Hi,whats the name of the first voice ?

Love this song so much. My ex husband sent me this link, reminding me that I used to sing it to my son when he was a baby on the changing table. When I used to say 'You can do Magic" I used to say "Bing Bing," in a high voice and he would giggle and giggle. A beautiful memory... unfortunately, he was killed in April 2002 at the age of 20. I always wanted to recreate this memory with my grandchildren. We'll see...hopefully soon now that my daughter has found her forever love. ❤️

Late 1970's at the town pool in a small midwest American town on a warm summer day, America playing on the pool speakers for the teenage lifeguards. I was around 10 years old and the summer seemed long - no school in sight, there was nothing but the pure freedom of childhood and summer play, tomorrow and the next days would be the same, as far as my youthful eyes could see. I can remember that feeling of blissful freedom, but I will never experience it again. This band and a few others are tangled up in those good memories.

@@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!

Saw them live in Daytona at the Band Shell in 1982 . Just amazing concert … still stays in my heart. When I think I can’t ,I play this and realize “I can do magic”

This band was underated because they were clean cut, well dressed, apolitical, not into pot, LSD, controversial relationships, etc, etc.

Anyone here thinks they should be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? they've been snubbed for a very long time , I think they deserved such recognition

Remember, my darling, that you are Magick!

Just 5 guys on a stage with guitars and drums, no fancy clothes or fancy anything but yet this is one of the best bands to ever exist! there are so many from this era but these guys are way up in the top and best of the best!
