I have always found his story to be very interesting, even when I was very young. (I think back then though I liked it because he had such different names before and after conversion :P) But he is actually one of the people I looked at when I began to consider my own conversion.
there are several very nice documentaries about yusuf islam's journey on google video.
click on "longer than 20 minutes".
warning: for those who think musical instruments are haram: there is music in them. (of course)

when you have questions about stuff like this, try the "technical support" section. (it's a sub forum of "forum help and feedback".
we have many very helpful and knowledgeable members - this is where i learned how to save web videos. that's what's cool about this forum - you can learn a lot about islam and you can also learn a lot of other stuff too.

I was thinking of him as I've been stepping into my own conversion into Islam. I'm not a big fan of his music, but I can relate to his journey to Islam.
This was a very beautiful video. And I was so happy to see the wisdom in his coming to understand that musical talent is a gift of Allah and it can/should be used to glorify Him.
