MAGIC MAN
“Magic Man” is a song by the American rock band Heart. The single was released in Canada in June 1975, and in America in 1976 as the second single from the band’s debut album Dreamboat Annie. Written by Ann and Nancy Wilson, the song is sung from the viewpoint of a young girl who is being seduced by an older man (referred to as a Magic Man), much to the chagrin of her mother, who calls and begs the girl to come home. “Magic Man” became Heart’s first Top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The first album by Heart, Dreamboat Annie was released in 1975 and is one of my favorite albums of the 1970’s. The album spawned two hit singles, “Magic Man” and “Crazy on You”; but it sounds even better as an album to these ears. Numerous hit albums followed, with hits that included “Barracuda”, “Dog and Butterfly”, “These Dreams”, “What About Love?”, “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You”, and many more.
