Equal parts blue-eyed soul shouter and wild-eyed poet-sorcerer, Van Morrison is among popular music's true innovators, a restless seeker whose incantatory vocals and alchemical fusion of R&B, jazz, blues, and Celtic folk produced what is regarded as perhaps the most spiritually transcendent body of work in the rock 'n' roll canon

Hailed by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time, Morrison's Moondance was an immediate and commercial success after the Northern Irish singer-songwriter released it on February 27, 1970

After the commercial failure of his first Warner Bros. album Astral Weeks (1968), Morrison moved to upstate New York with his wife and began writing songs for Moondance

There, he met the musicians that would record the album with him at New York City's A & R Studios in August and September 1969

The album found Morrison abandoning the abstract folk jazz compositions of Astral Weeks in favor of more formally composed songs, which he wrote and produced entirely himself

Its lively rhythm and blues/rock music was the style he would become most known for in his career

The music incorporated soul, jazz, pop, and Irish folk sounds into songs about finding spiritual renewal and redemption in worldly matters such as nature, music, romantic love, and self-affirmation

Moondance helped establish Morrison as a major pop music artist while several songs from the album, including the title track, became staples of FM radio in the early 1970s

Rolling Stone's updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time has Moondance at No. 120
