Van Morrison is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician-singer-songwriter Van Morrison (Someone like You, Moondance, Crazy Love, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
