I was actually a fan of Cat Stevens long before I fell in love with Chris Cornell's music. Now that I'm a hardcore Cornell fan, I just found out about this performance.
It really breaks my heart that in another 20 years, some younger artist won't be able to bring a 70-year-old Chris Cornell on stage and say "It's good to have him back." RIP, Chris.
@@BaconTomatoCheese It's very sad. I'm not an emotional guy, but Cornell's music (Soundgarden) was my youth. More so than Nirvana, Pearl Jam, STP, it was Cornell's music that really spoke to me. Very sad he's not here anymore.
I am glad for the moments like this, and I'm grateful that I could listen. Otherwise life is a major boring shit. Only if I could switch places with Chris. God, this world needs a man like him so much.
I can't believe I was here, it was more special than I realized at the time. Thank you dad for taking me to see Cat Stevens, I will never forget this concert.
@Eddievedder833 A father was lookin' 4 his daughter on the streets... she lost her way while cutting her teeth... now all her pillows R made of tarand concrete... tears are streaming from his eyes... when he's calling her name into the night... he just wants to hold her and never let go- so the tillerman won't drink his tea... until his little girl has been freed... from the gold dust prison with the love she needs... TBC.
And she's got a tattoo on her heart... of needle filled with love she never had...but her daddy knows, her daddy knows...there's a better way to kill the sad...than a dose between good and bad.
This song I have loved for over 30yrs breaks my heart ❤. Because he is singing about my daughter 💔. We lost her December 23 2017 from an overdose. She loved Cat Stevens
Been a Cat Steven's fan since I was a young boy. I am 60 now and did not know who Chris Cornell was, but holy shit he is awesome. Love seeing the old and new generation keeping classics alive. Cornell had a great voice. RIP brother.
That is excellent that you recognize Chris’s talent. I am 50 and I always missed Cat Stevens being away from music. These two combined generations perfectly!
Such class and respect shown by Chris. He is always so humble when singing with other artists.. never tried to outdo or over shadow them. Such a loss to music, his friends and his daughters. Cat still sounding great here as well. would have been so awesome to be in that crowd.
I get what you're saying, and you're absolutely right, but I was kind of waiting for Chris to let loose a little. It was he right call to keep it where he did.
What a great performance. It’s so good seeing Cat Stevens back on stage, he still sounds amazing. On the other hand, it breaks my heart we won’t be able to see chris cornell on stage in 20 years.
I'm a boomer, a Cat Stevens fan from the beginning of his career but not familiar with Chris Cornell. I was struck by his compelling performance here -- he was in sync with Cat and his contributing vocals were perfect. Now that I've seen some of his work I am all the more distressed about his premature death. If it matters, I'll be downloading his tunes in the hope of extending his musical lifespan a tiny bit.
You are a guy after my own heart! I could've left that comment, ver batim; sharing identical heartfelt sentiments. Both this performance AND your lovely comment blessed me today. Thank you!
Have you seen the live stuff he did with Chester and Linkin Park? He naturally switches up in the harmonies to not overrun Chester without missing a beat. Dude was one of the very best.
@@maxwellbrown3694 Thanks for finding the words I was struggling with.... Cat Stevens was humble enough to allow Chris Cornell to accompany him. No slight on Chris, he is great but just stating the truth....
Two of my favorites from different decades. I'm 61. I came of age with Cat Steven's, and I was in my late 20s/early 30s when Chris Cornell made his way into my world. RIP Chris.
OMG. This is beautiful! I'm a fan of both. Also a frontline healthcare worker. I look for things that help me when days are bad for a pick me up. I'm going to rewatch this many times before I go to work tomorrow. BE WELL ALL!!
The fact that Chris went to thank the rest of the band after made me tear up. It takes a classy person to show gratitude to everyone who contributes to a great performance ❤️
I love this! Missing Chris so bad. The morning my husband found out he passed, he came into our bedroom and told me I needed to sit down...he gently broke the news to me. I was devastated. I love my husband for knowing how I love Chris Cornell. Miss Chris terribly and I listen to at least one if not more of his songs daily.
Rose Pettit It’s amazing to me how many of us mourn his death as if he were family. I don’t know if I ever felt that way about anyone else in music, not even Layne. And, oh, how I loved Layne. But Chris....It’s different and I don’t know why or how. It just is.
What a great husband you must have for him to even know your love for Chris and then to be so sensative in breaking the news to you to boot. Sounds like you got yourself a winner!
@@helenbirdart sorry to keep sticking my nose in but look at talent that seems to have replaced them? Some of these new guys are not only rappers but they are also gangsters. How about that for multitasking ? They will never run out of inspiration when they can snatch an elderly ladies handbag get chased by police then rap about the injustice of it all! Rightfully, indignant due to the racial profiling used to capture him. Enough material to inspire an entirely new mix tape and just enough time to record it and still benefit from all the free advertising. Genius.
Chris was one of the last of my generation ( X). Icant even remember who's left now. It sucks. The only way to hear and see them is through you tube concerts from 20-30 years ago.
I know what you’re saying, but I think we take something away from the innocence of youth if we portray the world as too evil. I might be talking ****, but I’d rather hope people are basically good, than believe more people are bad.
Damn!!!! Cat Stevens and the legendary Chris Cornell, together on stage! singing this song! Gotta love Chris' vocals, along with Cat's voice, absolutley amazing. This song, actually brought a lump in my throat!!! EGAD!!! Me thinks I got something in my eye!!!! BRAVO!!!
