Who knew that a purely synthetic song could be a monster number one radio hit? Just shows that synths can be pleasing to the ear. All of us kids loved it.

Yep, I had that album. A big Moog synth on the front cover. For me, a kid of 7 or 8 years old, Bach (or any classical music) was kind of hard to listen to, and done with synthesizers it was difficult to appreciate at that age, although I did try to listen. I was more interested in that exciting piece of equipment on the cover! But one album I enjoyed was 'In the Moog', which was old-time big band stuff done with Moog. On the cover was a old-timey juke box. I have searched but cannot find this music or any references to it on the net. Anyone?
