He also played piano, guitar, and harmonica, starting out in Irish show bands as a teenager eventually coming to prominence in a rock band, Them, with such songs as "Gloria", "Here Comes the Night", "Mystic Eyes", and a great version of an old blues tune, "Baby Please Don't Go" which I would rank with Animals' version of "House of the Rising Sun"...

Van writes 99% of his songs, writes and arranges his music, writes his own horn charts. He ptoduces, plays saxophone, harmonica, guitar, keys. He is the band leader. When he makes an album he delivers it complete, ready to press a disc and distribute. He’s made more than 50 studio and live recordings and released at least 80 singles.

This and Brown Eyed Girl are his biggest radio tunes... but his rabbit lives very, very deep down in the hole! Van is kinda like Steely Dan... both in how he mixes genres so well to create his own, unmistakable sound... and that he just finds great musicians (and they want to work on his stuff, and has a rep for being a taskmaster at times) for both his recordings and his touring bands.

Van wrote this song, so he is not covering somebody else's composition. Van used to hang out in Mill Valley in Marin County just North of the Golden Gate Bridge coming into San Francisco. Van was working on this song for a long time, drinking at the Silver Dollar bar at night, good Irishman, hanging with the locals trying to get away from the world of expectations and enjoying life. He wrote this song about that time.

Great reaction, as usual. Van is so unique and more diverse than he gets credit for. Always soulful, sometimes bluesy, sometimes drawing on Irish/Celtic/mystical themes -- and here, he really swings. If you're interested in exploring Van's influence on other rock artists, try "Kitty's Back" by Bruce Springsteen.

All of the accolades in the comments about Van is absolute truth. Personally saw him live in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. That’s only three of the 7 decades he’s been making music. Each time I saw him, his play sets never repeated, and each show was masterful. He did start out as a saxophone player. A great tune by him which is autobiographical, but not mainstream is Cleaning Windows. It’s basically a story of his job, at the time when he was learning the music business, learning to write, his influences. He was born and brought up in Belfast N Ireland, which in the 50s, and being a major seaport town, he was able to get all the music coming out of America, especially the Delta blues artists that would be brought in by sailors, and merchant marines. Check out a lyrics video if you so desire of that song, and you will understand Van the Man.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You guys are amazing. I love reaction videos of things I love, in general. I get to experience things I love with others. But not only that. I get to experience what I love through their ears and/or eyes. I get to see and hear things through the experience of someone else. Like reaction videos let me hear and see things I’d never seen. Maybe it’s because Ive taken these thing’s for granted. Every time I hear a song, I hear it through the lens I’ve already given it. You know what they about first impressions. They last, a long time. Thing’s like to stay the same unless altered by some outside force. I also love you guys because of your music knowledge. “I’ve heard this before, somewhere”. I love music lineage. How bands formed? What circumstances brought them together? Where the ideas for songs came from? etc. And then you come in. With, who has sampled it and/or, what your personal connection with the song, singer, riff, style, and how it makes you feel. That’s what I like.
