"Don't Start Cryin' Now" by Them

Van Morrison got his start in the Irish garage rock band Them in the mid-60s. They weren't together very long, but the band hinted at the talents that would make Morrison a household name. The band's name was inspired by the horror movie Them!

In the US, the band charted twice with "Gloria," which reached #93 in 1965 and #71 in 1966, the year Them broke up. Their best chart performance came with "Here Comes The Night," which peaked at #24. Their only other Top 40 hit in the US was "Mystic Eyes," which reached #33.

"Don't Start Cryin' Now," the band's first single, is an overlooked classic from 1964 originally done by blues artist Slim Harpo a few years earlier.
