Hilco ter Heide (vocals, composition)
Gerard van Tongeren (vocals, guitar)
Ely van Tongeren (lead guitar, vocals)
Maarten Assink (drums, vocals)
Bob Luiten (bass, vocals)
Benny de Groot (keyboards, vocals)
The first single from 1967 Tomorrow is another day / My world fell down (two songs from the British The Ivy League) enters the charts.
1968 was a great year for the band: It's the end comes to number 4 in the charts and also the singles Sister Theresa's East River Orphanage, Lovely Loretta, and Goodbye my love reach the top 40. The first album Lookin 'Ahead sells well .
In 1969, appears to reverse the trend. The group is still publicized by visiting John Lennon during his bed-in with Yoko Ono at the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam, but the singles from The Buffoons pick the charts anymore.
Then announces the first of many line-up changes themselves: De Groot is replaced by Jack van Rossum (including a former member of the Indo-rock band The Crazy Rockers). Within a year following Assink and Luiten, replaced by drummer Boy Brostowsky (also a former member of The Crazy Rockers) and guitarist Don Biesbroek (who had played Pee White & The Magic Strangers). Ely van Tongeren takes the bass in hand.
In 1973, the band has a big hit with My girl Donna Ritchie Valens (number 3 in the Top 40). The two following singles Arizona and Let it be me come into the Top 20, but after scoring The Buffoons no more hits.
During a European tour of The Beach Boys The Buffoons was proposed that would provide for the program. That fell through when they felt that The Buffoons the repertoire of The Beach Boys sang better that The Beach Boys themselves.
