I've never heard such a joyous song in my life. Listen to those horns; that voice. "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)" starts off Van Morrison's '72 album, Saint Dominic’s Preview, and what a way to begin. "I'm in heaven when you smile," he sings. It's not Shakespeare or anything groundbreaking lyrically but it sure as hell says a lot. How he wrote this song while his marriage was falling apart is beyond me.
