umbertino Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 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 almost always the best imho (except very rare cases) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocking_Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Nirvana rec'd a rendition of this one....As I said I usually love originals myself ( with all the due respect for Nirvana, mind you...RIP Kurt Cobain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Have always loved this one since the day I happened to listen ( summer 1970/71...I was 13/14) 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 sound....I deemed it sooo beautiful right away....That really sparked my interest for Indian music........
