Golden Earring was a Dutch rock band formed in 1961 in The Hague, originally under the name the Tornados. The group achieved international fame with several major hits, including “Radar Love” in 1973, which topped the Dutch charts, reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, and climbed to number thirteen in the United States. Later successes included “Twilight Zone” (1982) and “When the Lady Smiles” (1984). Over the course of their career, Golden Earring released 25 studio albums and scored nearly thirty top‑ten singles in the Netherlands. After a series of early lineup changes, the band settled into its classic formation in 1970: Rinus Gerritsen (bass, keyboards), George Kooymans (vocals, guitar), Barry Hay (vocals, guitar, flute, saxophone), and Cesar Zuiderwijk (drums, percussion). This lineup remained intact for more than fifty years, until the band announced its breakup in 2021 following Kooymans’ diagnosis with ALS. George Kooymans passed away on July 22, 2025. Throughout their long history, several other musicians appeared with the group for shorter periods.
