Q Classic Songwriter
Yusuf (formerly Cat Stevens) took home the Q Classic Songwriter gong at the Q Awards 2009 with Russian Standard Vodka.
James Blunt presented the award to the legendary singer-songwriter, who started his recording career in the mid-60's penning renowned tracks such as Moonshadow, Wide World, Father and Son and recording the album Tea For The Tillerman.
Accepting the award Yusuf explained "I used to worry that people would be dancing then when my songs came on people would stop and sit down", "now I think maybe that's a nice thing."
Red carpet and backstage photos added shortly at the Q Awards 2009 with Russian Standard Vodka micro-site.

Saw him in Miami Beach in the Early 70s, This is a Writer whose words largely reflect his life, and the journey which is his. Spirit Felt, A man who wishes Peace and Happiness, Good WILL for All of Mankind, I commend them for giving Steven his Recognition as a Writer, and Now to Produce a Play/Concert "MoonShadow", as he continues to streak through Life with a drop of Tea for the Tillerman,,,, May GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
