Hot Butter is really Steve Free, who had been a member of the First Moog Quartette. Synths were a fairly new thing, and instrumental albums like this enjoyed a bit of success. Which is where the song Popcorn comes in to the picture, as it was actually a hit. Free lifted the song from it's composer and fellow First Moog Quartette member, Gershon Kingsley. I know the song mainly from being in public school in the early 80's, where they would use it as accompaniment to a stupid dance they'd occasionally make us do in P.E. Still, it's stands as an example of early synth pop music.
