Hot Butter
Hot Butter was an American instrumental band originating from New York City, active from 1971 to 1978. The group was fronted by keyboard player and studio musician Stan Free, who was known for his work as a session player in the 1960s with artists such as the Monkees and Arlo Guthrie. The band also included John Abbott, Bill Jerome, Steve Jerome, Danny Jordan, and Dave Mullaney, with Tony Spinosa joining them in the studio on percussion.

Hot Butter is best known for their 1972 hit version of "Popcorn," a Moog synthesizer instrumental originally composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969. The track became a significant international success, selling over two million copies worldwide. The band released two albums, "Hot Butter" in 1972 and "More Hot Butter" in 1973, which primarily featured covers of popular songs and classical works adapted for synthesizer. Their music is recognized as an early forerunner of both disco music and synth-pop.
