Remember this Cat Stevens tune?

Wild World came out in 1970.

It was a big hit for Cat Stevens -- one of many for the British singer-songwriter.

Back in the 70's, it would not have been unusual to see Cat Stevens playing a gig in Los Angeles.

Well, two weeks ago it was Yusuf Islam who arrived in LA.

Cat Stevens was there in spirit though.

Yusuf performed both his old songs, from the Cat Stevens years, and his new material.

In fact, he was there to promote his new album "Roadsinger."

And despite the 33 year absence from performing in LA, Yusuf says the gig that night harkened back to his youth.
