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.

Morrison, a cultural icon

Born in Belfast on August 31, 1945, Van Morrison's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Irish history. Morrison's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Van hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Van Morrison as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.

Happy Birthday, Van, you're the best!