So happy to see yusaf/ cat Stevens again after so many years. He wrote such great songs that stand the test if time. I also loved, and still love, Chris Cornell. May he rip
I love this version of this timeless classic sung by two incomparable legends . I get emotional when I hear Chris Cornell say "Isn't great to have him back" because of course of his s very sad loss. Obviously I never met Mr Cornell but the beauty and magic he created through his craft kept me going through some tough times. I will always shed a tear when I hear him say "Isn't it great to have him back. R I.P. C.Cornell one of the best who EVER did it. 2:27
It's grounding and present to realize the internal struggle Chris had. This song with Jusuf exemplifies him in such a way that it brings tears to the eyes.
The most talented singer/song writer with Cat. He is missed by all. If you didn't know any of Chris's music, or how he could form his voice around any genre of music, then you don't know what you missed.
I only clicked on this after remembering when Cat Stevens went off and became one with Islam, swearing off all of his past, including his musical talent and career...adamantly protesting in like 2004, that he would never return/ Fully donning the garb of said, recluse life as well. Then, in 2006...he came back...playing hard as though he’d been locked away without choice... and has been making music like a fiend ever since... Thank God. When the lord blesses one with such an amazing talent...He does not expect them to hide nor keep it to themself... one has an obligation To more than just themselves, to share and nurture it. Thank You Cat Stevens. 🙏❤️
This song 🎧 makes me so happy that I was able to listen and love Cat Stevens in the 70’s and lucky enough to see Chris Cornell with Soundgarden in one of his last tours. Miss him! RIP CC
Glad to see so many feel like me. What a wonderful treat I stumbled upon. I cried and cried! I was heartbroken for the years Cat Steven turned his back on music - the music industry. Seeing him with Chis Cornell - priceless
A friend of mine shared this video and as soon as I saw the title I knew I was going to cry. I wasn't wrong at all. Thanks for sharing your music with the world Chris. We'll always remember you.
I absolutely agree. Chris had the pipes to blow the freaking doors off of this song! Instead he showed true respect for another great artist and their work. He held back and kept the song pure to it's roots. True humility in such a powerhouse... a rare and beautiful thing.
Tenía una voz espectacular... realmente se rompe el corazón de ni tenerlo entre nosotros...Q.D.E.P....nunca nunca te olvidaremos... triste perder esa voz y esa persona tan bella
Holy crap! Was just listening to the Higher Truth album for the first time and thinking how Chris' voice and the style of tg ed songs reminded me of cat Stevens.....and then I come across this! No words can describe.
_"And it's breaking my heart you're leaving __-baby-__ Chris I'm greaving"_ - Those lyrics hit even harder than before. Rest in peace you legend. We all miss you dearly.
I just discovered this gorgeous collaboration today. This beautiful song takes me back to 'Moon Shadow' premiered on a morning show when I was just a child. How lucky we are to be able to view and listen to the Great artists.
I can't even express the loss I feel over Chris Cornell..... can't wait to oneday sit between Layne and Chris..... just to say "Thank You"..... you both unknowingly saved so many of us lost souls......God Loves Grunge!!!
Wow...can you imagine hearing this now? It would be the song of the people. Thank you in posthumously Chris. Your genius will be taught, 8f we tell our children and grandchildren, about you and the many great artists, like Cat, who invited you to sing with them. Total respect.
I was expecting something better myself. Cat was great. Chris wasn't bad but didn't really ad much to the performance other than being there and looking cool.
This song auto played on feed (I was listening to "Let It Rain - Eric Clapton) I'm now happy and crying at the same time to hear Chris again... Oh that voice, he was so talented that I found it hard to know when Cat's voice ended and Chris's began.... Seemless! 💔😍💕
wow, I can't believe I only just discovered this and I'm already onto my 3rd view. Have adored both these men for decades. This is perfection... I can't stop the tears.
This song is so true of the world today.I will always remember it as a child. No matter how wild things get, with all that is going on. Please folks, remember the easier days, like a child. We got this
Hey, i dont know you, but if you can read this - I LOVE YOU, no matter what, keep strong, love your life and enjoy every moment, we only have chance to enjoy it. For all those who are not with us, i rais my cup to you while living in this wild world.
Hard to read the comment on anything Chris Cornell is in. He was truly gifted and loved by many including me. Very rarely does a celebrity death effect me. At the time of his death I was in a dark place and listening to his voice would some how brighten my day. Great singer gone to early I'm just glad that we were blessed to hear such a voice.
Long time Cat fan, since around the age of 10. One of his albums was amongst the very 1st I bought. My Korean wife had never heard of Cat Stevens. When I played this song for her, she was hooked. It's kind of been our song ever since.
He Totally let Cat shine. He could have, (and So many younger singers do this) blown him out of the water. He's one of the best vocalists on the planet. He held back - big time. He didnt even embelish his own parts. Huge respect he showed. And he is Owed.
When Chris sings his first verse I literally get chills. That man could sing anything and sound perfectly different in each song. GD wish there were more covers to come from him.
And Never forget andrew wood of Mother love bone who if had not died there would be no chris Cornell his tribute song made him pearl jam Nirvana! How sad one death made much amazing music and how these beautiful souls with powerful messages are all gone. Divine planning. Don't let the music or the message die just because the messenger did! The young ones of today need to hear what they had to say. Pass it on. Not the music of today!!
I love Cat Steven's and then to see him perform one of my childhood hits with my idol Chris Corneell was like two angels singing together. Iwill love it and treasure it forever. Miss you Chrs.

