Its actually a Chamberlin. This recording is from about 1975 where  
they had a strange second keyboardist (Jimmy Greenspoon is playing  
piano in this clip). The other keyboard player can be seen in this  
clip and you can see the Chamberlin.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CuNBengxaQ

Better?  Better than what?  I hear the Chamberlin.  The song was incredibly dumb though...Wasn't it?

It's almost certainly the big M-4 that now resides in the Roger Manning collection.

Wow! I'd only ever heard of Pinder playing that magnificent peice of

Better view and sound of the Chamberin. Its one of my least favorite TDN tunes. However Leo Sayer's original performance of his song is terrific.
