Groovy Kind of Love

“A Groovy Kind of Love” was written by Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager. The music is heavily based on the Rondo movement of Muzio Clementi’s Sonatina in G major, op. 36 no. 5. The song title was an early use of the then-new slang word “groovy”. Wine and Bayer-Sager reportedly wrote the song in 20 minutes.
The Mindbenders, a British rock group, took the song to #2 on both the UK and US charts in 1966. Phil Collins, in 1988, took the song to #1.
My instrumental arrangement is in the 1960s style.
