[[UsefulNotes/KnightFever Sir]] George Ivan Morrison, otherwise known as Van Morrison, is a singer-songwriter who was born in Belfast, UsefulNotes/NorthernIreland on 31 August 1945. Exposed to imported American music coming in through the docks, he was hooked on the blues and jazz from an early age. A window cleaner by day, at night he fronted a blues-rock band called Them, who were resident house-band at the Maritime Hotel in Belfast. The group had its big break in 1965 with "Here Comes The Night", produced by American producer Bert Berns (who also wrote it), which topped the British singles chart and also reached the Top 30 in the USA. A string of other hits followed, including a cover of Music/BobDylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", a rock version of the blues standard "Baby, Please Don't Go", and a Morrison-penned number that was destined to be covered by some of the biggest names in the business and which is still popular today - the storming anthem "Gloria", which remains indeed Them's SignatureSong [[ChartDisplacement despite technically not being their biggest hit]].
