	John Lee Hooker
		The strength of Hooker's longstanding relationship with Van Morrison is reflected on their duets which show each one at ease with the other's material.
		In fact, the one track on Don't Look Back that wasn't recorded this year is their duet on "Rainy Day," a song John wrote on the way to the "Gloria" studio session that was recorded the same day.
		Hooker then gets playful on "I Love You Honey" and gives us his signature driving boogie on "Spellbound." And Jimi Hendrix is done proud on "Red House," a favorite of Hooker's and a song he recently promised Hendrix' father and sister he would record for this album.

	Beetcafe.com - The Rockford Illinois Area Entertainment Guide
		Kaye was first hired by Joe Kelley, the former bass player for Shadows of Knight, a group that made a #1 hit of Van Morrison's song "Gloria" in the '60s.
		Kaye is one of the few bassists who possesses lead guitarist stage presence, also working as band leader, lead vocalist, back-up vocalist, song-writer/arranger, bass-line composer, and emcee.
		As for his approach, Kaye's philosophy is that "bass is not meant to be heard, but to be felt." The spectacular, pulsating, varied solos he offers are impressive, giving one the notion that it's not quite as easy as he makes it look.

		The band also covered Van Morrison's "Gloria" with Petty going into an improvisational rap, and although it wasn't as good as the original, Petty did one of his rock 'n' roll idols justice.
		The band's oldest song of the night was definitely the biggest hit with the crowd.
		Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were formed in Los Angeles in 1976, and since then the band has released nine studio albums.

	Satanosphere Death Watch '04: Laura Branigan, D-Roc from Body Count
		Branigan's hit song "Gloria" -- which, if you confuse it with the Van Morrison/Them version, might mean you might want to get that head problem checked out -- was all over the pop music stratosphere in 1982, despite the best efforts of scientists and faith healers.
		Branigan's death was the most tragically unexpected -- she had complained of headaches two weeks before, but had not sought out medical attention.
		Branigan's final Top 10 hit was "Self-Control," from the album of the same name, whose title temporarily puzzled album collectors who had trouble with alphabetization.

	essays & effluvia: 50 Best Cover Songs
		For her debut album, Horses, she enlisted a full rock band, but, on Gloria, its opening track, the same spirit of poetic licence ran free, as Smith turned Van Morrison's libido-driven beat tune into a hymn of self-determining spirituality.
		Only divine inspiration could explain how, or why, New York's bendiest band came to pop Pink Floyd's balloon of pretension by re-recording their most horribly self-regarding song in the style of the Saturday Night Fever-era Bee Gees.
		The Australian band took one vaguely insincere hip-hop apology (inspired by Andre 3000's break-up with Erykah Badu) and turned it into an epic lament for love turned sour.

	CBC.ca - Arts - Music - Horse Whispers
		Patti Smith was in love with rock ’n’ roll and all its reckless consequence; she peppered most every song with the word “baby,” she poached Gloria from Van Morrison and Land of a Thousand Dances from Cannibal and the Headhunters and curdled them righteously.
		Smith looks like she’s dressed up for a hot date with the apocalypse, tarry smudges on her drawn cheeks in place of rouge.
		Smith captured our Vietnam hangover with a diarist’s drift, her ache precise, her melancholy deep-felt, swinging sweet and violent.
