Yes, and it was Rick Wakeman's piano (as a studio musician) that made that song as good as it was. He never got proper credit for it from Mr. Stevens.
I have no clue (nor do I really care) what lable will be marketing the newest release of Cat Stevens...but don't you just think those lucky music execs are ready to jihad all over him for throwing in his two cents on the Pope. It's a capitalist, capitalist world Cat...
