umbertino Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 RIP Mariska Veres - vocalist Huge hit in Europe in 1970 / 71 Song got a few renditions by various bands through the years but not even one worth mentioning imo Originals are still the best imho (except very few cases) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocking_Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Have always loved this one since the very 1st time I happened to listen ( circa 1971...I was 14) when I borrowed the cassette from a friend 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........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
