A Groovy Kind of Love

“A Groovy Kind of Love” is a pop song written by Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager. It is heavily based on the Rondo movement of Sonatina in G major, op. 36 no. 5 by Muzio Clementi.

The song was released first by Diane & Annita in 1965. The same year, The Mindbenders released it as their debut single and reached #2 in the UK charts.

In 1988, Phil Collins covered the song for the movie Buster. The Mindbenders' version reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles Chart; Collins's version went one better, hitting #1 in both the U.S. and UK charts. The song is also played in the Friends television episode “The One with the Wedding Part 2”.
