The Mindbenders were a mid-1960s British beat group from Manchester, England, best known for their hit single "A Groovy Kind of Love." Their sound was characterized by a blend of pop, rock, and beat music, with a significant influence from the Merseybeat style. The group originally included notable musician Wayne Fontana, though he left in 1965, leaving the band to continue as a trio. Despite their brief tenure, The Mindbenders left a lasting impact on the British Invasion era of rock music.
