A Groovy Kind of Love is a song written by Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager based on a melody by the classical composer Muzio Clementi. The song was recorded to great success by The Mindbenders and Phil Collins.
The title was an early use of the slang word groovy, and both women were interested in using the word because they recognized it as new and happening. Wine said, Carole came up with 'Groovy kinda… groovy kinda… groovy…' and we're all just saying, 'Kinda groovy, kinda groovy, kinda…'
The Mindbenders version entered the Record Retailer chart on January 19, 1966, at number 34 before peaking at number two on March 16. It was kept from the number one spot by These Boots Are Made for Walkin' by Nancy Sinatra. It exited the chart on April 20 at a position of 37 after spending 14 weeks on the chart.
