[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

@@emilymalden3310 America were originally Dan Peek, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell. As a trio they would score several hits between 1972 and 1977. Dan Peek left the band in 1977 and America continued on as a duo, Beckley and Bunnell, and they would release several albums between 1979 and 1985, still only one single, You Can Do Magic became a big hit. The other players in this video were their backing band, both on record and in live settings. Beckley and Bunnell has kept going and are still active in 2021, although there's been 10 years since their last album. Dan Peek became a successful Christian contemporary artist but sadly died in 2009. America is a great band, in fact one of my all time favourites!

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

@@emilymalden3310 Just in case you're not familiar with the band here's some info: America basically were a close harmony Folk Rock trio inspired by Crosby Still and Nash and hit the big time with their first single on Warner Brothers, the now classic A Horse With No Name. Although they would would score a couple of follow up hits in 1972/1973, things really went into the stratosphere when they got Beatles producer George Martin to produce their albums, starting with Holiday in 1974 and Hearts in 1975. Massive hit singles like Sister Golden Hair and Lonely People made America arguably the equal of The Eagles in term of commercial and artistic impact. Things begun to go sour in the late 70s, after losing Dan Peek to religion and the music climate was changing as well, moving away from the Soft Rock of America to New wave and Disco inflected music. Still they were a popular touring ensemble and would get a comeback hit in 1982 with You Can Do Magic, a more hook laden synth popper. More or less not a functional concern in the mid/ late 80s, Beckley and Bunnell resurrected America in the mid 90s and have been relaxing albums sporadically ever since. As a touring band, they're massively popular and they're first class artists, singers and songwriters, writing more or less every song they record themselves. Their to date latest album Back Pages, however, consisted of 12 cover songs and it's a fine album. God bless America! The band, that is!

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

@@emilymalden3310 I'm a huge 60s/ 70s poprock fan and I would like to point you to my favourite artist of all time, Gilbert O'Sullivan. Are you familiar with him? An English/Irish pop artist who was one of the biggest pop stars between 1970 and 1975. Hits such as Alone Again Naturally, Clair and Get Down were all charttopper either in Britain or America.

Ageless magic right here.

This song was released when we moved from Ohio to Pineville, Wva. I was a freshman in High School. 14 years old. Our bus driver played the radio to and from School, this was a big hit.

[@jamosh1967]

1982 was my freshman year in high school too the year this song was released.

Music has so many meanings. It's what touches our souls. 1982 … I was 31 years old and starting a family when this song was released. Family’s always been high on my priority list and it still is even at 71 years old. 40 years have gone by since its release and this song reminds me of my life as a young man. “You Can Do Magic” is a song that reminds me of my daughter. She’s been the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world from the day I first laid eyes on her. I tell her how beautiful she is and how much I love her when I get to speak to her … my girl “can do magic” because she has put a spell on me that only a loving father feels from the love I have for her … and without judgement. No matter who or what she’s turned out to be, her dad loves her very much, always. It’s “Magic …”

I thought this came out in 1981, but, at our age, does it matter anymore.... You are just slightly older as I was 11 in 1981. 😉

[@briancossey4773]

Here it is almost August of 2024 and I'm still listening to this and remembering the words/chords just as if I heard them yesterday for the first time. 54 years old and you know what the magic is here? Remembering the first time I heard this as a kid, closing my eyes and seeing myself laying in bed with this playing on the radio on my bedside table; me being 12 years old again. How is THAT for magic?

[@robertoreyna4356]

Actually takes me back in time to relieve those moments this music expressed much of what was felt

Letra 🌅 I never believed in things I couldn't see I said if I can't feel it then how can it be No, no magic could happen to me And then I saw you I couldn't believe it, you took my heart I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself What's it all about Now I know there can be no doubt You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo it... Doo, doo, doo... Doo, doo, doo it... Doo, doo, doo it... And when the rain is beatin' Upon the window pane And when the night it gets so cold When I can't sleep Again you come to me I hold you tight, the rain disappears Who would believe it With a word you dry my tears You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo it... Doo, doo, doo do... And If I wanted to I could never be free I never believed it was true But now it's so clear to me You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo it... Doo, doo, doo do... Doo, doo, doo it... (You're the one who can put out the fire) Doo, doo, doo it... (You're the one who can put out the fire) All right You can do it Thank you very much, you can do magic girl

Today's music airwaves is desperately lacking in this type of music. Music that is raw, melodic, emotionally uplifting, and resonates with our feelings.

[@BrentLabasan]

check out Mayer Hawthorne - Crime

[@RobertJones-ux6nc]

Heck today music most lacks anything good in it, musicians who lack any talent except the ability to scream in to a microphone or cuss and call that good music.

[@williampride6008]

perhaps not so much with the younger on average though listener's yes, they may see as well as we just individually and more.

[@samycascadelapaix8289]

. . . check out Alizee or Joyce Jonathan. . .quality music has a universal sound. . . you don't have to speak or understand French. . .but you, if you are open to new sounds, can sense and feel the pure magic in the next generations and their transcending music that will blow away stuff from the 20th century. . just wait a decade or so. . .(the comments above are IMHO) & the fact that historically all music evolves, changes & progresses into new sounds & genres by observing & practicing the previous generations works AND then thru hard work, some luck & inner inspiration from their selves or their friends take music to the next level. . . have faith that things WILL improve & get better. . .the BEST is yet to come. . .
