Golden Earring
From amg:
Best known in the U.S. for its hard rock material, Golden Earring has been the most popular homegrown band in the Netherlands since the mid-'60s, when they were primarily a pop group....1974's Moontan LP spawned the single "Radar Love," a Dutch number one, U.K. Top Ten, and U.S. number thirteen hit. The group toured America opening for the Doobie Brothers and Santana, but the lack of a follow-up ensured that their popularity remained short-lived in America....1982 saw a brief American comeback with the album Cut and the Top Ten single "Twilight Zone," but as before, Golden Earring could not sustain its momentum and faded away in the U.S. marketplace.

on their 1973 album Moontan, Radar Love is the highlight in Dutch 70's
rock history....On this site you find information concerning 200+ cover versions of Radar Love by U2, R.E.M., Bryan Adams, Carlos Santana, the Alarm, Crowded House,
