I sang Hippie Kinda Love It goes: When i feelin blue all I gotta do is get in touch wit you an buy them pills what blue then I gets real high and forgets all bout blue
The guy singing is Eric Stewart, who wrote and sang "I'm Not in Love" (among many other songs) when he was a founding member of 10cc. Just in case you guys weren't aware...
This original version is definitely more groovy than Phil Collin's version but I like Phil's version better for the way it exudes an atmosphere of deep emotion and love while the original is more poppy and dancy. I prefer my love songs slow and mellow.
Pre 10cc but after mindbenders, Eric Stewart was in one hit wonder band called Hotlegs with Kevin Godley and Lol Creme (Godley and Creme) doing Neanderthal Man in 1970. It's on youtube, check it out. Hotlegs Neanderthal Man
This video is posted on Facebook page called "Golden Tunes - Sound of Oldies", so if you have fb account and some time, check it, i guess you will like it :) Page is for everyone who like like warm cozy sound of evergreen music.
The singer here is Eric Stewart, who with Graham Gouldman the bass player for about 8 months at the end of the band, went on to form 10cc. Gouldman was also who wrote this along with other stuff like Bus Stop and Look Through Any Window for the Hollies; For Your Love, Heart Full Of Soul for the Yardbirds; No Milk Today for Herman's Hermits and Pamela, Pamela for Wayne Fontana.
@IowaOz - Thank you for this information. I didn't realize there was any connection between the Mindbenders and 10cc. I also never knew where prolific songwriter Graham Gould had come from. Thanks for posting. Peace Always.
Bonjour, vous aimez les sixties ? écoutez et podcastez mon émission "le super son des 60's" sur le site de plumfm. You like the 60's ? please, listen and podcast my broadcast "le super son des 60's", connect to "plumfm". Salut et faites gaffe au rock and roll.
You know, you don't have to knock Phil Collins for covering another's song, I always prefered The Mindbenders original (possibly because it was the only version I'd known before Phil came along) but remember, without covers we'd never have had the likes of Elvis Presley singing Blue Suede Shoes and that would have been a big pity.
Hace poco tiempo que he descubrido esta canción. Ella es muy bonita, una de las más bellas de los 60´s. Y puedo perceber que Los Mindbenders eran tan buenos cuanto Los Beatles y Simon y Garfunkel.
@keysersozeh listen to the record by the Mindbenders - You probably heard Phil first = as you get older you will become more educated in dealing with the golden past of music!! - PhIl actually re laquered the gold [or as you say shit] that came from this original --I like Phil but let him stick to the great stuff he writes!
@roselandalvin you dont know my age, i might be older then you are :) (i dont think musical preference is bound by age anyway), i am my musician (see my youtube page) so i have some knowledge of and feeling for music i think (at least im not tone deaf... and my reaction was pointed at another les than nice reaction on this video. Happy you enjoy the above track. Phil probably likes it, i dont. But i do feel he made it gold with his rendition, not the other way around.
this is theee Original !! Alot better than the Phil Collins version .. Great sound .. the best ... love it .. long live the 60s' .. thanx .. Lyndloo..
Just viewed Neil Diamond's version of this classic and I have to say he does it extrodinarily well. But I would say that since he can do nothing wrong, musicaly, in my mind :-)
Cheers Dusty11111 ! - I live in Bulgaria these days - make wind and solar domestic energy systems - do garden - try to feed everyone - little time nor energy for Vera !. Happy memories of a relatively sane world. bertdotwindonatgmaildotcom
@bertwindon Hey Bert, It seems to me you did well to go to Bulgaria. Over here in the Netherlands it's pretty busy in my job as a chartered accountant. I want to rest and work on my allotment.
@dusty11111988 Well dusrty, why not drop me a line and then I can tell you just how well I did - compared to staying in UK that is !! Good luck with your allotment, though I think you are soon going to be needing the Rest - while you watch it all grow - the weeds that is !
Clementi, actually--Op.36, No. 5, third movement. I have a student playing this piece and he seemed shocked that a "rock song" would have been ripped from a classical sonatina. :P
The internet is very slow , a first 4, 5 AM in the morning. I can still send you a comment however and thanku 4 posting one of my all time favorites. It was redone by another artist in the 80's but didn't compare to the original, 4 some reason it didn't stack up with me. Others who didn't grow up with the Mindbenders probably didn't know of them & if so probably would say they can only hit it off with Phil's version which compares to the original. Thanks for sharin this video & song.
Classical music had an amazing influence on pop music during this time. Check out the 3rd movement of Clementi's Sonatina op. 36 No. 5, and see if you can't find the similarities!
It is one of my favorite songs though it was before my time. I always like listening to this song, and it is not because of memories, it is because it is good quality music.
