Feelin' Groovy is the debut album by the American sunshine pop band Harper's Bizarre, released in 1967.

Feelin' Groovy Review by Matthew Greenwald

...Enter producer Lenny Waronker and session musician/arranger/songwriter/general musical architect Van Dyke Parks. The two of them brought then-drummer Ted Templeman up to the front as co-lead vocalist, along with Dick Scoppettone, and created a soft rock identity for the group, renaming them Harpers Bizarre...songs by Van Dyke Parks ("Come to the Sunshine"), Randy Newman ("Debutante's Ball"), and others. An excellent and definitive slice of California soft pop.
