When I was school boy back in the late 1960's and was going to take the bus to school during our weekday mornings and when I looked up in the morning sky to the west and seen planet Venus shining brightly in the sky, this song came into my mind and still today when I go to work early and see Venus in the morning sky this songs comes into my mind.
A song written in 1969 that became a no. 1 hit in 1970. My little known band ( The Sunshine Band ) was the first to perform it in The Corpus Christi,Texas area .My name is unimportant but l was the lead singer. We broke up in late 1972.

This song was a HUGE hit back in 1970..., the vocalist (Mariska Veres)had to sing the English version phonetically as she wasn't fluent..., God bless her; if any female rock singer was a godess, she sure was!
fabulous song, loved it in the 70's and now I am 70years young and learning tap dancing and we are dancing to this song, way to go........................
50+ years ago when I bought this vinyl, grooved to the tune. Had absolutely no clue then how stunningly Vanese was the heart, soul and subject of the recording. She is a Venus.
Cuando sonaba este tema en la disco "María Castaña" en San Lorenzo, Provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina, años 69/70 ¡la pista explotaba!. Querido y nostálgico recuerdo. 🕺💃
Не знаю больше ни одной песни этой группы, да это и неважно - мне достаточно одной этой замечательной песни, которая в 1970х годах просто сносила нам головы! VENUS песня на все времена!!!!
The song was originally issued in Holland, The Netherlands on the small, independent Pink Elephant label and was not mixed into true stereo. This is the echo-fied reprocessed stereo version that was released by Colossus Records in 1970. The song was very popular on Canada's CKLW station in Windsor, Ontario, and was issued on the first volume of "CKLW's Solid Gold Volume 1"oldies compilation on Philadelphia's Post label in 1971 (also in reprocessed stereo.)

Go girl!
Mariska Veres was among the most beautiful lead singers of the 1970s for the Dutch band, "The Shocking Blue."
Among? Her beauty is unquestioned. Her "eyes seized us!" Then her voice brought our focus back to the fact she's "Our Venus."

She is a Venus.

A CLASSIC!!!! # 10 on me top 100 songs of the 70's!!
An epic classic for sure.
The original version and by far the best.
This is not the original
The song was written by shocking blues guitarist Robbie Van Leeuwen.This is the original version of the song.
I played with you guys this exact song when I was 16 yrs old at Club Hacienda in Marcy NY
Vu ce groupe "les Shocking Blues" un samedi après-midi en 1969 dans une émission de l'ORTF, ce groupe jouait "Venus "
Хит всех времен и народов. Великая Маришка сейчас на небесах и пусть ей будет только хорошо, как нам, слушая её песни.

Thank God the original is getting played again. I have never forgiven the UK's Banarama and the Fun Boy Three for what they did to it in the 80's.
Actually that was unfair on the Fun Boy Three. I just checked and it was only Bananarama, and they absolutely murdered it, poor song!.
Ouço essa pérola musical maravilhosa desde 1970.
