Van Morrison (born George Ivan Morrison) is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician known for blending rock, folk, blues, jazz and soul across a long career beginning in the 1960s.

Publicly known as the frontman of Them in the 1960s before a solo career, Van Morrison is acclaimed for albums such as Astral Weeks and Moondance and for his distinctive voice and genre-crossing songwriting.

DeBaser reviews celebrate Van Morrison's landmark albums (Astral Weeks, Moondance) and his singular voice blending folk, jazz, soul and Celtic elements. Reviewers note highs (classic 1968–1970 work) and uneven later output, while praising recent strong releases. Live performances provoke mixed reactions.
