Practicing magic will send you to hell, it aint so innocent however great song :D

@@YahYesh777dude your taking it too far it’s not literally meaning u can do witchcraft it’s just a supplemented word to make the song flow better

@@renjii1758 I don't know. I like the song too, but Samwise might be more right than wrong. Take a quick look at the band "Coven," which also came out of Laurel Canyon just like these pretentious pretty boys.

@@dogperday They got together at an Air Force Base in the U.K. not Laurel Canyon.

Abolutely!

I agree, when people sang and no “voice correction” pure raw feel good music from 70’s!

It is magic

Well put 👍 (by the way Happy Halloween, it's October 31st 2023! 🎃)

Good for you!

It's magic!

Did you know that the guy in the stripe shirt died

No! I did not know that! 😢

No, that is Dewey Bunnell and he is very much alive. The one who died was Dan Peek. @@melissarichardson9126

Yes and all you can do is smile when you hear this while riding down the highway

Can’t help but love it.

No literal sus letras,buenaza❤❤❤

True this particular song was from 1982

Yes I remember seeing this video on MTV in the 80’s but the most memorable songs were from the 70’s in high school for me 💕

That is so sweet thank you I wish you the absolute same god love you

Same to you friend. Keep your head up.

Thanks brother. All the same to you as well

Fun was on an upward trajectory in the 80's

Yeah no hassle and stress like today

@@ianwilliams2387 music in the 80s🥳👍 society in the 80s💀☠️

Mix supermix

Hi,whats the name of the first voice ?

Yep

you are so right.

Too bad your musical knowledge is so crap!! (with all due respect). This band was huge!!

It wasn't underrated at all. If anything, it was overplayed on the radio. I dare say it was overrated (although I do like this song!).

@@DJKinney U have a point but when compared 2 Elton John, America's DEFINITELY UNDERR8D!!!!!! I base it on their similar musicals styles & chart success. Since the MAJORITY of America's members r from England (& the fact that America & Elton John r classified as "soft rock/pop", America was the far superior talent but Elton John got the accolades. There4, the term "underr8d" RE: America is very accur8 indeed.

People still make real music today. It's called bluegrass!

Better late than never. I'm late to the party too but a song like this is timeless and can be complimented any time!

People have never stopped making real music. Genres are constantly developing, but we have an increasingly vast catalog of music available to choose from.

It's never too late yo. Welcome 😊

YES !!!!

How lucky you are !! They were, are and will be te best ever with Hall & Oates 🤷‍♀️ i pity young people of your generation with the c………nowadays music

Awww you are so lucky!!

@@christinebethencourt6197 you mean "music" where the C fell off the front (RAP) Kids today have no idea.

Coming from India and like you listening to these gems on radio...I can feel your feel when you watched them live 🙂..stay blessed

You are so lucky!!!!

Agreed

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This song Makes me travel to the time when i Was a teen...oh those years

So true.

Long car trips listening to “in the dessert,” I remember that.

Yeah, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in America. Just saying!

Really 🤭

There's still a comma, they are Americans. My wife and I watched their concert twice here in Reno, Nevada.

I am glad there are others that feel as i do. Best band in my top 3 for sure

And Ventura highway💜🦋🌈🌟🐝

Tin Man and Lonely People are great too.

I hear you. Lost my younger only brother. 1979-2002. It's weird this music brings me back to when I had a brother. So sorry for your loss. God bless you.

It reminds me of my mom. She passed on in 2017. She loved this song. I was young but I loved it then and still. Great song 🎵

All most my ege Im still listening to this beatyfull melody for you an your great Man¡!

Just one of the great songs of America great unbelievable like everything by this great band

​@@michaelbis8588 1:15 mñ3 y .v

Ageless magic right here.

Yes. A long time ago.

IT'S A TRAVESTY,THEY WERE ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THE 70'S TO MID 80'S , HOPE THEY MAKE IT!!

❤️

America should've been inducted at their inception. Lol! One of the first bands I remember hearing in my life. They're the heartbeat of the soundtrack of life ❤️

@@gregh7400 is.

Absolutely right - definitely underrated ...... their discography is amazing and Maybe they didn't wreck hotel rooms on tour, flash their junk at women, or get into fights!!!!

@djj: Geez where were you during their peak popularity and by whose standards are they underrated? America in the 70s was definitely NOT underrated. Their music was ubiquitous and they were lauded for their unique sound. ❤❤❤

Me too

​@@MsMars.❤❤❤❤❤❤

37 million views.

Ventura Highway is up there too !

Absolutely Agreed buddy! @@whoohooles123

What about Tin Man? America's finest song, they were very prolific.

My favorite America song is "You Can Do Magic." The runner up is " Daisy Jane."

@@nicholasjolt6200 YES! Daisy Jane's a good one for sure as well Nicholas! Cheers.

I can easily say that the best thing about being old right now is that we got to experience the late 20th century. It'll just never be beat in terms of exciting new entertainment. Especially music.

I'm in their age group, so if they can rock on, so can I.

❤❤

@@Laidengizer011 The 60's and 80's. America, especially this song just is so beautiful how they are in sync with vocal's and body movements. What also makes them stand out is they are innocently being HOT! Much Blessings to them and family!

@@JoleneSailer What about the 50s, 70s and 90s?? Still some great new stuff there.

❤ beautiful story. sorry for your loss

❤️🙏❤️

Poor them!

they can probably do no good in this world either..👀tsk

Fuck yeah!

Best time ever!!!

