Van Morrison(born August 31, 1945 as George Ivan Morrison) is a singer and songwriter from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl — a unique mix of throaty folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences — Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll. Famed critic Greil Marcus has gone so far as to note that "No white man sings like Van Morrison." Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, penning their seminal 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career.

A New Kind of Man Lyrics
Van Morrison
Theres a voice cryin out in the wilderness
All your trails have not been in vain
And youre doin the best you know how to do
Gaining strength in the things that remain
Youre part of the plan
For a new kind of man to come through
Theres an angel thats watching right over you
All your trials have not been in vain
Wont you lift your head up to the starry night
Finding strength in the things that remain
Youre part of the plan
For a new kind of man to come through
When a man comes through
He must do what hes supposed to do
When a man comes through.
He cant do what everyone expects him
Wont you lift your head up to the mountain top
All your trials have not been in vain
Theres a light that keeps shining up ahead of you
Every step of the way that you take
Its part of the plan
For a new kind of man to come through
