In 1999, Morrison was inducted into the Irish Music Hall of Fame, followed by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.Ĭrafting a collection of songs spanning 44 albums, from Blowin’ Your Mind! in 1967 through his most recent 2023 release Moving on Skiffle, a few of Morrison’s songs also stretched outside of his core songbook. Within his short time with Them, the band was ultimately the launch pad for his solo career. Them’s hits “Baby, Please Don’t Go” and “Here Comes the Night” fastened around the songs penned by Morrison, including “My Lonely Sad Eyes,” “I Like It Like That,” and “Gloria”-the latter covered by The Doors and Patti Smith for her 1975 debut.
