"A Groovy Kind Of Love" #2 5/28/1966

An early use of the word "groovy" by the Mindbenders. These Manchester guys scored a #1 in '65 with Wayne Fontana out front on "The Game Of Love." Soon, Wayne would walk off the stage in the middle of a show and quit the band. The others pressed on, but this was their sole US Top 40 effort afterward. A later version of the group morphed into 10cc in the 70's. Phil Collins had a major solo hit with a slowed-down remake in the late 80's.
