Misc = "I Will Be There" is a song featured on Northern Irish singer/songwriter Van Morrison's sixth album "Saint Dominic's Preview" (1972). This song is the B-side to Warm Love, released in 1973.
The song features piano from Tom Salisbury, who also arranged the song. Also featured in the song is a saxophone solo from long serving Jack Schroer. John Collis says, "A hero (of Van), is evoked by the piano-led blues "I Will Be There" -the spirit of Ray Charles looms large in the song." [Collis, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, p.132] "I Will Be There" goes the furthest of any (of the songs in "Saint Dominic's Preview") into R&B-jazz roots, as Van pays expert musical tribute to Count Basie and Joe Williams.