It is a great song💥💖, but if you're talking of the entire time of the 80s ,THEN yeah there were lots of screaming, yelling,dirty lyrics going on in that time period by the metal bands & rappers ,so it wasnt a simpler time ,just a cooler music genre, like cool jazz & funk or classic...beautiful tune though👍🏼💓

I listen to those song. But I consider this safe space music..

Well, they do say "darn" in this song.

Sorry for @SK-ho5dj Sad for your loss of your Dad. Now, just you listen, your Dad would want the utmost of happiness for you. Listening to the quiet.

Asta magia con esas bonitas rolitas en las disco inolvidables tiempos 70

I know right :)

God this song is awful 👎

Me either

BEST SONG EVER

Never!

This version is from 1982 though!

This song came out in 1982

I have the exact same memories

@@muchado1290 I have some fond memories of this song too. In 1983 when I was four I remember being on the Eatons parkade above Gateway Mall. It was night and the lights from above were on and this song was playing. In fall 1998 and I was 19 I was driving over the Diefenbaker Bridge (two blocks from there). Same damn song was playing! What memories!

What a pretty and most fascinating woman ,hello my darling ?

*The song is just so pretty.I'm from Illinois*@@GrillDavid-01

*I had a great day! I was able to spend time shopping with my daughter and grandson.Then came home and listened to great music with the hubby*@@GrillDavid-01

Can you name the other bands? Would love to get some recommendations

@@larrydavid6575 Thanks for the invite to walk down memory lane. Let's see... I remember Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Paul McCartney and Wings, Heart, Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffett, REO Speedwagon, Steve Miller Band, the Who. The 70's were great for pop music. Since then its been a horror show, imho. Cheers!

Well summed up. The late 60s - 70s were surreal and the music was as well.

@@larrydavid6575 - try the Eagles. They were similar

WTF?! OH, MAAAAN!!! He was live in MT in 2000!

Rest In Peace, Willie. You're gone now, but will never be forgotten.

He lived in Stockton Ca! I live close to there. Sad of his passing. He was still young only 74 years old.

cool 😎😘

A wonderful drummer and true pro ! I loved the way he and David would really lock it down when they played live.

Hope their Magic works now 🙂

Russ Ballard wrote it!!!

They didn't write this song. Russ Ballard wrote it.

@@geerterri Yes, you needed to clarify it!. They sang it, maybe better than magic Russ!

2020 for the lonely people American as apple pie

La mejor época de muchas personas... de mi vida.

U got that right 😂

Tenho 72anos e fiz parte dessa época muito prazerosa pra mim. Quem viveu nessa época sabe dq estou falando.

I do too !!!!!!!!!!!!!! love

Muy de acuerdo 👏contigo...saludos 👏desde Cali Colombia.

I love this band

I hear you, I was 15 when this came out. Time really blows by!

La época dorada!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The MOST underrated band of all time.

With Toto

And I'd have to say one of THE BEST ever!

I agree

check out Mayer Hawthorne - Crime

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.

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

. . . 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. . .

Oy Vey!

I love the manic Psychotic way you bring it baby.

surrely, kisses, from France.......... And LOVE

And, with NO auto-tune crap! 👍

"You Can Do Magic" is a song by singer-songwriter Russ Ballard that was recorded as a 1982 single by folk rock duo America from their album View from the Ground.

yes they do ausyun amd ally baióy cidey

My younger days song, for someone who needs some catch-up, consider the 80/20 model. Needs and wants / Investments

There are a lot of people like this. Im 52 and just getting serious about retirement. Its sad because the time to get serious was 20 years ago or even younger.

For me, I'm quite lucky exposed to financial planning at early age, started work at 21 and invested to my 401k through my employer, going forward I purchased first home at 33, unfortunately got laid-off afterwards, amid 2020 covid-outbreak. At once, I hired an advisor to help stay afloat, and as of today, I'm only 25% short of achieving my 7-figure ballpark goal after subsequents investments.

bravo, this is striking! mind sharing info of the advisor guiding you pleas? i'm in dire need of growing my reserve

My advisor is Laura Grace Abels, a renowned figure in portfolio diversity. I recommend researching her further on the web, she's well established with over two decades of experience in her line of work.

I know today’s Music is just trashy Old School Music is the best

excuse me I'm 13 and love this soft rock music from late 70's early 80's about 79-82 this is my favorite song my dad introduced it to me he grew up in a great time he graduated in 1981

Amen to that

It's more of a cheap, disposable product these days. Just another commodity to be churned out as quickly and easily as possible.

@@Richard-Allen Your dad graduated the year I was born. I've recently had a bit of a focus on the time period you referenced. A little wider though. But the early 80s was the last time we were really quaint and old fashioned like that. Before things got more modern and digital and flashy in the 80s. The Jackson Browne, Robbie Dupree sort of days.

England is great

What a wonderful post! I am a teacher as well so this is extra special for me. I am sure you and your friends had a positive impact on Mr. Flores as well.

When I was in the fourth grade, my teacher would hit me in the head with a metal chalk holder, lol.

I'd consider them lucky to pull this off in the 80s

Are they all still living?

@@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!

@@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!

@@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. He blended Beatle esque pop songcraft with music hall sensibilities and wrote some unique songs! He's still going strong in 2021!

100% true

Business in front , party in the back

I agree. Best time of my life

Damn skippy

This sounds like 70's to me , though it came out in early eighties

I fell in love with him. I mean I fell in love with his music!!!

@@margaretortiz7855 Me too. I fell in love with the music

I don't even know you. Don't be creepy!

They're only disappointed that bands today don't have 36 guitarists. They were working towards that future and it didn't really work out.
