The Heart of Rock and Soul

One of the few rock songs that's actually as raunchy as its reputation - unless you think she's going up to his room for a chat. Van Morrison sings "Gloria" in a lustful croak, like a demented, horny frog, but it wouldn't mean much without the wicked guitar, reputedly played by Jimmy Page, which completes an air as exotic as it is erotic. (Appropriately, given what Morrison - and Page for that matter - were to get up to later.) The best truly dirty record ever.
