October 9, 1971 –
Van Morrison released one of his most popular songs, Wild Night, on this date.
One of his few songs with mass appeal, and proof that he could write a terrific Pop song whenever he desired. Morrison, however, generally shied away from couplets like “Come on out and dance, come on out, make romance” in favor of more esoteric offerings, which earned him a devoted following and critical praise.
