Tonight's listen is Gonna take a miracle by Laura Nyro and Labelle
Bobby Gillespie name-checked this and another big fave of mine East of the River Nile by Augustus Pablo in a magazine interview - it might have been the one the Observer used to do. Good taste has Bobby

Really struggle to divorce Van the Man (pun not intended) from his music. Which probably means I don't much like the music I guess.

I listened to Astral Weeks years ago, didn't much like it and never bothered with anything else Van Morrison had done. Reading this thread made me think I should give it another go. And...yeah, I haven't changed my mind. His voice is really grating, and that's before you even go near the twinkly easy listening piano and the pipes and flute and all that *folk* nonsense. To be fair to him I have also given Veedon Fleece a listen this evening, as that was recommended. And no, that didn't change my mind either...

Van Morrison is an odious old toad but as a young man he made some truly astounding music
I saw him live in thd late 90's (I think) and he had young Daniel O' Donnell singing for him

'You: O'Donnell! Sing for me! Sing for me boy!'
(I'm picturing that bit in Lord of the Rings where Denethor makes Pippin sing while everyone else goes into battle)
