Shocking Blue

So, I was listening to some oldies and I ran into one of my old favorites that I had nearly forgot about. They are called Shocking Blue. They are a band formed by Dutch musicians. They are of the late 60s early 70s. There are 4 members Robbie van Leeuwen on guitar, Fred DeWilde originally on Vocals. He was replaced by Mariska Veres. She is an incredible vocalist. She had such a powerful voice. She died of cancer in 2006. RIP. On Bass was Klaasje Van der Wal and on Drums was Cornelius Van Der Beek. They were an incredible line up and had many great albums. Some great songs are Send Me a Postcard, Shocking You, This America and many more. So go check them out. They are sure to provide many hours of enjoyable listening.
