I saw you guys live years ago in Philly when Ted "The Wizard" was singing lead. I have multiple copies of all your albums, some never even played! ( Former DJ here).
Too bad Ted isn't with you anymore Rod does the best he can but Ted left big shoes to fill. Keep up the great work. There is only one BLUE MAGIC! Of all the Philly groups you were always my favorite. Peace.
allig8or Yes, there was a reggae version from around 1975.Check out 'Barry Briggs' 'Slideshow'. It's on here. His version is the one that was a more popular in the UK - well, in London anyway.
Looking for someone out there that can put together a composition of the R&B oldies, i.e. Manhattans, Temptations, Stylistics, O'Jays, Main Ingredient, Blue Magic, Floaters, Ray Goodman & Brown, Chi-Lites, Gladys Knight & Pips, Barry White, Teddy Pendlegras, Marvin Gaye, etc. Interested in purchasing from anyone that can put it on a CD or several CD's. I'm with Rangers in Afghanistan, missing my music back home. Just lost 3 buddys in my unit a few days ago over here. Might not make it home.
At wendall 1030 the guy that singing the lead singer in the video. From nashville name Rod. His mother ms.Grace and my father used to sing in a gospel group together. I didnt believe my dad until I just saw this. Were u the orginal from the showPBS patti labelle I have that on dvd yall got blue on
Wow...I remember when this song came out, I was 5 years old; my cousin bought the small 45 single...loved it then, love it now...thanks for the post...
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
In the beginning of Blue Magic there were five members they were, Richard Pratt, Keith Beaton, Ted Mills, Vernon Sawyer and myself Wendell Sawyer. We started in North Phila. that's where we grew up.
what's wrong with his voice, this is NOT the origanal singer,I've seen BLUE MAGIC a lot of times and this brother is not him ,please post the REAL ONE!
Your wrong scubuh1965 the three singing back ground are Original members I should know because I'm one of them, they are Keith Beaton,Vernon Sawyer and my self Wendell Sawyer.
@wendell1030 Pass my regards to Blue Magic man....this song is one of my favorites of all time!! i was born in the 70's and i believe its the greatest era ever of music in this planet!!
And this song is one of the main reasons why.... God bless you all man!!!
@wendell1030 I used to jam this song alot. Especially after I broke up with Carla back in 89. That was supposed to have been my highschool sweetie. But Keith Whats his name got her.
@wendell1030 I saw you perform at the Beacon Theatre for the 70's Soul Jam on February 12, 2011 in New York, NY!!! I live in Washington, DC, but went to NY for the SHOW! You guys were amazing in NY, just like when I saw you at Fort Dupont in D.C. Though I was only seven years old when this hit came out, I grew up listening to Blue Magic and others. If given the opportunity. I will go to see Blue Magic perform again soon. Kudos to yourself and the other members of Blue Magic....
Your wrong scubuh1965 the three singing back ground are Original members of Blue Magic they are, Wendell sawyer, Keith Beaton and Vernon Sawyer and I should know because I'm Wendell Sawyer and we are still performing all over the world. The lead singer is Rod Wayne and he replaced our original lead when he left the group, Rod has been our lead singer for fifteen years.
@wendell1030 Wow!!! I absolutely love this song!!!!!!!!! I remember hearing my father playing it..and when I heard it I fell in love instantly!! thanks fellas for making such great music that's still lasting through the years!
@wendell1030 With all due respect . if you're Wendell than I'm Elvis ! With a hunk of burnin' love for Blue Magic ! This was one of my favorite songs as a kid . I'm obviously joking about the Elvis comment. I do thank you and the "Magic" for the memories !
What an ugly, racist comment. I think musicians of all races these days cannot compare to those of the past--Justin Bieber, Lady Caca, Hilary Duff, Britney Spears, hello? Guess all races have gotten lazy, huh?
@lerenzie17 I know people don't think before they talk,but I'm sorry but it's not a color thing i should of say any body who does rap doesn't have any talent even eminem.
Dedico esta canción a mi prima Tinita que hace años la estaba buscando y que nos hace recordar momentos bellos de nuestra juventud, aqui esta tu canción viejonaaaaaaa, disfrutala!!!
somewhere there is a 1970's live version of this I heard it once but have no idea where to find it now..he also KILLED on that version so good maybe better than the recorded version..I mean it..find it!
gostaria de ter parado no tempo. quando ouço estas músicas, a minha vontade é guardar todos para não perder. se não fosse meu amigo Cleber passariam despercebidas.
I can remember when I was in elementary school these lil boys sang this in the talent show!!! They were so cute, all us girls had crushes on them :) Its a damn shame cuz schools don't even have talent shows anymore bcuz the quality of music out these days is so horrible that children today couldn't even perform the music out now even if they wanted too!!!!
brings back so many memories.....I have the album too...back in the day I loved blue magic and I still am a BIG fan today...thats why I am watching the video now..:)
If you really wanna see the three tenors of soul they have an album released and they really sound great together...they're also singing with the average white band and a few other guest stars of the 70's-- the CD is VERY nice--pick it up--you won't be sorry!!
Yes, let the side show begin,,,waaaa, such memories, my brother, and mother were alive then,, waaa, they loved Blue Magic. I remember the 12',,, we need this music back, but it's gone with the times,,,,at least we still have the records,,,
This is one of the most beautiful saddest song i have ever heard in my life. Who ever came up with the concept of this song is a genius because it took the tragic things that happen in our love lives and turned it into a sideshow. it revealed the sad realities of life and love. Beautiful song and very very very talented singers. I love blue magic.
That's Not Ted '' The Wizard'' Mills wHO wAS tHE Voice of Bluemagic .He Last Was Heard with the Three Tenors of Soul With William Hart [ Delfonics & Russell Thompkins jr.[ Stylistics] Put That on Youtube Baby!!!!!
Keep it alive! I was 13 years old / Curtiss jr. high / Carson Ca. , playing this song turned up in Mr. Serka's wood shop as the whole class got to listen to it. The good ole days! Good kids and good music and teachers too.
Love this!
