The Big3 - The Banjo Song (Oh Suzanna!) 1963

It's a song that woke up everyone. A myth about "Shoocking Blue" song "Venus" became very popular. However, i put this track here not for a rumors, but for a song quality. I think it's one of the greatest Big 3 songs. Tim Rose just knocked out other members with his incredible ranges... Just a great song! They also appeared on a "Guest Star" with that song in the same year, 1963. Well, enjoy Cass, Tim, And James :)

Robbie van Leeuwen you sneaky bastard

@mariskaveresforever

No, they didn't. The traditional "Oh Suzanna" has nothing whatsoever to do with this song!

[jaakriaj]

Shocking Blue stole it... for sure!

[64roncess]

Nothing new in this world...

I like both songs, the Big3's and the Shocking Blue's. The great spirits encounter each other. :)))

Is no-one interested in just listening and saying how great this sounds, and I love hearing Cass Elliot even if only in the background.

i just googled , Tim Rose died in 2002 and never he said that venus was stolen , by the singles recorded by big 3 you don t find the banjo song .There is a reason that Van Leeuwen could get away with it .

[walter4092]

allrright , this is from 63 and venus is recorded in 69 .You must be deaf not to hear that it is the same melody .But when Venus made it to nr 1 begin 1970 in the states , no one complaines , not even mama Cass .George Harrison is convicted of plagarism , they say it was like he is so fine and that was a big mistake in my opinion .

Whatever ....... after 50 year they find out that Venus is stolen ............. very strange

Certainly a great ressemblance to Venus from Shocking Blue!
