Yusuf Nominated for Songwriters Hall of Fame

Yusuf has been nominated for induction into the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame for 2009, it has been announced. The nomination comes during an eventful year for Yusuf and is particularly timely given the imminent re-release of his classic album Tea for the Tillerman, which features some of his most popular songs.

Over the past four decades, the Songwriters Hall of Fame list of inductees includes music creators as diverse as Hank Williams, Henry Mancini, Otis Redding, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, and Buddy Holly. Each year, a Nominating Committee selects candidates for induction. Only writers who have been engaged in the profession for a minimum of 20 years and who have written an extensive catalogue of hits are eligible.

Having been awarded the Ivor Novello for Outstanding Song Collection in 2007, the nomination for the Songwriters Hall of Fame underlines the continuous and growing recognition of Yusuf’s unique contribution to popular music throughout his distinguished career – both as Cat Stevens and Yusuf Islam.
