Wikipedia: The Motions emerged at the end of 1964 from Ritchie & the Ricochets, in which Bennett and van Leeuwen played. This group played as the opening act for the Rolling Stones at the Kurhaus on August 8, 1964. The first single from The Motions was It's gone (written by Van Leeuwen) in December 1964. The single was placed at number 39 by Joost den Draaijer and associates for one week in the Veronica Top 40 at the beginning of 1965, without the sales figures giving rise to it. This made The Motions the first Dutch beat group to hit the charts. Den Draaijer (Willem van Kooten) did this more often, by way of a test balloon, as with Q65 (You're the victor).
