Fellas, Van wrote this. Fun fact: Van started out as a jazz/r&b saxophonist.

Van Morrison is the original and best version.

That walking bass was perfection.

By far his biggest hit. Still on the radio. I don't think I have ever heard a bad Van Morrison song.

Van's absolutely magical. My husband actually pulled our car over and we got out to dance one night, lol. Such memories of all of his wonderful music.

This is Van’s song. One of the best by one of the best.

This is an all-time classic, and is the ORIGINAL version. Anyting else you heard are just covers. Released in 1970, this never *never* gets old.

Van started saxiphone at 14 yrs. old. His dad had a jazz record collection. All famous jazz players on this one.

Van's lyrics are always poetry. Forgot how great this song is. Every instrument is excellent.

This is an original by Van! Excellent song

This is the coolest song. Makes me think I can dance in ways my body does not move anymore.

One of the best sounds from a song you can hear. Van is so diverse and an incredible vocalist. Wild Night, Domino, Wavelength or Blue Money all great songs. Give a listen ✌️🎼🎶🎸🎵

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 was a 100% Van Morrison composition in 1970 - no cover.

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.

I highly recommend another song from Van Morrison. And It Stoned Me. When you check this out, do the studio version and be sure to have the lyrics on hand.

MUST HEAR classics BEFORE Van (The Man) Morrison's solo career,, Them "Here Comes The Night" & "Gloria"...TRUST ME!!

Have you seen the full moon lately? My husband and I danced to this in our backyard last night! Together 40 years and this song still makes one feel romantic! 😽💋🎶💕

Moondance" is a song recorded by Northern Irish singer and songwriter Van Morrison and is the title song on his third studio album Moondance (1970).

Van Morrison, the soul poet of actual music. ♥️

Van is and has been The Man for more than 50 years.

Irish soul. Van the man! ☘️

It's a Van Morrison classic, hes a legend in Ireland.

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.

Van is The Man. A desert island album in my book. Great reaction.

Legendary writer and vocalist, who would fight you at the drop of a hat. The stories about him are hilarious, he was not a man you wanted to cross.

It’s not a cover. He wrote it. The original. You can’t go wrong. omg my favorite.

All us cool cats and kittens love this one! Love the jazzy feeling.

Not only did Van write that, he was only 23 year's old. He was the Marvin Gaye of the British Isles. Just a Godsend to us all

Thanks for this reaction. Another must listen is 'Into The Mystic' , truly amazing. Going back 60 years Van was in the Irish band, Them. Their 'Baby, Please Don't Go' was their debut single. Also worth a listen. Cheers ✌

Can still remember every word. Could sing it in my sleep.

One of those albums I will cherish, always.

"DOMINO" is another great song from Van...!

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.

Airplay Beats Big Soul Review is bringing the truth with Van The Man. Thanks for playing all the Van Morrison songs. Your commentary and views on the music and vocals are always on point. SOMEONE LIKE YOU, HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY I LOVE YOU, WAVELENGTH, IN THE GARDEN, QUEEN OF THE SLIPSTREAM, FULL FOR GALE, LISTEN TO THE LION, GET YOU HAND OUT OF MY POCKET, T.B. SHEETS - You should give his Album 'IT's TOO LATE TOO STOP NOW' a song-by-song listen. It's one of the great Live Albums that capture Van at his best. Thank you for all the diverse music and hard work you put into bringing us so much joy.

Van's voice is exceptional. A excellent reaction by an excellent performer to an excellent song. Had the pleasure of seeing him on my 21st birthday at the Masonic Temple in Detroit. A small venue that was excellent. Appreciate you la and Che. Thanks fellas 👌 ❤

Bobby Mc Ferrin did cover this in 1982. 12 years after Van's original release.. Thanks, you are my favorite reaction team

Great song. There's one song by Van that I'm sure you've heard, 'Brown Eyed Girl'. It's a classic that routinely gets played at weddings. Enjoy your channel guys...

This whole album is fire. And it Stoned Me is my suggestion for your next Van Morrison reaction. But, all of his music is great stuff. Enjoy. I'd really like to see you react to some Steve Miller Band, a lot of great music waiting for you from them. The Joker and Fly Like an Eagle would be nice.

This became my favorite song as soon as it came out❣️🎶💯

Brown eyed girl is a great song too by him

Van the man has made such beautiful music over the years. Have I told you lately is a favourite.

This needs to be on any Romance playlist. When you're getting ready for a date, you should definitely play Van Morrison.

It was written by Van. love your reaction

I still hear this song regularly on the radio. It’s such a classic. ❤🎶

I could easily list 100 Van songs that are all bangers, from all periods of his long career. He is the master.

I did not see my fav led song on here. 10 years gone. I love the drums espsially

Caravan is another banger.

Gotta play Moondance & Into The Mystic back to back after 2AM. Best time for that vibe!

Yep 1970 Mr Morrison wrote this classic piece. 1977 My old man played it for me for first time I was 15..... Dam time flies!!!!

Like I said, this is a beautifully recorded track with impeccable separation on all the instruments. Van has soul. I've seen him twice and both are among my top live shows.

