  • His Band and the Street Choir is Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison's fourth solo album, released in 1970. The album was originally to be called Virgo's Fool. In America the album was as well received as Moondance upon its release, mainly through its sampler single "Domino", which topped "Brown Eyed Girl" as a Top Ten single. Two other singles from the album were produced. Although they were less successful, they still charted in the Top 100. "Domino" remains the only song on the album to have been included in any compilation album by Morrison.
  • His Band and the Street Choir es el cuarto álbum de estudio del músico norirlandés Van Morrison, publicado en 1970. En un principio, el álbum fue planeado para editarse bajo el nombre de Virgo's Fool. En América, el álbum fue, al igual que su predecesor, Moondance, bien recibido por la crítica, especialmente su primer sencillo, "Domino", que alcanzó el Top Ten de las listas de singles. Otros dos singles extraídos del álbum, a pesar de obtener un menor éxito, también entraron en las listas de éxitos.
  • L'échec de ce projet peut sans doute être en partie imputé à sa maison de disque d'alors, Warner Music Group, qui lui demandait de produire du tube. Ce que fit Van Morrison (il était encore jeune... - plus tard, il n'écoutera plus personne, et surtout pas ses maisons de disque !) en fournissant trois simples extraits de son album His Band and the Street Choir, Domino (9 au classement des meilleures ventes US), Blue Money (23 US) et Call Me Up In Dreamland (95 US). Musicalement, l'album est un peu une radicalisation de Moondance, avec des chansons subissant plus directement encore les influences américaines de Van Morrison comme le rythm and blues (Give Me a Kiss, Blue Money, Sweet Jannie), la soul (If I Ever Needed Someone) ou le funk (I've Been Working). De plus, ce disque est d'un optimisme plus débordant encore que Moondance. Quelques dialogues en studio conservés entre les chansons laisse supposer une ambiance détendue dans les studios, que les photographies de la pochette (vie communautaire entre les familles des musiciens, hippie style en plein Woodstock) tendent à confirmer. Ce trop plein de rose rebutera parfois les fans du chanteur (et lui-même aussi, d'ailleurs), pour qui rien ne peut surpasser la voix de Van lorsqu'elle explore des émotions plus douloureuses. Pourtant, pourquoi refuser ? Commentaire de Van Morrison : "Je ne crois vraiment pas que cet album exprime grand-chose. Je voulais faire un disque a cappella avec peut-être une guitare, mais ça n'a pas marché; c'est devenu bizarre. A un moment, j'ai perdu le contrôle de cet album. Quelqu'un s'en est emparé, et de la pochette et de toute cette merde pendant que j'étais sur la côte ouest. Je préfère ne pas penser à ce disque parce qu'il ne montre pas ce que je ressentais. On était sur mon dos pour me faire dire quelque chose en sachant que c'était faux. Quelques chansons furent des tubes mais l'album ne se vendit pas bien et j'en suis très content. " Les crédits de la pochette sont signés Janet Planet. L'album a atteint la 32 place du top US.
