Thirty-two years after the release of "FREEDOM" the japanese band "TOKYO NO.1 SOUL SET"scores a TOP TEN HIT in Japan with a transcription of this "MOTIONS" single under the titel "Sunday"Composed by LEO BENNINK.

MUZIKANT BREEKT DOOR VIA INTERNET En dankzij het internet is Leo Bennink hard op weg om echt beroemd te worden. De gitarist en componist staat namelijk met 25 nummers in de top 100 van YOUTUBE. AD.NL 24 UUR PER DAG ACTUEEL NIEUWS. Leo Bennink is een veelzijdig artist,gitarist,componist,zanger en multi-instrumentalist,dat hij in de top 100 van youtube staat verbaasd mij niet,

Leo & Dihl Bennink have a long musical history behind them,both were members of two famous Dutch groups in the sixties Dihl(Tee Set)
Leo(The Motions)in 1996 they got the idea to join together and started the legendary guitar group The Black Albinos with Hoss on fenderbass,
It makes this band a true time capsule of one of the best guitar talents/bands in this world around.

Leo began as a guitar-player in 1959 with the Indo-Rock groups THE REAL RHYTHM TEENS and THE ROCKING SENSATION BOYS. In 1962 (17 years old) he started a professional career as a member of THE TWANGIES and he played for several years in Western Germa­ny. His last contract in Germany was with THE REBELS, in which he met drummer Leo Kappé. Back in Holland he played guitar in such guitar-groups as RENE & ALLIGATORS, THE SPECIALS, THE SPECIAL FIVE and THE BLACK ALBINO'S. With THE SPECIAL FIVE he recorded Silly Silly and it's his most remembered instru­men­tal. At that time Leo also was the first guit­arist in Holland, who could play all the Mosrite stuff from Nokie Edwards. In 1966 his career got a lift when he was a member of Dutch beat groups as THE JAY JAYS and THE MOTIONS. For THE JAY JAYS LP he also recorded Cruncher (from Ventures LP Surfing). With THE MOTIONS he toured all over Europe and even did concerts is the USA together with ERIC BURDON, FRANK ZAPPA, ALICE COOPER and THE MONKEES. In 1991 he was a member of the 'new' JUMPING JEWELS and a single was recorded for CNR with Hot Samba (written by Leo Bennink) and Dakota. Also released in Japan on CD (Sound Of Euro Instro/ CENTURY) together with a third track Africa. Leo is a real Strat-man, but in the mid-sixties he used his own build guitar 'Maserati' with 6 pick-ups and silver scratchplate. Since 6 years has Bennink a musicschool at home and he's teaching guitar, bass and keyboard and he's also producing modern r&b with new talents.

Met leeftijdsgenoot Jan Akkerman wordt de op 12 juni 1946 te Zwartsluis geboren Eelco Gelling veelal gezien als de beste uit Nederland afkomstige gitarist. Auto-didact Gelling begon zijn muzikale loopbaan in het begin van de jaren zestig in formaties als The Rocking Hurricanes en The Rocking Strings, waarmee in '62 de single "Autumn Leaves" en de EP "Black Rock" werd gemaakt, inmiddels absolute collector items. Eelco was destijds de zanger/gitarist, Hans Kinds de ritme- en Willy Middel de basgitarist. Het repertoire was voor die tijd modebewust, maar dat veranderde door de komst van zanger Harry Muskee in 1964. Niet alleen werd de bandnaam veranderd, eerst in The Sharks en vervolgens in Cuby + Blizzards, ook muzikaal veranderde er het nodige: Harry bracht de blues binnen de band en een eigen(wijze) uitstraling. De volgende acht jaar vormden Eelco en Harry de spil van wat uitgroeide tot de beste en meest legendarische bluesgroep die Nederland ooit rijk was. Eelco als begenadigd gitarist en componist, Harry als emotionele vocale speerpunt en indrukwekkende tekstschrijver. De eerste single verscheen in 1965, "Stumble And Fall"/"I'm So Restless", het jaar erop gevolgd door "LSD Got A Million Dollars"/"Your Body Not Your Soul", de eerste hit,"Back Home"/"Sweet Mary" en "Richard Cory"/"You Don't Know". En de eerste langspeler kwam uit.
