Fred de Wilde (vocals)
Klaasje van der Wal (bass guitar)
Cor(nelius) van der Beek (d. April 2, 1998; drums)
In 1968, Mariska Veres (b. October 1, 1947 d. December 2, 2006) [1] replaced Fred de Wilde as lead singer.

History
They had a hit world-wide with the song "Venus," which went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1970. (Note: this song was NOT the same song with which Frankie Avalon hit back in 1959.) The song was immediately covered at the year of its release by Greek pop band Olympians, with entirely different lyrics in Greek and retitled as "Το Κορίτσι Του Μάη" (To koritsi tou Mai - The girl of May). It was later part of the Stars on 45 Medley (which put it at #1 in 1981), and covered by British girl band Bananarama in the 1980s (who took it back to #1 again) (1986) and Japanese singer Yoko Nagayama (also in 1986).

Hugely popular American band Nirvana covered 'Love Buzz' for their first album 'Bleach'. The British Group The Prodigy also sampled "Love Buzz" for their song 'Phoenix' on their 2004 album Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. Ladytron included the song 'Send Me a Postcard' on their compilation album 'Ladytron's Softcore Jukebox'.

Before the breakthrough of "Venus," the group had two minor hits in 1969: "Long Lonesome Road" and "Send Me A Postcard." The flip-side of "Venus" was also heavily plugged on Dutch radio ("Hot Sand"). In 1970 two more hits followed: "Mighty Joe" and "Never Marry a Railroad Man" (flip-side "Roll Engine Roll"). In 1971 "Hello Darkness," "Shocking You" and "Blossom Lady." In 1972 "Inkpot," "Out of Sight Out of Mind" and "Eve and the Apple," and in 1973 "Rock In The Sea" - just to name the big hits. In 1974 female singer Mariska Veres left the group to start a solo career. The only big hit by her was "Take Me High" in 1975. From the 1990s, Veres toured with a new group under the Shocking Blue banner, with permission of her former bandmates.

In December 2006, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that Mariska Veres had just died at the age of 59 from cancer.
