You Can Do Magic - America

"You Can Do Magic" is a classic by America, released in 1982 on their album View from the Ground. Written by Russ Ballard, it marked a comeback for the band, hitting #8 on the Billboard Hot 100—their biggest chart success in years after the departure of founding member Dan Peek. The song’s got that polished, early '80s soft rock sound, with a catchy hook and a mystical vibe in the lyrics: "You can do magic, you can have anything that you desire." It’s about belief in someone’s power to enchant and transform, wrapped in a smooth melody.

America’s duo, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, leaned into a more produced, radio-friendly style here, a shift from their folkier '70s roots. The track’s got a timeless feel—still pops up on classic rock playlists. Do you have a favorite memory tied to this one?
