These Are The Songwriters Who Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank

Van Morrison – $90 million

Greatest Hits: Brown Eyed Girl, Gloria
You cannot speak about the legendary Van Morrison without mentioning how he began performing professionally as a teenager. He was a part of Them, the R&B Irish outfit that toured Ireland extensively along with several showbands. The man would later produce Gloria, which would create an entirely new understanding of the genre along with his band. Brown-Eyed Girl came out towards the end of the 1960, which was probably his most successful song. Astral Weeks was his first solo album, which did not perform too well at first. His second album, however, became a massive hit, called Moondance.
