Is amhránaí-amhránaí, ionstraimitheoir agus léiritheoir ceirníní Éireannacha é Sir George Ivan “Van” Morrison OBE (rugadh 31 Lúnasa 1945).
His professional career began 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.
Thosaigh a ghairm bheatha ghairmiúil mar dhéagóir ag deireadh na 1950idí, ag seinm uirlisí éagsúla lena n-áirítear giotár, harmonica, méarchláir agus sacsafón do bhannaí seó Éireannacha éagsúla, ag clúdach amas móréilimh an ama sin.
Van Morrison rose to prominence in the mid-1960s as the lead singer of the Northern Irish R and B and rock band, Them, with whom he recorded the garage band classic “Gloria”.
Tháinig Van Morrison chun suntais i lár na 1960idí mar phríomh-amhránaí an bhanna rac agus rac Thuaisceart Éireann agus Them, Them, a thaifead sé clasaiceach an bhanna garáiste “Gloria”.
His solo career began in 1967, under the pop-hit orientated guidance of Bert Berns with the release of the hit single “Brown Eyed Girl”.
Thosaigh a ghairm bheatha aonair i 1967, faoi threoir pop-dhírithe Bert Berns nuair a scaoileadh an singil iomráiteach “Brown Eyed Girl”.
After Bernss death, Warner Bros.
Tar éis bhás Berns, thug Warner Bros.
Records bought out his contract and allowed him three sessions to record Astral Weeks (1968).
Cheannaigh Records a chonradh agus thug sé trí sheisiún dó Astral Weeks (1968) a thaifeadadh.
Though this album gradually garnered high praise, it was initially a poor seller.
Cé gur mhol an t-albam seo ardmholadh de réir a chéile, díoltóir bocht a bhí ann i dtosach.
Morrison has a reputation for being at once stubborn, idiosyncratic, and sublime.
Tá cáil ar Morrison as a bheith righin, idiosyncratach agus sublime ag an am céanna.
His live performances at their best are seen as transcendental and inspired, while some of his recordings, such as the studio albums Astral Weeks and Moondance, and the live album Its Too Late to Stop Now, are highly acclaimed.
Feictear go bhfuil a chuid taibhithe beo ar a ndícheall tarchéimnitheach agus spreagtha, agus tá ardmholadh ag dul dá chuid taifeadtaí, mar na halbaim stiúideo Astral Weeks and Moondance, agus an t-albam beo It’s Too Late to Stop Now.
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.
Bhunaigh Moondance (1970) Morrison mar mhór-ealaíontóir, agus thóg sé ar a cháil i rith na 1970idí le sraith albam iomráiteach agus taibhithe beo.
He continues to record and tour, producing albums and live performances that sell well and are generally warmly received, sometimes collaborating with other artists, such as Georgie Fame and The Chieftains.
Leanann sé ag taifeadadh agus ag camchuairt, ag táirgeadh albam agus taibhithe beo a dhíolann go maith agus a mbíonn fáilte chroíúil rompu, ag comhoibriú uaireanta le healaíontóirí eile, mar shampla Georgie Fame agus The Chieftains.
