Hi Music Mike,

Thanks for posting this great video/song. They are finally playing this on XM/Sirius radio now.

I agree, I think it's Bobby's best recording

@EKLAC

Hi, I totally agree. Bobby does a great job on this. The melody and orchestration are perfect. It's a great song for taking a drive in your car on a nice day.

Thank you.

[jimliz100]

Thanks for sharing. I like this version a lot!

[swtypieln]

My all time favorite song of Bobby Rydell. Also, like your posting of the Outsiders' Respectable on Capitol from 1966.

[stapelgek100]

Great voice! Great song!

[waltandrus]

Cool version! Bobby is STILL singing great! Also one of the nicest and FUNNIEST guys in this crazy "BIZ called SHOW"! He sings the heck out of Standards and Swing tunes. Bobby also always does a tribute to Bobby Darin in every show. EXCELLENT!

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

what a bassy tone, i'm delighted that one of my favorite bobby songs could sound so good, i"ve always liked this song..i got it in my collection.

[SeeburgMusic]

OH MY GOD this song is like a carnival ride!

[pacj7]

Love his female background singers. Who are they? Did they ever record solo?

[funkycandycool]

I always loved Bobby & this is the best version of the song by far!

[peeterpoon]

I agree with you wholeheartedly that this song has been overlooked...the rhythm section does sound like it came right out of a Gary "US" Bonds session...Louis Prima and Kelly Smith would be proud of Bobby's take on their big hit.

[affortunatus]

One of the nicest songs of the Real Book in a nice version by Bobby. Thanx for sharing, for me it's useful to inspire a new arrangement for that song by my band The Lucky Duckies

[MarkinDC]

Sure sounds great in STEREO. Twistin', uptempo version of Black Magic. Classy intro also.  THANKS for posting.

[paminddoc]

Nice to see all the love for Bobby and his

music. He's a truly nice guy and works

hard to please his fans. Still sounds

great and is very charitable. Stars today

can learn a lot from him.

[baboushki]

yes! as a long time bobby fan, i couldn't agree with you more. whatever happened to REAL talent?

[boeingVSairbus]

Appreciate the intro. Thank you!

[VirginSuicide77]

Pretty much everything that Cameo put out sounded good! This horns sound a lot like Cameo labelmates The Orlons. :)

[rdf1947]

Great version of the classic song.

[Soapking1965]

Bobby's version and the 1958 version by Louis Prima and Keely Smith are my favorites.

[Jackamoo1]

Which came first this or "quarter to three" by Gary U.S. Bonds?

[MusicMike2]

"That Old Black Magic" came first. The original hit version is from 1943. The Bobby Rydell version made its debut on 5/1/61. "Quarter To Three" made its debut on 5/22/61.

[disangjosa]

[jameycruz]

[novapup2001]

[ValsHere]

Music Mike you make life fun!!!! What a catchy little ditty.......I can almost see the back-up dancers wiggling! The energy is contagious.

Love it!

[themaltesebippy]

Bobby Rydell is an amazing singer!

[progrockman]

Love it!!!!!!!!!!

[brabon]

thanks mike...listening to you is like listening to old top 40 boss radio

[collinsjamesl]

Hey Mike! Another great post!  There are so many great songs out there over the past few decades that should have been huge hits. There always seems to be a handful of reporting major market radio stations that repeatedly hold back great sounding songs on the charts. Ultimately, leaving these great songs as mid-charted could've, should've beens.

[midtownjohn]

I'm from Philly and I never heard this one.

Before my time.

Thanks for posting this.
