ROCK CALENDAR: February 7, 1970. - the song "Venus" comes first in the USA!

Dutch group Shocking Blue in 1969 released album, in which was hit all since the – the legendary Venus "Venus"! Ah, what drive had this song! She sounded on the radio, on television and at concerts – but she knew all the dances and many waited for the sounding of these chords convulsive entry to break into a dance... the Song is very simple, small words (two short verse and chorus) – so to learn the words was not difficult even for those who not only anglitsskaya – but Russian spoken with difficulty... Who not only sang it then! But success has achieved only the English Bananarama with his idiotic disco version.

Venus is the most famous song of the band Shocking Blue. On February 7, 1970, it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the same year, the song reached the top of the American and five European charts (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, France).

It was not in the 70's club with dancing, where Amateur groups sang "Venus". Who is better, who is worse – but the success had everything. It was the easiest way for a self-taught musician to become famous. What's interesting – I don't remember her somewhere forbidden, though the Russian version, oddly enough – was not.

I picked you up a very catchy cover of this song – transmitting the energy of this song in a modern sound.
