CAFFE` LATTE` TOP 2000 TRACKS

#166 MOONDANCE Van Morrison
After launching his solo career with "Brown Eyed Girl" in 1967, Van Morrison wowed critics and the public with 'Astral Weeks' the following year. His 3rd solo album was 'Moondance' in 1970. Its title track is an aural delight. 
Morrison penned the song himself and co-produced it with Lewis Merenstein. The Irish vocalist delivers another blue-eyed soul performance, set amidst a jazzy, upbeat feel. The track was not released as a single until 1977. 
In the years following the album's release, Morrison has issued other noteworthy singles such as "Domino", "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)" Bright Side of the Road" and "Have I Told You Lately". Morrison's most recent album release was dropped in 2012. 
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
A new song from the Top 200 is added each day, while another 2 are also included from positions 1501-2000 daily. Check back here every 12 hours for an update of the 2000.
