Lost my dad at 9 years old, this was one of the songs that he would play on the radio when we would drive together. I miss you dad ❤️ ❤️❤️
He obviously had great taste...Much love to you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 3:48
My condolences friend
Blessings & Cheers! from Muskegon, MI
Keep the good thoughts in your heart of him and he will always be with you 🙏💪👊🌞
It’s a crime that America isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Neither is Kansas and that is the crime of all crimes.
They are in mine..this whole album comes out of my dashboard weekly
@Cheslie well, they couldn't make it sunday cause they got so damned depressed
@@toddwieland7664 Good one,lol.Great material.
Yeah, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in America. Just saying!
Thank God for another beautiful day🥳🔮
❤❤❤❤
Who's here in 2024 with one of America's best from 1982?
Me
Me tooooo
You're not alone. One of the best
🙋♂
Me!!!!!
This is one of the most innocent songs I've ever heard, pure magic
Practicing magic will send you to hell, it aint so innocent however great song :D
@@YahYesh777dude your taking it too far it’s not literally meaning u can do witchcraft it’s just a supplemented word to make the song flow better
@@renjii1758 I don't know. I like the song too, but Samwise might be more right than wrong. Take a quick look at the band "Coven," which also came out of Laurel Canyon just like these pretentious pretty boys.
@@dogperday They got together at an Air Force Base in the U.K. not Laurel Canyon.
@@YahYesh777 Especially when you hypnotize with those eyes
As a 26 year old who just discovered this song today... Holy heck, I'M HOOKED!!

America has a treasure trove.of hits
Check out the video for "Woman Tonight" from '75. You'll love it!
Good for you!
It's magic!
This group is absolute MAGIC! They transcend
You can do Magic They Taught us
You can do magic, you can have ANYTHING that you desire!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think it’s one of the best songs ever created. It can be heard in a loop, easy to sing, neither too slow nor too fast, it speaks of love on several levels of reading, and more than anything: it is timeless.
Abolutely!
I agree, when people sang and no “voice correction” pure raw feel good music from 70’s!
It is magic
Well put 👍 (by the way Happy Halloween, it's October 31st 2023! 🎃)
Allora non sono la sola ad ascoltarla in loop. Mi fa piacere ❤️
Dear whoever is reading this, we don't know each other and there is a strong possibility we might never meet, but I wish nothing but the best and happiness for you ❤️🤙
That is so sweet thank you I wish you the absolute same god love you
Same to you friend. Keep your head up.
Thanks brother. All the same to you as well
R.I.P. my dear dear Vincent, I'll miss you my child
Thank you Vincent much happiness to you
This band was underated because they were clean cut, well dressed, apolitical, not into pot, LSD, controversial relationships, etc, etc.
Timeless CLASSIC! Listening to it in 2023 and it still sounds so great!
Did you know that the guy in the stripe shirt died
No! I did not know that! 😢
No, that is Dewey Bunnell and he is very much alive. The one who died was Dan Peek. @@melissarichardson9126
Yes and all you can do is smile when you hear this while riding down the highway
Can’t help but love it.
The 1.2k dislikes are from people who can’t do magic
So true ………… !!!!!
Ice heads 🤙🏾
Indeed
Poor them!
they can probably do no good in this world either..👀tsk
The innocence of this video brings me so many wonderful memories of the 70’s. I loved this band back in the day.
No literal sus letras,buenaza❤❤❤
True this particular song was from 1982
Yes I remember seeing this video on MTV in the 80’s but the most memorable songs were from the 70’s in high school for me 💕
I know I'm kind of late, but this is when people made REAL music
People still make real music today. It's called bluegrass!
Better late than never. I'm late to the party too but a song like this is timeless and can be complimented any time!
People have never stopped making real music. Genres are constantly developing, but we have an increasingly vast catalog of music available to choose from.
It's never too late yo. Welcome 😊
YES !!!!
I'm here in 2024. America was one of the all-time wonderful bands of the 70s
Seriously, the 80's had music that took you somewhere I can only describe as a kind of paradise.
Fun was on an upward trajectory in the 80's
Yeah no hassle and stress like today
@@ianwilliams2387 music in the 80s🥳👍 society in the 80s💀☠️
Mix supermix
Hi,whats the name of the first voice ?
America is one of the best bands period. Real musicians.
Your canal is beatufy
Seu canal é legal,boa sorte nele 🙂
Really 🤭
There's still a comma, they are Americans. My wife and I watched their concert twice here in Reno, Nevada.
