Van Morrison is an artist in the purest sense.  Van Morrison’s body of work is one of outstanding quality and quantity. His songs are like the incantation of a mystic, bewitching listeners with intricate lyrics and that unforgettable voice.”   Sir George Van Morrison, known professionally as Van Morrison, is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter.
