Simon Baffled By Cat Stevens Call
Stevens, who changed his name to Yusaf Islam when he converted to the Muslim faith in 1977, called Simon, 62, to wish her a happy birthday - but gave her his newly adopted title.
She recalls, "The voice said, 'Hello, Carly, this is Yusef Islam.' And I said, 'I'm sorry, I don't know anyone by that name' and hung up.
"He called back and said the same thing, so I hung up again. Later in the day, he called again and this time he relinquished his name and said, 'Carly, it's Cat Stevens.' And I said, 'Oh, it's you, I love you!'"
