Al Stewart

Al Stewart (born September 5, 1945) is a songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single "Year of the Cat" and its 1978 followup "Time Passages" (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock".