I like that Cornell's fans are listening to Cat Stevens. That's how music stays alive.
Indeed. ;)
So, so true. x
Most of us do. I was born in 85 so I grew up on my parents tapes and 90s music.
My favorite is Morning Has Broken, which I heard the first time as a cover by the band Third Day.
I was actually a fan of Cat Stevens long before I fell in love with Chris Cornell's music. Now that I'm a hardcore Cornell fan, I just found out about this performance.
It really breaks my heart that in another 20 years, some younger artist won't be able to bring a 70-year-old Chris Cornell on stage and say "It's good to have him back." RIP, Chris.
Yeah - right? Couldn’t help thinking the same thing as I watched this performance - even before I read your comment…
@@BaconTomatoCheese It's very sad. I'm not an emotional guy, but Cornell's music (Soundgarden) was my youth. More so than Nirvana, Pearl Jam, STP, it was Cornell's music that really spoke to me. Very sad he's not here anymore.
😢 He is so very beloved.
😢💔
Yeah what a loss
If this doesn't touch your soul, you probably don't have one. 2 of the greatest voices to ever grace the planet, and they sound great together.
Amen to that.
ABSOFUCKINLUTELY 💯
I am glad for the moments like this, and I'm grateful that I could listen. Otherwise life is a major boring shit. Only if I could switch places with Chris. God, this world needs a man like him so much.
Yes INDEED!! My eyes actually got tears in them… because these 2 are pretty much , hands down best voices, together WOW!
Hermoso!!
I can't believe I was here, it was more special than I realized at the time. Thank you dad for taking me to see Cat Stevens, I will never forget this concert.
You are so lucky ☮️
You sure are lucky sir... Stay safe.
I fucking envy you sir 🙏
I went to so many concerts with my Dad. Best times I've ever had. He died in 2018, I miss him so fucking much. We woulda loved to see them.
Where was this show in LA?
Everytime I hear Chris sing, my soul smiles but my heart breaks and breaks .....😪💔
U and me both!!
@Eddievedder833 What R U doing here??

