Groovy Kind of Love


The most popular pre-80's version of "Groovy Kind of Love" was recorded by a group called the Mindbenders in 65, the year that marked both the end of an era and the start of a new one.  It is difficult to imagine a more unlikely decade in which to cover this song than the 80's.  It's also difficult to imagine a more unlikely artist to cover "Groovy Kind of Love" -- it's difficult to imagine a less groovy person -- than Phil Collins.  From the 88 movie Buster, Phil's version -- which is slower than the original and less 80's than it could have been -- is nonetheless groovy in its own unique Phil Collins way.
