My older brother played that song so often on his guitar and sang it I was close to bribing him to stop. 😱
Was “Here Comes the Night” more successful?
Another good one. The Shadows Of Knight version was cool too.
During Hurricane Gloria the oldies station in Virginia Beach played it continuously!
Love the content! I'll take the Patti Smith version please or Shadows of Knight or…I guess I just love the song
OUCH, that last thing. Van Morrison made nuttin' in songwriter royalties. That's just wrong.
So lucky to be a child of the '60s, we definitely had the best music by far….
Every band played Gloria at our dances in the 60’s. That and Louie Louie by the Kingsman…
Them. Hmm
Back in the late 60s. It was the song bands turned to. Every dance we attended. We knew we were going to get 'Gloria. We knew it and we loved it.
Get the live Hendrix version…
Nice to see an original UK 45. Them's Decca recordings are pretty amazing.
Buy yourself a van, then tell everyone who steps into it "this is Morrison"