Cat Stevens, Chris Cornell and Wild World... I gave a like even before listening to it, and I didn't regret afterwards...
Same here!
Bingo!
Me five!
And my hunch was confirmed. That was awesome.
I did it too.
Chris Cornell's voice is unbelievable
He makes ANYthing sound AMAZING! 😭💔
He could sing alphabet and it would great
His voice is not bad.
The voice from Kurt cobain is another Level and the best of all time R n R
@@schaltgetriebe6726 strong disagree
Veo a mi cris ya un tanto apagado, desanimado 😢, sin palabras
Chris is so unique. He wanted to sing with as many people as he could. What a beautiful soul. RIP. you’re always loved.
This song I have loved for over 30yrs breaks my heart ❤. Because he is singing about my daughter 💔. We lost her December 23 2017 from an overdose. She loved Cat Stevens
I love Cat Stevens too,since I was young and I really sorry for your lost... Sorry about muy english,Im from chihuahua, México
Heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.
Be blessed you and your daughter
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Until you meet again...

Chris was the vocalist of audioslave... his most famous song is "like a stone"
@@renataalmaraz4075are you kidding? 😮 Soundgarden dude 😮 like a stone 😮😅 wow
Oooh can't stop my tears really Chriss is amazing what a voice!!! Loved seeing them singing with no comparison❤
Omg im crying my heart out.. I love everyone whos here.. Horrible scary times.. Stay safe my beautiful people ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
♥️

For reals! Keep your head up ❤
Beautiful comment, hope you guys are right. One love, friends. 💕

Was.... 😥 RIP Chris
@@meanpeoplesuckalot8690 well in my eyes he is still here in his music he has left us.
Never tried to overshadow, but with those pipes, he just couldn't help it
I get what you're saying, and you're absolutely right, but I was kind of waiting for Chris to let loose a little. It was he right call to keep it where he did.
But not his money grabbing 2nd wife,she can burn...
73 year old gifted with great life soundtrack. Just discovered Chris Cornell. Sacred voice gone too soon.
AWESOME!!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Bless you Kathleen
Take a very long listen. It's never too late.

Chris Cornell has a ch an amazing voice. Gone too soon. Andrew Wood as well.
Chris's cover of MJ's "Billie Jean" is FIRE!
You are a guy after my own heart! I could've left that comment, ver batim; sharing identical heartfelt sentiments. Both this performance AND your lovely comment blessed me today. Thank you!
Yaaaaay that's so cool!!!!! Highly recommend his solo albums, Higher Truth and Euphoria Morning and Songbook too. His covers are all brilliant
Wonder if Chris knows how much so much of the world misses him.
Idk but alot of us will.
Unfortunately he doesn't because he's gone.
@@yepper1165 It all depends in what you believe. He may not be able to communicate well but he may still be around.
So sad
Ouch
Wow. Rock star like Chris Cornell puts his ego aside and sings the harmony. RIP Chris. You are missed brother.
Have you seen the live stuff he did with Chester and Linkin Park? He naturally switches up in the harmonies to not overrun Chester without missing a beat. Dude was one of the very best.
Cat Stevens is the only rock star on the stage that has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and it's his song lol
@@maxwellbrown3694 Chris is deserving of the hall of fame, how many great bands did he bless us with over the years? Both are rockstars in my mind.
Pure class!
@@maxwellbrown3694 Thanks for finding the words I was struggling with.... Cat Stevens was humble enough to allow Chris Cornell to accompany him. No slight on Chris, he is great but just stating the truth....
A duet between two musical legends singing this incredible song. Somebody cutting onions up in here. R.I.P. Chris Cornell.
Makes me cry....
Im blasting audiislave as i write this harland.. Cool name boy!! Cat stevens n tom waits gettin me thru lockdown.. And my dog.. Oh and beer🍻🍻🍻❤️❤️
A beautiful duet it is! The times have changed, no doubt.
Two of my favorites from different decades. I'm 61. I came of age with Cat Steven's, and I was in my late 20s/early 30s when Chris Cornell made his way into my world. RIP Chris.
61 i am also and agree with your comment totally..
Chris...man...best voice of all time!! Wish you were still here!!

Yes! This is one of my favorite videos!
I'm 2034
December 2024 Saturday morning grooving to some of the music I grew up listening to. This is the first song on my playlist today.
What the fv
Man Cat's voice didn't decline at all
I was thinking the same thing!
DITTO 🤘💯
If Chris lived would be the same .....amazing
that's what believing in allah will do you brother
@@hexley1696 agree
As we come up to the 18th once again. It helps to see that there are others that hurt like me over someone they've never met .💔
Your not alone I visit his voice that gets me by when I am down
Your not alone brother !! I was lucky I got to see him twice in concert. It was 2 nights I'll never forget!!
Good Music. Shared to me!
Yes very much so.. 💔
Yes I understand completely
The fact that Chris went to thank the rest of the band after made me tear up. It takes a classy person to show gratitude to everyone who contributes to a great performance ❤️
Yes Julie, I agree. It was his usual style. He seemed such a humble, kind man.
His voice and music have help me through many nights.
I noticed that too and that says so much about Chris.Wish we could have saved him from himself.
I was always hoping Cat Stevens would return, he hasn't lost a step, sounds just the same, wonderful voice and performance.

