“A groovy kind of love” by Phil Collins

"A Groovy Kind of Love" came to Phil Collins with a long history behind it. Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager wrote it at Bayer Sager's home in New York City, a few blocks from the Brill Building and 1650 Broadway, where the publishers kept their writing rooms; her place won out for being more comfortable and more private. The tune leans on a melody by the classical composer Muzio Clementi, and the song was first recorded back in 1965.

Plenty of artists have had a go at it since, and Collins, like the Mindbenders, turned it into a hit.
