Diane & Annita cut the first version of "Groovy" for Florence Greenberg's Scepter Records, which was initially only released in France. Not much is known about this duo, although a fairly reliable witness claims he spent time in the studio with them, discounting the rumors that this was actually co-writer Carole Bayer doing the lead. Scepter Records was known to have their artists put vocals over the original song demo tracks (not the only company persuing this cost saving practice), and that might have been the basis for the confusion.

Patti Labelle & the Bluebells cut the second version (produced by the legendary Bert Berns), for their debut Atlantic LP, which was released as the B-side of "Over The Rainbow." The Mindbenders proved the old adage, "Third Time's The Charm."
