De este irlandés multi-instrumentista se han dicho muchas cosas, pero la más acertada fue "ningún hombre blanco canta como Van Morrison". Y así es, George Ivan Morrison -conocido por todos como Van Morrison- da un toque a su música especial, donde su fusión de folk, blues, country, gospel, e incluso música tradicional irlandesa, definen a la perfección su sonido Blue-eyed soul, dotándolo algunos incluso de un género propio denominado celtic soul. A ello hay que sumarle su espectacular voz; ronca y semejante a un bálsamo de aceite a la hora de transmitir emociones. Capaz de estremecerte gracias a su rango extenso y variable que le han hecho acreedor del sobrenombre de "The Belfast Lion" (El león de Belfast). Desde sus comienzos a finales de la década de los años 50 como saxofonista, hasta el dia de hoy, no ha parado de crear escuela en generaciones de músicos a través de todas las décadas gracias a su rico legado musical. Recompensado con la Orden del Imperio Británico y la Orden de las Artes y las Letras, así como por 6 premios Grammy o un premio Brit. Incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en 1993 y en el de la Fama Musical de Irlanda en 1999, además del Salón de la Fama de los Compositores en 2003. Varios doctorados honoris causa por la Universidad del Ulster y la Universidad Queen’s de Belfast..., en fin, un "gentleman" todo corazón al que tenemos que agradecer su generosidad por habernos hecho disfrutar y sentir con la música.
Todo un blanco lleno de espiritualidad y alma propia de un nativo del Mississippi, un visionario musical del siglo XX que por fortuna continúa hoy en día sorprendiéndonos con nuevos trabajos de una calidad digna del maestro que fue y sigue siendo.

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
For the morning sun and all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort, too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow, you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you

You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness

Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
