Van Morrison (George Ivan Morrison, born 31 August 1945) is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician. He first appeared in the U.S. as a member of the band, Them, then in the late 60s started a solo career.

Morrison has released over 30 albums and continues to record and tour.

Much of Morrison’s music is rooted in soul and rhythm and blues, but another part of his catalog is a long list of spiritually-inspired songs that point to his Celtic tradition.
