I wonder if someone here can solve a puzzle that has been bugging me for a couple of years regarding a band's name and their song:
Early Seventies song I think (1972?) with a long dark haired female singer - could be the band in the photo I found with no name attached to it. I think they had one fairly big hit which is the song I can't recall.
Any ideas anyone?
Shocking Blue get played quite regularly on the oldies video channel here. I think that you will find that Venus was definitely their highpoint. On some of their tracks, like Send me a Postcard, they remind me of early Jefferson Airplane. A lot of the other tracks are simply dreadful. Railroad Man, Inkpot 😱 They do seem to have managed to have a 2cd Greatest Hits album. (I will have to check it out. I can't imagine that they had that many hits. However, the Dutch do love their own.)
Mariska Veres (the singer) died back in 2006.
Here's the search results from Yandex on uploading Paul's initial photo - all spot on (and each pointing back to site of origin). For future ref, I highly recommend it as a reverse image search engine - particularly good A.I. for faces and ambiguous images, etc. (Developed by Russian intelligence, it's rumoured, but publicly available). You click the little cross-hairs type icon in the search box for reverse image search (ie search by image).
