Shocking Blue:
Many don't know it, but the Hague group Shocking Blue were already making records before Mariska Veres entered as their singer in 1968. During that initial period (1967-68), the lineup was: Robbie van Leeuwen (vocals, guitar, ex-Motions), Fred de Wilde (vocals, ex-Hu & Hilltops), Klaasje van der Wal (bass) and Cor van Beek (drums, ex-Sect). In 1968, Fred was replaced by Mariska, who had already made a solo single in 1965. She was discovered by manager Cees van Leeuwen at the jazz festival in Loosdrecht. She already had some group experience, with the  Bumble Bees.

With "Venus", Shocking Blue scored an international hit, but, unfortunately, the decay of the group began shortly thereafter.  Constant changes in the lineup were to blame, for one thing: in 1970, Leo van de Ketterij came on board, to boost the group as the second guitarist, but he left less than a year later. Also in 1971 Klaasje, who departed to join Antilope, was succeeded by Henk Smitskamp, ex-Sandy Coast.  In 1973 Robbie withdrew himself from the position as a lead guitarist, and on stage had to be replaced by Martin van Wijk, ex-Jupiter.
In 1974, the group broke up.  Robbie formed Galaxy Lin, a short-lived jazz-rock outfit, and later - another studio outfit Mistral; Cor and Martin went to Lemming; Mariska continued making a number of solo records. Henk went on to join Livin' Blues.
