Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam) has been recording George Harrison songs in London with bass player Klaus Voormann.

Voormann has long ties to The Beatles. The cover of their 1966 classic ?ÇÿRevolver?ÇÖ is his artwork. He also designed the covers for the Anthology albums.

Klaus Voorman has played on solo albums for all four Beatles.

Yusuf and Klaus have recorded two of George?ÇÖs old songs to help raise money for the people of Gaza.

The songs are ?ÇÿThe Day The World Gets Round?ÇÖ, originally from George?ÇÖs ?ÇÿLiving In The Material World?ÇÖ, and the title track from the ?ÇÿAll Things Must Pass?ÇÖ album.

Both tracks will appear on Klaus?ÇÖ forthcoming album, ?ÇÿA Sideman?ÇÖs Journey?ÇÖ. At 70 years of age now, it will be Klaus?ÇÖ first solo album.

Klaus and Yusuf recently completed the songs in a studio near Notting Hill in London. They feature Yusuf on vocals, 12-string, and acoustic guitar, Klaus Voormann on bass, Luke Potashnick on electric and acoustic guitars, Cassiano De Sa on electric guitar, Nikolaj Torp on piano/keyboards, and Kristoffer Soone on drums.

Proceeds from ?Ç£The Day the World Gets ?ÇÿRound?Ç¥ will be donated to aid children and families in Gaza.
