      Everywhere on the internet says that this was a double A side release in the UK. I've got the 12" and it says Side One and Side Two clearly - and I don't recall What is love having any radio play whatsoever. This was even featured as a question on UK Channel 4' 15/09/2023's edition of Popmaster TV and I still think it is totally wrong! Seems like classic internet misinformation that has now become fact

        One of Dance music's greatest B-sides, I always preferred it to the A-side the moment I heard it, a very under-rated track that would have warranted a release in its own right in my opinion.

          The intro bassline & percussions is probably one of the best in dance music on What Is Love? (Holographic Goatee Mix).

              Every time I play this tune out as a DJ, everybody goes crazy and gets onto the dance floor regardless if i'm doing a small pub or nightclub to hundreds of people or on the main stage at a festival to thousands - It might be an oldie now, but this tune gets people young and old going nuts!

                The intro sample from Groove Is In The Heart is from Herbie Hancock's soundtrack of the film Blow Up. Sample is the intro of "Bring Down The Birds". I discovered this today, listening to the vinyl.

                (And yes, this record still kills after all these years...)

                  Groove Is In The Heart contains samples from "Vernon Burch - Get Up" (1979).

                    The "Frenchappella" has proved to be a most useful acapella for DJ use. It has proved to be a catchy intro or break and those who own two copies may have experimented with even more possiblities. Many producers have used the "Frenchappella" as source for sampling. Samples from this classic can be heard on many records. The "Frenchappella"is not on the European pressings unfortunately.
