When Wayne Fontana quit the Mindbenders to go solo, the band issued this one as their debut single without him. It rocketed to the #2 position both here and in the US in 1966. Interestingly, the Phil Collins slower version (1988) made it to #1 in the UK and in the States and to date, remains his only #1 hit as a solo artist. "Groovy" was an "in" word in 1963 when Carole Bayer Sager and Toni Wine wrote it in 20 minutes at the piano.