Eric Stewart and Denny Laine were the very best of Macca's right hand men...better than one John Ono Lennon, RIP, in my humble opinion. He should have stuck with those guys and formed a new Wings.
Why are most of the comments so sarcastic and serious, it was the sixties and the Mindbenders were good looking guys I was 14 when I saw them live. so stop being grumpy. I have fab memories.
according to wiki, Leslie Gore was prevented by her agent to record this song because of the word Groovy. Is that because the word was too risqué or too lame? if risqué, what is risqué about it?
I have really redisovered 10CC because of Graham Gouldman and I knew Godley and Creme from "Cry' and there videos. Eric Stewart flew under my radar...until now. What a talent!!!
If they ever do a movie about him. Sondre Lerche is the spitting image of him and he is good a singer and guitar player as Eric.
It is actually uncanny. Maybe Eric was Sondre's mum's milkman?
I adore Eric Srewart Bob Lang and Ric Rothwell the most handsome guys I have ever seen they are all talented and fab Eric still singing and a fab muscian ace.
Laptop up and running again now. Your right - never used Brut again after that but I still think I can sing - the sad thing is a friend told me she regretted doing it so I asked her out again - I wined and dined her took her home in a black cab we had a good night - said I would ring her - I didn't - she turn up on my door step asking why - I said because I didn't want to see her again - it felt good at the time but I wish I ..................... ar well water under the bridge now
In 1967 I remember singing this song to a girl while she had her head on my shoulder in my parents front room - she finished with me the day after - I was heart broken But it doesn't end there ???????????
In 1966, Eric Stewart became the lead singer of the Mindbenders. He is the original singer of The Mindbenders version, of this Wine-Sager song. Eric Stewart still has a great singing voice today. On the original record. They overdubbed his voice. Same with Wayne Fontana.
This music is all part of the roots of what changed Rock N' Roll forever.
Brings back childhood memories of playing this on an old Marconiphone record player - the type you could stack a dozen singles on and it'd play them one after the other! They really were better days, sums up the feeling of being in love then as a teenager.
Phil Collins covered that song as the soundtrack for a movie he played in, because that movie was set in the 60's...Saying he stole it is quite unfair, because he never released it on a regular album! (only BEST OFs)
The Mindbenders' version of the song wasn't he original. It was first released in 1965 (the same year, but earlier than the Mindbenders' version) by a female duo called Diane and Annita. But it is true that the songwriters, Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager based its composition on the Clementi Sonatina
In 1988 Phil Collins came out whit its version of "A groovy kind of love", and many italian music "experts" noted that it was "too much" similar to "Agnese dolce Agnese" by Ivan Graziani (1979). Phil Collins simply replied his song was only a cover of an old success of Mindbenders (1965), but the final cut was that Mindbenders'song was not original. In fact, it was widely derived from the Rondo of Sonatina op.36 n.5 by Muzio Clementi (a classic author of 18th century !).
sorry, I forgot another "piece": in 1966 an italian group, the Camaleonti, wrote a cover of "A groovy kind of love" with italian words: "Non c'è più nessuno".
Wow...tons of memories. Engaged to a girl while in college. Alas, didn't work out. Will always remember her, however, particularly when I hear this song. Hope you're well Helen. The past 40 years have flown. Jody
the original version rocks, 'cause it takes us back to an era of innocence in music, but i prefer phil collins' dramatic version. it's just like u2 sang: even better than the real thing
Ah, the sad newbies who weren't around when this song first hit the airwaves. What can they say - but Phil Collins version was better? They never heard the original and best? If it weasn't great..old Phil would have never covered..I'll give him props for knowing what's great !

Wow...tons of memories. Engaged to a girl while in college. Alas, didn't work out. Will always remember her, however, particularly when I hear this song. Hope you're well Helen. The past 40 years have flown. Jody

the original version rocks, 'cause it takes us back to an era of innocence in music, but i prefer phil collins' dramatic version. it's just like u2 sang: even better than the real thing

Only the second time I've heard this song, versus the Phil Collins version and I'm moved by the vulnerability in the singers voice.

Loved this song since I was a kid. Hated the Phil Collings version. This clip of the Mindbenders performing it live is simply fantastic.

Ah, the sad newbies who weren't around when this song first hit the airwaves. What can they say - but Phil Collins version was better? They never heard the original and best? If it weasn't great..old Phil would have never covered..I'll give him props for knowing what's great !

I played in a group as support to
Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders at The Floral Hall Ballroom Morecambe in 1964. One great group.

This live version is a bit lean but the record is the best. Collins doesn't come close. He shouldn't have touched this gem.
