"Gershon kingsley's " Popcorn " is one of the worlds most recognisable tunes ...not bad going for a man who penned the track in two minutes.! ! ..... It was recorded in 1969 for Kingsley's solo album " Music To Moog By " http://www.virginmegastores... which saw Kingsley pioneering the use of Dr. Moog's early synthesizer.....Hot Butter released a more up-tempo version of Popcorn in 1972 . This became an instant hit across the world, and has the distinct title ot being The Worlds First Commercially Successful "Synthesizer" Record, WOW !!......Just as the name Moog is connected to Synthesizer...so too is Kingsley to Electronica......"
Funny cover version

What's the deal on that video?? It looks like a new video faking it's from 1969.
ReplyDeleteBEST SONG EVER!
ReplyDeleteWho needs Dark Side of the Moon when you have this.
this version is INIFINITELY better than the Hot Butter one... thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWell, the parts with the pics of a Moog system 55 gotta be faked given that it didn't exist until '73 or '74.
ReplyDeleteKingley's original '69 version of "Popcorn", which *is* the version heard in this video, made use of a Moog IIIC.
