Re: Them
Van Morrison and Them formed in Belfast in 1963 and came to England in 1964. They had two big hits, Baby Please Don't Go and Here Comes The Night. The flipside of the former was the Van Morrison-penned Gloria which sold a million copies in the US in 1966 via a cover version by Chicago garage band, the Shadows of Knight. Morrison left Them in 1966 and embarked on his solo career and the rest is history.
A little-known fact: Van Morrison and Them actually appeared in Accrington at the Majestic Ballroom at Christmas, 1965. They were awful!