You should listen to some of his teachings they're very peaceful.

I’m a Chris Cornell, Audioslave, Soundgarden fan.
Nice to meet you.
Me too!
I’m one of millions of others and we’re with you.
I became a Cat Stevens fan as a kid
I became a Chris Cornell fan at 18
I've been a fan of both ever since
Me too!
@@eliasbischoff176 Same! Long live good music, no matter the genre!
Cat Stevens was, is, and will forever be a peaceful man whose music spreads love and mindfulness.
So peaceful that he endorsed a fatwa against Salman Rushdie issued by Ayatollah Khomeini calling for his death. For writing a book.
Well said!
Absolutely.
Chris was one of the last of my generation ( X). Icant even remember who's left now. It sucks. The only way to hear and see them is through you tube concerts from 20-30 years ago.
Chris's story and his music helped me get sober 20 years ago. I'm still gutted that he's gone....
This song should be played at all High school and College Graduations.
I know what you’re saying, but I think we take something away from the innocence of youth if we portray the world as too evil. I might be talking ****, but I’d rather hope people are basically good, than believe more people are bad.

Chris Cornell is is so modest & very talented. It makes me happy & sad when watching past video of of artists passed away before there time.
This duet is on a whole different level. My heart hurts so much.

Love how Chris doesn't over power cat, he's there as a compliment 👋
Pure class
I absolutely agree. Chris had the pipes to blow the freaking doors off of this song! Instead he showed true respect for another great artist and their work. He held back and kept the song pure to it's roots. True humility in such a powerhouse... a rare and beautiful thing.
Tenía una voz espectacular... realmente se rompe el corazón de ni tenerlo entre nosotros...Q.D.E.P....nunca nunca te olvidaremos... triste perder esa voz y esa persona tan bella
He was truly special. Breaks my heart still. I can only be thankful that I had the opportunity to see him as many times as I did.
LUCKY YOU ARE, dear❣️
Wish I had. You are so lucky!
I love everything Cat Stevens has ever done, and Chris Cornell’s loss is heartbreaking, but we still can hear him thanks to recordings like this.
This brings me to tears, rip chris. Yusef is one of the nicest people alive, a real Muslim!
tout a fait d'accord!!!
2 of the most soulful voices i ever heard. I still get tears when i hear either one of them sing!
What a Great Song And This Performance Just Doesn’t Get Better Than This Just Awesome
Cornell said years ago his mom played Cat "constantly" as a child it is awesome to get to watch that!
Can confirm, his mom LOVED Cat Stevens.
The years haven't changed Yusuf or his music 🎵🎼🎶
Classic songs with real meaning never age , Shukran Yusuf 🤲
Alhamdulilah 🤲
Just great. Is there anyone else wishing they had also sung "Father and Son" together?
Miles from nowhere too
There is a great version
with Eddie Vedder here on TH-cam
What? This existed? So incredibly happy I found this. Amazing!!!!
I'm missing you Chris. Such a handsome man with beautiful blue eyes and a stunning voice. You will live on through your music. ❤❤❤
Holy crap! Was just listening to the Higher Truth album for the first time and thinking how Chris' voice and the style of tg ed songs reminded me of cat Stevens.....and then I come across this! No words can describe.
I love to hear about musical coincidences cuz I experience them all the time!
It's all about Divine order my friend
So amazing that sometimes the ones who sing these healing songs to us are the ones who need them the most. You finally broke that rusty cage, brother.
It makes my heart heavy watching Chris knowing that inside his mind is in such torment and he’ll be gone soon. Hope you found your peace my man..
_"And it's breaking my heart you're leaving __-baby-__ Chris I'm greaving"_
- Those lyrics hit even harder than before. Rest in peace you legend. We all miss you dearly.
I can't believe I only now find this. As sad as it makes me listening to and watching this, it opens my heart. A good watch on hard days
I just discovered this gorgeous collaboration today. This beautiful song takes me back to 'Moon Shadow' premiered on a morning show when I was just a child. How lucky we are to be able to view and listen to the Great artists.
Cat Stevens' voice is still intact after so many years. Actually, his voice sounds fuller here than it did on the original 1971 studio release.
agree, his voice sounds much better here!
It's what clean living does for you. Great man
