As a vetran of that era (I was a teenager then), I can tell you it was the very late 60's and early to mid 70's. The only people I EVER heard use the term was Sammy Davis, Jr. ("Groovy, maaaan") and various members of the Brady Bunch, especially Greg, who was always talking about some "groovy chick". Chick was another word that Hollywood loved but real people didn't use.
The sixties and seventies have been so stylized and idealized on TV and movies, people who actually lived then barely recognize them. The sixties weren't nearly as freaky nor the seventies nearly as disco as you have been led to believe.

I heard it throughout college 1965-8. It came from the grooves on a record.
