Crazy Love - James Lanman (Van Morrison Cover)

This week it's back to the basics with this Van Morrison cover. A couple good friends once asked me to sing this at their wedding and I had never heard it before(believe it or not). Now it's one of my favorite songs in the world and one of the first covers I put out that really got a good response. It's as close to a perfect song as you can get. Van Morrison is incredible.

From Wikipedia:
"Crazy Love" is a romantic ballad written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and included on his 1970 album, Moondance. The song was originally released as the B-side to "Come Running" in May 1970 before it was released as a single in the Netherlands, "Come Running" as the B-side. The cover of the single shows Morrison with his then-wife, Janet "Planet" Rigsbee. The photograph was taken by Elliot Landy, the official photographer of the 1969 Woodstock festival.

Ray Charles introduced Van Morrison by starting the first verse before Van's appearance when he was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2003. Morrison and Charles then finished with a duet of "Crazy Love". Ray Charles remarked about this performance: "It meant a lot to sing 'Crazy Love' on stage that evening."[3] Genius Loves Company, Ray Charles' 2004 album, includes this duet featuring the two singers. Van Morrison and Bob Dylan sang a duet of "Crazy Love" on the BBC film, One Irish Rover in 1991."

So confused as to why this doesn’t have thousands of views. This is the best cover of this song by far. Maybe not enough people listen to Van Morrison. Absolutely beautiful job!