This is the greatest lounge song of all time! Great jazz from a great artist! Amazing catalog to go with this one.

My favorite Van Morrison song. Never heard it by anyone else but Van wrote the song in 1970. I'd call it smooth jazz.

Every Van Morrison album I have, Van wrote every song, music and lyrics. I don't think I ever heard a Van cover, but I have heard many people cover Van. As Robby Robertson called him at the Last Waltz, Van the Man. I definitely recommend you doing the video of Van Morrison and the Band doing his song Caravan at the Last Waltz - Van is awesome!

My wife and I love Van Morrison! Before she passed away we danced a lot to to his music over the years! I have many fond memories from this music ! Thank you very much !!!! This is his music !

His Live version of Caravan from “The Last Waltz” with The Band is fire!

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.

My favorite Van Morrison tune right there fellers good stuff, God bless.

"Blue Money" and "Jackie Wilson said" are bangers

I remember seeing him somewhere in New York at some off. The path club didn't know who he was until later on.

When you guys said your dad played Anita Baker, I knew you had the right background to appreciate the music I love.

I always loved this song. Another one that is sort of in the same vein is Dancing In The Moonlight by King Harvest. Both are just really cool, classic rock staples.

My favorite Van Morrison song, of many.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! I love people who truly appreciate GREAT music. It does not matter what the genre, great music translates to those who LOVE music. Great is Great…… period!!!!

You guys keep bringing out the best of the best ❗ This was probably his biggest hit. Beautiful lyrics and composition 🎵🎵🎵 This is HIS song. Glad you loved it too.

Such great musicianship in this song.

“And it Stoned Me” needs to be your next Van song.

A Van Morrison original! Fantastic! Love you guys!

One of the all time great music tracks...care of: Van the Man.

Van the Man.

Origional and simply Van. Thanks guys

van the man, - his live performance with the band on, the last waltz movie with a track called caravan is well worth a watch all my best to you and yours from Liverpool

The BEST musicians in the world want to play for Van...genius does that to you...His Astral Weeks album was the first time rock jazz fusion happened.

I’ve already done the research. This is his composition, his song, and no one else’s.

never heard anyone else do this, All time great song.

This is his , first time hearing it , we were all like “what???” Musical candy !!

There's one song in particular that has the flute in the forefront of an early 70's rock song, you subscribers out there know which one I'm talking about. That's going to be a fun reaction.

A jazz standard by Van himself!!!❤

I saw Van morrison on the main stage at glastonbury 97. Stood at the front up to my knees in mud. Followed by sheryl crow, then smashing pumpkins and then headlining ( i believe ive heard you say they are one of your favourites) The Prodigy! Boom. Good day at the office! I was 16 years old and lit! Haha 😂

Van Morrison and Jim Morrison of the Doors were once on stage together at the Whiskey A Go Go in 1966.

He wrote it. Listen to him do Sam Cooke and Bobby Bland. His heroes are Ray Charles, Solomon Burke etc.. blue collar Irish boy who grew up listening to his dad’s record collection. One of the best ever. Still doing it btw at 78

Another gem from Van, "Into the Mystic".

What a classic. Got to be my favorite VM tune.

The Morrison songbook is vast and excellent. Don’t stop.

I've heard a lot of covers of Moondance, but no one else comes close to Van.

An all-time favorite of mine. Jazzed up Irish soul. Thanks for the share. Now drop Jackie Wilson Said. You'll love it.

You guyz gotta check out Van 'LIVE" in the 'Last Waltz'. His expressions and movements to those who've only heard him sing, will double your appreciation of his talent. TURN IT UP!

It was played in American Werewolf in London. Movie from 1983. May you heard it before from that. Van Morrison is another icon you gotta go down the rabbit hole with him.

As producers, & studio men, U will really appreciate the mixing, of the 8 instruments, even on all the live stuff ! (Waggaki Band)

Extremely famous original from Van M. It's been in so many film soundtracks etc., just a mainstay of radio/film/tv.

Another great reaction gentleman. Van Morrison is a legend. I think you would really enjoy Wild Night. Keep up the phenomenal work..

Always reminds me of Autumn and burning leaves. We can still do that in GA

Van Morrison wrote/performed it. A lot of famous artists have covered him so it's possible you've heard this before. Speaking of that, if you haven't heard Wild Night you should. That was covered by John Cougar Melencamp and kind of helped Van get back into the limelight for a bit.

I highly recommend checking out the studio version of "Satisfied" by Van. Great vocals, and the trumpet/saxophone Call and Response solo will blow you away!

Yeah not bad for a Northern Irishman. True jazz, blues, genius. He has many great songs. I love to listen to his song TB Sheets because of the story to the song.

Great review. I love how you notice all the details and do an insightful analysis. Thanks for playing such great music.

You can always count on the subscriber base to know about the artist and song. As for the production, you guys are still kings! Thanks for the play! Cheers!

Yeah this is definitely the original one of the top 10 composers in the 2Oth century

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.

Amazing to think I’ve been listening to this for 30 yrs and you and others ain’t ever heard it. Mind blowing 🤯
