Venus Mariska Veres 1947-2006 Shocking Jazz Q Rob Leeuwen Recorded for ZDF Public Broadcaster German

A goddess on a mountain top Was burning like a silver flame, The summit of beauty and love, And Venus was her name. She's got it, Yeah, baby, she's got it. Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire. Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire. Her weapon were her crystal eyes
Making ev'ry man mad;( Lament )

Black as a dark night she was,
Got what no one else had.
Wow!

She's got it,
Yeah, baby, she's got it.
Well, I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire at your desire.
Well, I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire at your desire.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

She's got it,
Yeah, baby, she's got it.
Well, I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire at your desire.
Well, I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire at your desire ------------------ writer (Tim) Timothy Rose Original Version written By Tim Rose First releaseThe banjo Song English & Than Was Writed Again By Robbie van Leeuwen Venus Song English & also This Song As : ■ Venus written by Vline Buggy, Claude Carrère - French ■Venus written by Simon Luca - Italia

"Venus"
Robbie van Leeuwen ( born 29 October 1944, in The Hague) is a Dutch musician who used to be the guitarist, sitarist, background vocalist and main songwriter for the Dutch bands The Motions, Shocking Blue and Galaxy-Lin. His most well-known compositions are Shocking Blue's most famous songs, Venus, which was an American no. 1 hit, Love Buzz, which was famously covered by Nirvana, and Demon Lover.

Originally the guitarist for the Motions, a Nederbeat band influenced by The Rolling Stones and The Pretty Things, he decided to start Shocking Blue as a Dutch equivalent of the Jefferson Airplane, who would combine a hard edged rock style with a powerful and attractive female vocalist. ----------------------------- Mariska Veres ( Born in The Hague 1 October 1947 - 2 December 2006) was a Dutch singer who was best known as the lead singer of the rock group Shocking Blue. Her appearance was striking, featuring kohl cosmetic-lined eyes, high cheekbones, and long jet black wig.

Veres began her career as a singer in 1963 with the guitar band Les Mysteres. In 1964 this band made an EP (GTB-label, 10 copies only) and Mariska is singing on side 1: Summertime (solo) and Someone (a duet). In 2010 this EP will be re-released by record club Platenclub Utrecht (PLUT 009). On www.platenclubutrecht.nl you can see the sleeve and listen to a part of Summertime. In 1965 she joined the Bumble Bees,the Blue Fighters, Danny and his Favourites and General Four in 1966, and the Motowns later in 1966. She also played organ in the last band. In 1968 she was invited to join Shocking Blue to replace lead singer Fred de Wilde who had to join the army. In 1969/1970 Shocking Blue gained worldwide fame with the hit single "Venus". The month of their arrival in the United States gossip columnist Earl Wilson referred to Veres as a beautiful busty girl.However, when she joined Shocking Blue she made it clear to the other band members that romantic relationships were not going to happen.

Shocking Blue split up on 1 June 1974; Veres continued in a solo career until the band was reunited in 1984. This comeback turned out to be successful, but one of the other original members, Robbie van Leeuwen, stepped back from the group, partly because he had moved to Luxembourg but also because of the success of Bananarama's cover of "Venus".

Mariska Veres started the jazz group The Shocking Jazz Quintet in 1993, and recorded an album ('Shocking You') with pop songs from the 60's and 70's, now in a jazz version. From 1993 to 2006 she performed in yet another reincarnation of Shocking Blue (recorded the songs 'Body and Soul' and 'Angel', both produced by former member Robbie van Leeuwen), and also recorded an album with Andrei Serban in 2003, named 'Gipsy Heart', going back to her Romani roots. A version of "Venus" was posthumously released in 2007, a few months after her passing away, recorded with pianist/bandleader Dolf de Vries (on the album "Another Touch"). Mariska has recorded "Venus" four times: with Shocking Blue (1969), with the Mariska Veres Shocking Jazz Quintet (1993), with Formula Diablos (in English/Spanish, 1997), and with Dolf de Vries (a lounge version of "Venus", 2005/2006).