@@michaelfallon3991 That and taking care of your vocal cords the way voice instructors advise.
His voice aged like fine wine. Only got better with age.
He sounds great! Hasn't missed a beat.
I can't even express the loss I feel over Chris Cornell..... can't wait to oneday sit between Layne and Chris..... just to say "Thank You"..... you both unknowingly saved so many of us lost souls......God Loves Grunge!!!
A-fuckin-men
This song is more relevant now, then ever before 💖😭🍸🍸🍸🍸 Thank you Cat Stevens for singing this with Chris. Cuts deep baby!
Hi Heather, how are you doing
Thanks a lot dear I really appreciate the love and support
Hi Heather, hope you’re okay??
Wow...can you imagine hearing this now? It would be the song of the people. Thank you in posthumously Chris. Your genius will be taught, 8f we tell our children and grandchildren, about you and the many great artists, like Cat, who invited you to sing with them. Total respect.
So glad this was ‘captured ‘ with Cat and Chris ….need say more ?
Chris is amazing, but Cat is crushing this playing and singing goddamn
It's like he hasn't aged a day.
What talent
his voice hasnt aged a bit
I was expecting something better myself. Cat was great. Chris wasn't bad but didn't really ad much to the performance other than being there and looking cool.
Cat Stevens is a freakin' sociopath. He advocated for the murder of Salman Rushie, a novelist. He needs to be ignored and routinely reviled.
Such a great combination of talent. I have to say Chris Cornell is one of the best voices I've ever heard.
This song auto played on feed (I was listening to "Let It Rain - Eric Clapton) I'm now happy and crying at the same time to hear Chris again...
Oh that voice, he was so talented that I found it hard to know when Cat's voice ended and Chris's began.... Seemless! 💔😍💕
wow, I can't believe I only just discovered this and I'm already onto my 3rd view. Have adored both these men for decades. This is perfection... I can't stop the tears.
THANKS FOR YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM!
I’m trying to learn how to sing this to my seventeen year old SON!!!!!!!!!
This song is so true of the world today.I will always remember it as a child. No matter how wild things get, with all that is going on. Please folks, remember the easier days, like a child. We got this
Hey, i dont know you, but if you can read this - I LOVE YOU, no matter what, keep strong, love your life and enjoy every moment, we only have chance to enjoy it. For all those who are not with us, i rais my cup to you while living in this wild world.
❤❤
Well said
Hard to read the comment on anything Chris Cornell is in. He was truly gifted and loved by many including me. Very rarely does a celebrity death effect me. At the time of his death I was in a dark place and listening to his voice would some how brighten my day. Great singer gone to early I'm just glad that we were blessed to hear such a voice.
Relevant still today and never going out of style. Thanks for the music.
Long time Cat fan, since around the age of 10. One of his albums was amongst the very 1st I bought. My Korean wife had never heard of Cat Stevens. When I played this song for her, she was hooked. It's kind of been our song ever since.
He Totally let Cat shine. He could have, (and So many younger singers do this) blown him out of the water. He's one of the best vocalists on the planet. He held back - big time. He didnt even embelish his own parts. Huge respect he showed. And he is Owed.
I was going to say - THIS. Thank You. He showed Such restraint and honor and reverence. Cornell has a gorgeous soul....has, not had
When Chris sings his first verse I literally get chills. That man could sing anything and sound perfectly different in each song. GD wish there were more covers to come from him.
Completely agree. Chills / goosebumps from Chris.
Never forget and never stopping loving his music
And Never forget andrew wood of Mother love bone who if had not died there would be no chris Cornell his tribute song made him pearl jam Nirvana! How sad one death made much amazing music and how these beautiful souls with powerful messages are all gone. Divine planning. Don't let the music or the message die just because the messenger did! The young ones of today need to hear what they had to say. Pass it on. Not the music of today!!
I love Cat Steven's and then to see him perform one of my childhood hits with my idol Chris Corneell was like two angels singing together. Iwill love it and treasure it forever. Miss you Chrs.
Cat Steven’s was so hot 🔥 in his 20’s and in my twenties I was crushing on Chris Cornell. Love this song especially together.
