This day in music history.

July 21, 1975, On his 28th birthday while swimming in Malibu, Cat Stevens is swept out to sea by a rip tide. He feels himself beginning to drown and prays to God, "Oh God! If you save me, I'll work for you". A large wave then sweeps him back to shore. The very next day his brother David gives him a copy of the Qur'an for a birthday gift which Cat takes as a sign from God. He will later change his name to Yusef Islam after converting to the Muslim faith.
Jesus by Cat Stevens
They used to call him Jesus
Long time ago
Theyre still calling him Jesus
Dont you know
They crossed the wood and hanged him
A long time ago
They still misunderstand him
Those who dont know
And in the evening his love will lead the blind
In every secret corner there in your mind
They called him Gautama Buddha
Oh long time ago
He turned the world to order
Dont you know
He used to sit knowing
Oh long time ago
Where you and me were going
And in the evening his love will lead the blind
