One of the most underated bands of the 70's. Two hit wonder, "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone"

Well there is a saying, that famous entertainment actors and musicians die in 3's.

Malcom Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, and George Kooymans.

RIP George.

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"

...

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care

RIP. Saw them live .... in 1975.

Live performance, ‘73. Check out his leap at 4:22. Gets some air! Always liked this drummer, good technique. Plays loose, sounds tight, that’s where it’s at. Great bass line, but bassist doesn’t seem 100% comfortable here.

That was a fun song with a fantastic group performance.
Everybody in the group had their feature moment.
It was a very long song, too, from when FM Radio would play the long version of current hits.
The entire Radar Love song was 6 Minutes and 4 seconds.

Golden Earring formed in 1961, had the same lineup since 1970, that has to be a record for longevity.

Their epic version of Eight Miles High is supreme.

Radar love is cool. Rock In Peace. ALS at 77 may have made it quick. Still horrible, ALS is.

Oh Boy did I rock to this one.

It was on every jukebox in the 80’s.

Twilight Zone was Awesome as well.

RIP George.
