Yes, I LOVE IT. I got it on cassette dubbed from an old 45 RPM.

Not a big fan of Olivia at all. This is probably the only song by her I actually like.

I've always been quite fond of Olivia's tracks.

I like it and I hate "Physical." I'd have to agree. "Magic" is my favorite of all of her songs. I was 12 years old when it was popular in the summer of '80. I spent much of that summer in California, and heard it all the time. Loved it then, and still like it a lot. I liked "Physical" when it was new, but I remember getting sick of it fast! To this day I can't figure out what was so great about it that earned a 10-week run at #1. ???  |

Great song. Casey mentioned this (and other "magic" songs) on last weekend's AT10.

I like this one. I prefer "Physical" and "Xanadu", however, this one comes close. My favorite of hers. Someone should cover it. Kylie? Kylie would be perfect. Dannii reportedly covered "Xanadu" for her new Club Disco album. |

Just saw this used in the Leftovers TV show. What an F-ed up show that is.
Olivia is by far one of the most incredibly beautiful women I have ever seen. Great voice. This song was pop perfection from one of my favorite albums of all time. I could go on and on.

Didn't know this song existed until I started listening to old 80s "American Top 40 w/Casey Kasem" shows. Until then, the only Olivia Newton-John songs I was familiar with was "Physical" (which I hated) and the duet with John Travolta in "Grease" ('You're the One That I Want"). I really liked this song and is my favorite from Olivia Newton-John.

This is her best imo. A dreamy vocal and technical marvel, that bass line sounds like it’s floating in time.
