@onehitwondered.bsky.socialIn 1969, Dutch rockers Shocking Blue earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their psychedelic dance-rockin’ “Venus” spent 13 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, including one week at the top spot! #ShockingBlue #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
@onehitwondered.bsky.socialInterestingly, Jerry Ross helped launch a Dutch invasion… While in Europe in late 1969 to set up distribution for his Heritage Records label, Ross heard Shocking Blue's "Venus" on a jukebox and was blown away. He secured the North American rights. #JerryRoss #ShockingBlue #OneHitWondered

Was burning like a silver flame