I am glad there are others that feel as i do. Best band in my top 3 for sure
This song... like a lot of classics...ages better than fine wine
America should have been given with far more recognition. My favourite band!!! I do hope songs like these stand the test of time..
Anyone here thinks they should be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? they've been snubbed for a very long time , I think they deserved such recognition
Yes. A long time ago.
IT'S A TRAVESTY,THEY WERE ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THE 70'S TO MID 80'S , HOPE THEY MAKE IT!!
❤️
America should've been inducted at their inception. Lol! One of the first bands I remember hearing in my life. They're the heartbeat of the soundtrack of life ❤️
@@gregh7400 is.
I'm 27 and I went to see them live yesterday in Tunica, Mississippi. Man they've still got it. Opening it with "Tin Man" and closing it with "Horse with no name". just wow!!!!!! We used to listen to them in a Radio speaker back in India with my brothers and seeing them live yesterday was just the dream man!!!. Probably me and my friend were the only one's in our 20's when the whole crowd was 50,60+ lol. The beer was good and so was the music!!!!!
How lucky you are !! They were, are and will be te best ever with Hall & Oates 🤷♀️ i pity young people of your generation with the c………nowadays music
Awww you are so lucky!!
@@christinebethencourt6197 you mean "music" where the C fell off the front (RAP) Kids today have no idea.
Coming from India and like you listening to these gems on radio...I can feel your feel when you watched them live 🙂..stay blessed
You are so lucky!!!!
Always loved this song. Went to Vegas last summer and this was played in almost every casino. Now I can't stop listening to it. These dudes are legends,
You cant beat true talent, not regurgitated music , original and magical music each song has a message , love these guys from an 80s lady, they will never age and their message will always ressonate ...
I know It's soon to be 2023 but... nothing beats the 80's. ✊
100% true
Business in front , party in the back
I agree. Best time of my life
Damn skippy
This sounds like 70's to me , though it came out in early eighties
Their music was magic, pure and simple. No pyrotechnics, no screaming, no dirty lyrics. God, I wish we could go back to that great time.
Fuck yeah!
Best time ever!!!
It is a great song💥💖, but if you're talking of the entire time of the 80s ,THEN yeah there were lots of screaming, yelling,dirty lyrics going on in that time period by the metal bands & rappers ,so it wasnt a simpler time ,just a cooler music genre, like cool jazz & funk or classic...beautiful tune though👍🏼💓
I listen to those song. But I consider this safe space music..
Well, they do say "darn" in this song.
How can a song like this have dislikes?? Cmon man!
The same way ppl support maga. Insane
America is very underrated!!!!! One of my favorite bands....it's just a statement..what's up with all these personal shots at me? I love this band.. literally have them on my personal playlist w bands like bread .england Dan ..Paul Davis..firefall...taking personal shots at ppl for there statement or opinion is overrated 😂 have a good day ' America'
Absolutely right - definitely underrated ...... their discography is amazing and Maybe they didn't wreck hotel rooms on tour, flash their junk at women, or get into fights!!!!
@djj: Geez where were you during their peak popularity and by whose standards are they underrated? America in the 70s was definitely NOT underrated. Their music was ubiquitous and they were lauded for their unique sound. ❤❤❤
Me too
@@MsMars.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yes it's sad that America didn't get the recognition they deserved. Ask anyone they will tell you that they are a part of our childhood memories.
Agreed
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This song Makes me travel to the time when i Was a teen...oh those years
So true.
Long car trips listening to “in the dessert,” I remember that.
One of the great classics that never gets old.
❤❤❤❤❤
Indeed it is
Just one of the great songs of America great unbelievable like everything by this great band
@@michaelbis8588 1:15 mñ3 y .v
Ageless magic right here.
I agree with most of comments here; they portray an aura of love and warm in a sometimes stone cold world.
Who's here in April of 2024?
Me🎉🎉🎉 America is alongside with the Bee Gees the quintessential American band of all times
eu... Portugal ✍️✍️✍️👌
Me :).
I'm listen from Londrina PR Brazil. Sweet remember😊😊😊
Me, from Lantana, Palm Beach, Florida
Too bad this band was so underrated nowadays. However, for those of us who like good music, it will always be among the best.
Yep
you are so right.
Too bad your musical knowledge is so crap!! (with all due respect). This band was huge!!
It wasn't underrated at all. If anything, it was overplayed on the radio. I dare say it was overrated (although I do like this song!).
@@DJKinney U have a point but when compared 2 Elton John, America's DEFINITELY UNDERR8D!!!!!! I base it on their similar musicals styles & chart success. Since the MAJORITY of America's members r from England (& the fact that America & Elton John r classified as "soft rock/pop", America was the far superior talent but Elton John got the accolades. There4, the term "underr8d" RE: America is very accur8 indeed.
