"Morning Has Broken" is a Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan" But sure, Cat Stevens made it popular.

Thanks for this reaction. It brought back a lot of memories. "Tea For The Tillerman" was one of the first albums I ever bought with my own money as an economically disadvantaged 14 year old. I also saw Yes in concert in LA in 1980, and I can personally testify to the fact that Rick Wakeman is most definitely THE keyboard wizard.

One of my all time life favrite albums. If you liked Simon and Garfunkel I think you'd like more Cat Stevens. I've seem him live, a couple of years ago in NYC, mesmerizing.

a poem for you about morning -- The Valley's Singing Day THE sound of the closing outside door was all. You made no sound in the grass with your footfall, As far as you went from the door, which was not far; But you had awakened under the morning star The first song-bird that awakened all the rest. He could have slept but a moment more at best. Already determined dawn began to lay In place across a cloud the slender ray For prying beneath and forcing the lids of sight, And loosing the pent-up music of over-night. But dawn was not to begin their "pearly-pearly" (By which they mean the rain is pearls so early, Before it changes to diamonds in the sun), Neither was song that day to be self-begun. You had begun it, and if there needed proof-- I was asleep still under the dripping roof, My window curtain hung over the sill to wet; But I should awake to confirm your story yet; I should be willing to say and help you say That once you had opened the valley's singing day. - Robert Frost

The whole album is great. So is the album "Teaser & The Firecat". He has had so many great songs in his career such as "Matthew & Son", "The First Cut Is The Deepest", "Wild World", "Moonshadow", "Peace Train" etc. He is still recording & performing live & his voice still sounds great.
