Morrison has been on the scene for decades and shows no sign of slowing down.
Let’s take a closer look at how Van Morrison has accumulated his wealth over time.
But Van Morrison certainly does not fall into that category.
What did define his childhood, however, was his father’s record collection.
and he pointed at me and said: ‘You’re going to be a singer, obviously.’
And I said: ‘Me?’
He knew more than I did."
Does Morrison, himself, have the same love for the track?
Surprisingly, the answer is no.
In 2003, the song charted at No.
110 inRolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
If you don’t know “Moondance,” well, get listening.
Morrison was clearly onto something.
The hit single of the same title as the album also stands alone in its success.
“Moondance” took the 231st spot onRolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2003.
According toBillboard, the album stayed on the charts for a whopping 39 weeks.
As for how much money Morrison raked in from the album, the rough number requires some calculating.
As reported byDiscogs, the average sale of “Avalon Sunset” was $9.18.
The two welcomed a daughter before splitting in 1973.
But, here’s something we didn’t expect when digging into Van Morrison’s life and finances.
Morrison allegedly had an affair with his tour manager, Gigi Lee, in the mid-2000s.
She got pregnant, claimed the baby was Morrison’s, and gave birth to a son in 2009.
If you’re doing the math, you know that Morrison was married to Rocca at the time.
This devastating loss was made even worse when Lee, herself, died in 2011.
