Van Morrison and John Lee Hooker - Gloria
From Wiki:
"Gloria is a rock song written by Van Morrison and originally recorded by Morrison's band Them in 1964 as the B-side of "Baby Please Don't Go", which reached #10 on the UK charts. It later reached #71 on the U.S. charts in 1966.
It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
The song quickly become a garage rock staple and a rock standard, part of many rock bands' repertoires. It is particularly memorable for its "G-L-O-R-I-A" chorus. It is very easy to play (three-chords) and thus is popular with those learning to play guitar. Humorist Dave Barry joked that, if you drop a guitar down a flight of stairs, it will play "Gloria" on its way to the bottom.
The timeless popularity of the song may be best explained in a review written by Bill Janovitz(All Music): "The beauty of the original is that Van Morrison needs only to speak-sing , in his Howlin' Wolf growl to convey his teenage lust. "Them" never varies from the three chords, utilizing only dynamic changes to heighten the tension."[1]
Them's version of the song is included in Van Morrison's 2007 compilation album, Van Morrison at the Movies - Soundtrack Hits.
The song continues to be played by thousands of bands from famous recording artists to unknown garage bands.
