Van  Morrison  is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician whose recording career started in the 1960s. Morrison's albums have performed well in the UK and Ireland, with more than 40 reaching the UK top 40, as well as internationally, including in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. He has scored top ten albums in the UK in four consecutive decades, following the success of 2021's  Latest Record Project, Volume 1.  Eighteen of  his albums  have reached the top 40 in the United States, twelve of them between 1997 and 2017.  Since turning 70 in 2015, he has released – on average – more than an album a year.  His accolades  include two  Grammy Awards,  the 1994  Brit Award  for Outstanding Contribution to Music, the 2017  Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award  for Songwriting, and inductions into both the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame  and the  Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2016 he was  knighted  for services to the music industry and to tourism in Northern Ireland.

Morrison began performing as a teenager in the late 1950s, playing a variety of instruments including guitar, harmonica, keyboards and saxophone for various  Irish showbands, covering the popular hits of that time. Known as "Van the Man" to his fans, Morrison rose to prominence in the mid-1960s as the lead singer of the  Belfast  R&B  band  Them, with whom he wrote and recorded "Gloria", which became a  garage band  staple. His solo career started under the pop-hit-oriented guidance of  Bert Berns  with the release of the hit single "Brown Eyed Girl" in 1967. After Berns's death,  Warner Bros. Records  bought Morrison's contract and allowed him three sessions to record  Astral Weeks  (1968). While initially a poor seller, the album has come to be regarded as a classic.  Moondance  (1970) established Morrison as a major artist,  and he built on his reputation throughout the 1970s with a series of acclaimed albums and live performances. Much of Morrison's music is structured around the conventions of  soul music  and early  rhythm and blues. An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz and  stream of consciousness  narrative, of which  Astral Weeks  is a prime example.  The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic soul", and his music has been described as attaining "a kind of violent transcendence".
