2014
I'm interested in 3 popular English language singers who were also active in 3 different religions: a) Protestant, Islam and Bahai.

1. Al Green was a pastor. Prior to that is was famous for the song, Let's Stay Together.  He was recently fested at the Kennedy Center in the USA capital.  2) Islamic activist Jusuf Islam was known as Cats Stevens decades ago. He's performing in the USA now. Ten years ago he was refused entrance to the USA possibly for his not very positive comments about author Salmon Rusdie. 3. Bahai Duo, Seals and Crofts were best known for the song Summer Breeze. Neil has practiced all three songs most of his life.
