But i have to say, as a synth guy I really dig this one, too. One of the early synthesizer pop hits.
Plus, this gem. This was a hit around the same time I found out what a clavinet was. Superstitious came out the sane year. Obviously, I was nuts about clavinet then, too.

(71,482 posts)3. Such A Good Groove Tune
I like the video setting. Just guys hanging in a rehearsal studio.
It's synced to the recorded version.
Biggest tell: the keyboard Billy is playing is electronic. There were no electronic keys out there that gave that good a piano sound in the 70s. Trust me: I desperately wanted one & even the ones I couldn't afford didn't sound that good!
