TinBadge Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I was just watching YouTube vids today and came across Venus. Mariska Veres was amazing back in the 60s. It’s weird that you just posted this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted January 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Have always loved this one since the very 1st time I happened to listen ( circa 1971...I was 14) when a friend loaned me the cassette for a few days....... I guess that was the 1st time in my life I got to hear a sitar's sound....I deemed it sooo beautiful right away....That really sparked my interest for Indian music........

Never got to see them though because they were a UK band. love the tube for the old footage. It all started when I found old footage of Procol Harum - whiter shades of pale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a Dutch band....Their songs became very popular in Italy and most of Western Europe at the end of the 60's..... Sorry...Out of pluses at the moment.....
