🌟 Why Cat Still Resonates
• His visionary 1970s records Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat went triple-platinum, transforming folk-rock forever. 
• After converting to Islam in 1977, he paused his pop career to focus on humanitarian causes and religious education—but returned triumphantly in 2006. 
• In 2023 he released King of a Land, and now headlines an intimate North American “Cat on The Road to Findout” memoir tour launching October 7 at the Beacon Theatre. 
• Mentored by greats and praised by stars from Paul McCartney to Dolly Parton, his legacy blends personal truth with universal impact.
