Gershon Kingsley - Pop Corn download song

The Grandmaster is gone. Passed away 10th December 2019. Gershon Kingsley was a true pioneer and a remarkable composer.

Basically the first trance song.

I think this is the best version of the song. (Can't go wrong with the original.) It just stands out among the rest.

SIR Kingsley is 92 years old.I bet its because he listen to his own music.

Imaging hearing this in 1969... must have been like hearing something from another planet

Man... this is actually about 45 years old? It really is amazing that they could create this with the technology they had then... 

It is unbelievable that this track is really that old. A lot of the sounds could come from a modern trance track. Amazing!

Gershon Kingsley is still alive and he is 92. 

Finally, the original song.

Gershon Kingsley passed away on this Dec.10, 2019. Popcorn 4 ever.

Dang Our grandparents tripped on this stuff :D

I wasn't expecting this to sound newer than the version that came out in the 70s.

Nothing else sounds quite like this. The 1972 version of Popcorn was a foreshadowing of how synthesized music would develop in the 1970s, but this version feels like it belongs to some other tradition entirely. It does foreshadow the beat of disco and its EDM descendants, and it has an eerie echoey sound similar to so much music of the 1980s, but it also feels old. It's futuristic and outdated all at once, like some haunting alternate future that never came to be. It's like the musical equivalent of Moonbase Alpha.

Genius, when you consider that this was handmade, with the guy having to overlay the tracks manually and make them fit, as well as discovering the sounds on the technology. Some of those sounds still sound futuristic.

None of the covers of Kingsley's original have come anywhere near the mysterious, psychedelic feel of the brilliant original.

I cannot believe this is 1969! It sounds so modern!

Way way ahead of it's time.

Gershon Kingsley’s original has a subtlety, a delicacy, an intricacy and a sense of developing psychedelic complexity that the many later covers lack. It transcends its ‘corny’ title.
