At one of them, Frank Zappa even joined them on-stage. This Belfast five only produced two LPs and a potful of 7" singles during its ascendance in the molten heat of the British Invasion. The Story of Them is the definitive account of the short-lived outfit. Them were a formidable, popular group in their own right before singer Van Morrison went on to even greater fame. It's actually a pity, then, that Them relied so heavily on others' material (as did everyone else circa 1964), for the two dozen originals stand up well. Them - The Story Of Them Lyrics. Fifty remarkably consistent tracks are spread out over two discs, including R&B standards ("Stormy Monday," "Turn on Your Lovelight," "I Got a Woman") and Morrison originals that laid the groundwork … The Story of Them Featuring Van Morrison is a compilation album that includes almost every song recorded by the Northern Irish band Them during the two-year history of the band when it featured Van Morrison as the vocalist for the group. Although the band chose songs to cover by John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed (twice), T-Bone Walker, Ray Charles, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and Fats Domino, as seen here (as well as others by Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, and Bobby Troup), the real precedent for the white-hot, gnashing growl in Morrison's teenage voice was Howlin' Wolf. It was even more a weapon on this tougher-sounding material than it's been since he became a solo star. All songs written by Van Morrison except as noted, (In regards to the rechanneled tracks, + indicates sides using the Parrot rechanneled mixes with non-original added percussion, probably done for the 2LP Parrot anthology from the 1970s, ++ indicates sides using the Parrot rechanneled mixes from the second album, and +++ indicates demos that were slightly rechanneled when issued on LP in the 1960s in Germany, and they did not have the mono mixes available. In addition to "Gloria," Morrison was well on the road to his later genius when he penned "Could You, Would You" and "Hey Girl."

Everything about Them is in this double cd, even the fantastic blues "Story of Them" (parts one and two re-united), a Major Minor single rather unnoticed then. True, his material could stand to rock & roll more, just as the Yardbirds held fast to Chicago blues but made their beat stomp. The roots of garage rock are there. And is there a single bar band in America that doesn't play "Gloria," shouting "G-L-O-R-I-A" just like the 19-year-old Morrison in 1964? Here's a red-throated snarl not even other great '60s English white soul singers -- such as the Small Faces' Steve Marriott or the singer for the Action -- could match, one even more unsettling than the Animals' Eric Burdon. Moreover, the group's West Coast U.S. tour of arenas like the Fillmore in the spring of 1966 had the Ulster youths commanding bills that included such admiring support groups as the Doors, Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, the Grass Roots, and the Association. In Van Morrison's first life, he was singer of Them. But they did manage two Top 40 hits in America in 1965 (the enduring number 24 "Here Comes the Night," later covered glam-style by David Bowie on Pin Ups, and number 33 "Mystic Eyes") and two Top Ten hits that same year in their native Britain ("Here Comes the Night" and a cover of Joe Williams' "Baby Please Don't Go"). This Belfast five only produced two LPs and a potful of 7" singles during its ascendance in the molten heat of the British Invasion.
