“Reach Out of the Darkness” is a song recorded and released by the American folk duo Friend & Lover. Peaking at #10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, it was the pair's most successful single, and they are often regarded as a one-hit wonder for the selection, mainly because their only other Hot 100 entry (“If Love is in Your Heart”) stalled at #86 a few months later. The title never appears as such in the recording, though the nine mentions of “Reach Out IN the Darkness” in the lyrics come close. The song is notable for its repeated opening line, "I think it's so groovy now that people are finally getting together."
