Golden Earring is a Dutch {{Hard Rock}} band formed in 1961 and split up in 2021 when guitarist George Kooymans was diagnosed with ALS disease, making them the [[LongRunners longest runner]] when it comes to Rock music. They had two big hits with "Radar Love" (1973) and "Twilight Zone" (1982) and enjoyed general international success in the [[TheSeventies '70s]] and [[TheEighties '80s]]; other songs, such as "Candy's Going Bad", "Instant Poetry", "Sleepwalkin'", "The Devil Made Me Do It", "Quiet Eyes", and "When the Lady Smiles" were smaller hits. They are the most successful Dutch rock act by a fairly large margin.
