He started to perform it at the Maritime Hotel when he returned to Belfast and joined up with the Gamblers to form the band Them. He would ad - lib lyrics as he performed, sometimes stretching the song to 15 or 20 minutes. After signing a contract with Dick Rowe and Decca, Them went to London for a recording session at Decca Three Studios in West Hampstead on 5 April 1964 ; `` Gloria '' was one of the seven songs recorded that day. Besides Morrison, present were Billy Harrison on guitar, Alan Henderson on bass, Ronnie Millings on drums and Patrick John McCauley on keyboards. Rowe brought in session musicians Arthur Greenslade on organ and Bobby Graham on drums, since he considered the Them members too inexperienced. There remains some dispute about whether Millings and McCauley were miked up, but Alan Henderson contends that Them constituted the first rock group to use two drummers on a recording. Although some sources claim that Jimmy Page played second guitar, other sources deny this. `` Gloria '' was the B - side when `` Baby, Please Do n't Go '' was released in the U.K. on 6 November 1964. It was re-released in 1973 on the Deram label, but did not chart.

Acclaim One explanation for the timeless popularity of the song was offered in AllMusic 's review by Bill Janovitz : The beauty of the original is that Van Morrison needs only to speak - sing, in his Howlin ' Wolf growl, `` I watch her come up to my house / She knocks upon my door / And then she comes up to my room / I want to say she makes me feel all right / G-L-O-R-I-A ! '' to convey his teenage lust. The original Latin meaning of the name is not lost on Morrison. Them never varies from the three chords, utilizing only dynamic changes to heighten the tension. `` Gloria '' was rated number 69 on Dave Marsh 's list in the 1989 book The Heart of Rock & Soul : The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made. He described the song as `` one of the few rock songs that 's actually as raunchy as its reputation. '' In his book Rock and Roll : The 100 Best Singles, Paul Williams said about the two sides of the `` Baby Please Do n't Go / Gloria '' recording : `` Into the heart of the beast... here is something so good, so pure, that if no other hint of it but this record existed, there would still be such a thing as rock and roll... Van Morrison 's voice a fierce beacon in the darkness, the lighthouse at the end of the world. Resulting in one of the most perfect rock anthems known to humankind. '' Humourist Dave Barry joked that `` You can throw a guitar off a cliff, and as it bounces off rocks on the way down, it will, all by itself, play Gloria.
