Van Morrison’s career started in a very typical way for an Irish teenager in the early sixties, singing garage rock in the band Them, scoring a hit with Gloria. But in 1967, he went on to establish a solid reputation as the finest British rhythm n’ blues singer and songwriter, starting with the classic Brown Eyed Girl. His 1968 album Astral Weeks remains a milestone of music without boundaries, blending soul with pop and psychedelia to great effect.
