Them was an Irish rock band formed in Belfast in 1964, most known for launching the career of lead singer Van Morrison. Their music, characterized by a distinctive blend of rhythm and blues, garage rock, and proto-punk, played a significant role in the British Invasion of the U.S. music scene. Notable tracks include "Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night", both of which have been covered extensively by other artists and stand as influential works in rock music history. Despite their short existence, Them's innovative sound left a lasting impact on the rock genre.
