Them - the band that started Van Morrison's career

While at work yesterday I was listening to Classic hits (Thanks to my mate bruce, and we are now obsessed), when a sick song I have always loved but never really known came on.

The chef came out and was all like "This is Van Morrison before he hit his solo career with the band called 'Them'. Something I did not know but was stoked to learn.

Morrison left the band in 1966 to go onto a very successful career.

The band was formed in 1964 in Belfast. The original band consisted of Morrison, Ronnie Millings, Alan Henderson, Billy Harrison and Eric Wrixon. 






This song never fails to send shivers of 1960's amazingness down my jiggling spine.
