IN AMERICA Van Morrison has gained the status he deserves as a star, drawing capacity crowds to allhis concerts and with record releases figuring highly in both singles and album charts. He is a comparatively new name of the past year or so to this island while a few hundred miles away in Belfast he is a living legend, the magic of which increases with each step he takes up the ladder of fame. About five years ago Van aggressively led a group called Them, who have become to Belfast and Ireland what the Beatles are, or were, to Liverpool and England. During the group's very stormy career Them had about a dozen personnel changes and produced two fine albums, 'Them' and 'Them Again'. The latter contained Van'sexcellent interpretationof'It'sAll BY PAUL CHARLES Over Now Baby Blue', one of Dylan's best loved songs, and Van's own classic, 'Hey That happened sometimesucceededinlettingthese Girl' which was a very briefduring 1967, but just beforeout inhis music until he RORRIE SPECTOR samplerof what wastothat success Van once againwrotethebrilliant'Astral follow with 'Astral Weeks'.returned to Britain only toWeeks'rockopera.Eight and Van's own classic, 'Heyfindhecouldn'tsecureselectionsfrom this opera Girl' which was a very briefmany gigs,even at £10 acompose the brilliant 'Astral 117py Some Buy Some' samplerof what wastonight.
