"'The Groove'" is a song by American jazz pianist Rodney Franklin released as a single in April 1980 from his second album 'You'll Never Know'.
"The Groove" had the most success in the UK, peaking at number 7 on the Singles Chart, and even created its own dance craze there, called 'The Freeze', started by disc jockey Chris Hill, in which due to the number of breaks in the song, dancers would freeze until the music started again.
