The very popular singer/songwriter Cat Stevens from the 70s converted to Islam in 1977 because he was extremely frustrated with the music business and other things.  He changed his name to Yusuf Islam.   However, by the 90's, he decided that no religion should prohibit music.  He still practices Islam, but has returned to making music. 4951
