Steven Georgiou, Cat Stevens or Yusaf Islam

From Rachel K – Mr. Pop – I love all the John Cougar Mellencamp name variations. Was there someone else, another recording artist with various names. Other than Prince?

Mr. Pop History – I think Prince beats them all. How about before and after a recording career? For that one – Cat Stevens has my attention. He was born Steven Georgiou, recorded under Cat Stevens and has been Yusaf Islam for almost three decades.

Come back soon, as I answer, to the best of my knowledge, another one of your pop history/culture questions.
