Popcorn? Pass the Hot Butter!



Gershon Kingsley was born Goetz Gustav Ksinski in Bochum, Westfalia, Germany on October 28,1922. Glossing over Kingsley fleeing from Berlin to Palestine in 1938 due to the rise of Nazism, being separated from his family at age 15, worked and lived on a kibbutz in what later became Israel, he is a self-taught pianist who wrote and performed the 1969 album, Music to Moog By, which included a song named Popcorn. In 1971, Popcorn was rerecorded by Stan Free and his band, Hot Butter, which reached the American pop music charts as the first primarily electronic-based piece of music.
