one of the first 45's i bought was Venus, $2.50 aussie dollars maate if i remember.
Thanks for the Love Buzz and 2 other tracks by ms Veres.
I really wish these artists didnt have to die(dont get me wrong, i appreciate the post) to inspire a tribute.
i heard she died -- makes me very sad. no one compares to her when she sings "send me a postcard" :( xo c
I fell in love with Mariska when I first saw her on TV performing *Venus* She wasn't a classic beauty but definitely had something about her.She had a certain air of mystery. I'm suprised to learn she never married, I wouldn't have minded snapping her up myself.
RIP Mariska...you'll be missed.
