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.

Boogie Chillen Lyrics
Van Morrison
Spoken:
When I first came to town, people
I was walking down hasting street
Everybody was talkin about, henry swing club
I decided to stop in there for awhile
And man, when I got there
Yeah, they were really havin a ball
Sings:
Well, I feel so good
I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie
Well, to the break of day
(say, it again)
Well, I feel so good
I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie
Well, to the break of day
(alright)
When I was a young boy
I was layin down one night
And I heard ma and pa talkin
I heard pa tell ma
Hey, come on, let that boy boogie-woogie
cause you know its in him
And its just got to come out
cause its in him
And its just got to come out
Well, feels so good, child
I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie
Lord, til the break-a day
(chillen, Im chillen here)
Well, feels so good, now lord
I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie
Yeah-ow, til the break of day
