Song of the Day: Moondance

Moondance by Van Morrison. Released in 1970 on Van Morrison’s third studio album, which also featured the same title, Moondance. Funny enough though, while the song was released on an album in 1970, it wasn’t until 1977 when the song was released as a single. 7 years is definitely the longest gap I’ve seen in a song being released on an album vs a single by the same artist. The song never charted the first time and only hit 92 on the charts in 1977. Despite all this, it is still one of Van Morrison’s most well known songs and it is one of the song’s he plays the most at his concerts.
