legacy of Lasting Favorites |
 | | But his songs transcend all of that, as lasting favorites that continue to resonate in his own recordings and numerous cover versions. |
 | | The list of others who have performed songs written by Stevens is as diverse as the modern music scene itself: Pearl Jam, Wayne Newton, Sarah McLachlan, Johnny Cash, Patti Labelle, The Mavericks, Gilberto Gil, New Order, Floyd Cramer, Yo La Tengo and Elton John, to name but a few. |
 | | Songs from his debut album, Matthew and Son, made him a U.K. pop star while a hit version of "There Goes My Baby" by The Tremeloes began his decades-long string of high profile covers. |
