Context: Sir George Ivan "Van" Morrison, OBE (born 31 August 1945) is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter, instrumentalist and producer.

The Best of Van Morrison Volume 3 is a compilation album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, that was released on 11 June 2007 in the UK with a digital version released in the U.S. on iTunes Store, on 12 June 2007.  Manhattan/EMI Music Catalog Marketing released the CD version of the album on 19 June 2007 in the United States.  This new two-disc collection of 31 tracks has been compiled by Morrison himself.  It offers an overview of his large volume of material since the release of "The Best of Van Morrison Volume Two" in 1993.  The album's thirty-one tracks include previously unreleased collaborations with Tom Jones ("Cry For Home") and Bobby Bland ("Tupelo Honey") as well as duets with John Lee Hooker, B.B. King and Ray Charles.  The 2003 duet with Ray Charles is "Crazy Love" a song originally recorded on Morrison's 1970 album "Moondance".  "Blue and Green" was previously donated to be used on the charity album "", which raised money for relief efforts intended for Gulf Coast victims devastated by hurricane Katrina.  The duet with Tom Jones, "Cry For Home" was taken from the same recording sessions that produced the "Sometimes We Cry" duet between the two artists, which featured on Jones' successful album "Reload".  "Cry for Home" was released as a single on 4 June 2007 in the UK, and was followed by "Blue and Green" on 27 August. The Sailor's Revenge is the eighth solo album by Bap Kennedy.  The album was produced by Mark Knopfler.  All eleven songs were written by Bap Kennedy. Van Morrison: Too Late to Stop Now is a biography of musician Van Morrison, written by Steve Turner.  It was first published in 1993 in the United States by Penguin Group, and in Great Britain by Bloomsbury Publishing.  Turner first met Van Morrison in 1985; he interviewed approximately 40 people that knew the subject in his research for the biography.  Van Morrison did not think positively of the biography, and multiple newspapers reported he attempted to purchase all of the book's 25,000 copies.  He sent a letter to the author asserting the 40 individuals interviewed for the book were not his friends, and accused Turner of "peddling distortions and inaccuracies about me personally". No Prima Donna: The Songs of Van Morrison released in October 1994 is the first tribute album for the songs of singer-songwriter Van Morrison.  The album was produced by Van Morrison and his friend for many years, Phil Coulter.  Morrison's longtime girlfriend, Michelle Rocca was the model on the cover of the album.  Morrison was actively involved in choosing the songs and the artists who performed them, which is unusual for most tribute albums. Martin Christopher Kennedy (17 June 1962 – 1 November 2016), known as Bap Kennedy, was a singer-songwriter from Belfast, Northern Ireland.  He was noted for his collaborations with Steve Earle, Van Morrison, Shane MacGowan and Mark Knopfler, as well as for writing the song "Moonlight Kiss" which was on the soundtrack for the film "Serendipity". Howl On the fourth solo studio album by Bap Kennedy, was released on August 3, 2009 (see 2009 in music) on Kennedy's new label, Lonely Street Discs.  Excluding a cover of "Hey Joe", all songs on the album were written by Kennedy.  This is the first album he has written and recorded in his native Northern Ireland.  This album features songs that were inspired by Kennedy's childhood memories of growing up with the influence of the popular American music rock icons Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix and the country music of Hank Williams.  The songs also relate to 1960s American political figures: John F. Kennedy and to events: the 1969 moon landing and with Kennedy's childhood obsession with the American Dream.  Although the worldwide release was August 3, 2009, the album was released in Northern Ireland on July 4, 2009 with Kennedy's appearance at the Black Box in Belfast.

It was first published in 2005 by Secker & Warburg, and another edition was published by Vintage Books in 2006.  Rogan interviewed musicians and friends of Morrison, and spent 20 years researching the book and four years writing it.  The book is comprehensive, and goes into detail about multiple facets of Morrison's life.  Rogan recounts Morrison's youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and how early experiences there informed his music.  He discusses how Morrison joined various bands before experiencing success with "Them".  Morrison later signed a contract with Bert Berns and moved to New York, where he became quite popular after recording "Brown Eyed Girl" and albums "Astral Weeks" and "Moondance".  Rogan comments on Morrison's exploration of spirituality, and describes how these experiences influenced his musical work.  The biography discusses Morrison's move to Britain and then Dublin, and his relationship with model Michelle Rocca. Energy Orchard were a guitar-based rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s, from Belfast, Northern Ireland.  Fronted by Bap Kennedy (brother of singer-songwriter Brian Kennedy), their style drew heavily on the influence of Van Morrison and other rhythm and blues acts, but incorporated traditional elements of Irish folk music.  The band emerged from the remnants of two other Belfast-based punk/new wave bands, The Bank Robbers and 10 Past 7.
