It was at this time when he would achieve his first great success with the song "Matthew and Son", but an illness kept him withdrawn for a long time in which he would change his way of seeing music, moving away from commercial pop and entering the genre of singer-songwriter , in which he would achieve his best albums.
After his success in the seventies he would retire for a long time to return under the name Yusef Islam with whom he would record exclusively Muslim religious music.
His stage of glory includes a series of great albums focused on folk rock such as "Mona Bone Jakon", "Tea For The Tillerman", "Teaser and the Firecat", "Catch Bull at Four", "Foreigner", "Buddah and the Chocolat Box", "Numbers" or "Izitso" all of them published in the period between 1970 and 1977.
In all of them great songs appeared that filled his repertoire with classics such as "Morning Has Broken", "Moonshadow" or "Father and Son" ... among others.
In 1975 these and other hits were included in the compilation "Greatest Hits", which achieved overwhelming success in some countries, leaving evidence of the legacy of this talented and multifaceted musician and singer.