These guys had a warm, magic way of their own. It never gets old, and helps me feel better about aging out!
I can easily say that the best thing about being old right now is that we got to experience the late 20th century. It'll just never be beat in terms of exciting new entertainment. Especially music.
I'm in their age group, so if they can rock on, so can I.
❤❤
@@Laidengizer011 The 60's and 80's. America, especially this song just is so beautiful how they are in sync with vocal's and body movements. What also makes them stand out is they are innocently being HOT! Much Blessings to them and family!
@@JoleneSailer What about the 50s, 70s and 90s?? Still some great new stuff there.
Amazing ❤...21 april 2024 This song is awesome, beautiful sound ❤️🇮🇹🇺🇸❤
The intro is pure magic……you know darn well when you cast your spell.
This song AND "horse with no name" are the epitomies of the perfect song..this band was magic 👍🏽❤❤❤❤❤

Ventura highway magic horse with no name wonderful songs
Tin Man and Lonely People are great too.
Just 5 guys on a stage with guitars and drums, no fancy clothes or fancy anything but yet this is one of the best bands to ever exist! there are so many from this era but these guys are way up in the top and best of the best!

My favorite America song of all time is "Horse with No Name," about the foray in the desert. This song is number two for me. What an AWESOME GROUP with timeless appeal!
Ventura Highway is up there too !
Absolutely Agreed buddy! @@whoohooles123
What about Tin Man? America's finest song, they were very prolific.
My favorite America song is "You Can Do Magic." The runner up is " Daisy Jane."
@@nicholasjolt6200 YES! Daisy Jane's a good one for sure as well Nicholas! Cheers.
DAMN!! These handsome hunks can sing and melt your heart. Amen
Sorry for @SK-ho5dj Sad for your loss of your Dad. Now, just you listen, your Dad would want the utmost of happiness for you. Listening to the quiet.
Asta magia con esas bonitas rolitas en las disco inolvidables tiempos 70
This song reminds me of my late husband Adam. Missing him everyday... 1965-2016
I hear you. Lost my younger only brother. 1979-2002. It's weird this music brings me back to when I had a brother. So sorry for your loss. God bless you.
It reminds me of my mom. She passed on in 2017. She loved this song. I was young but I loved it then and still. Great song 🎵
All most my ege Im still listening to this beatyfull melody for you an your great Man¡!
God bless you sorry forma you loss
@@swatterbirdwatts6680 Thank you
*This song IS magic! Such beautiful harmonization and heartfelt singing.Perfection*
What a pretty and most fascinating woman ,hello my darling ?
*The song is just so pretty.I'm from Illinois*@@GrillDavid-01
*I had a great day! I was able to spend time shopping with my daughter and grandson.Then came home and listened to great music with the hubby*@@GrillDavid-01
The main singer with the glasses and dimples is very sweet.
Today's music airwaves is desperately lacking in this type of music. Music that is raw, melodic, emotionally uplifting, and resonates with our feelings.
check out Mayer Hawthorne - Crime
Heck today music most lacks anything good in it, musicians who lack any talent except the ability to scream in to a microphone or cuss and call that good music.
perhaps not so much with the younger on average though listener's yes, they may see as well as we just individually and more.
. . . check out Alizee or Joyce Jonathan. . .quality music has a universal sound. . . you don't have to speak or understand French. . .but you, if you are open to new sounds, can sense and feel the pure magic in the next generations and their transcending music that will blow away stuff from the 20th century. . just wait a decade or so. . .(the comments above are IMHO) & the fact that historically all music evolves, changes & progresses into new sounds & genres by observing & practicing the previous generations works AND then thru hard work, some luck & inner inspiration from their selves or their friends take music to the next level. . . have faith that things WILL improve & get better. . .the BEST is yet to come. . .
Oy Vey!
Incredibly underrated band of the 70-80's
La época dorada!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The MOST underrated band of all time.
With Toto
And I'd have to say one of THE BEST ever!
I agree
I always come back to listen to this beautiful song ❤
Anyone who dislikes this trailblazing song that never gets old does not know music!!! Some people just do not understand it’s these groups and songs that set the music world on fire at the time !! Angelia Denise you can do magic ! You transformed my entire life with your magical love!! I love you !!
Late 1970's at the town pool in a small midwest American town on a warm summer day, America playing on the pool speakers for the teenage lifeguards. I was around 10 years old and the summer seemed long - no school in sight, there was nothing but the pure freedom of childhood and summer play, tomorrow and the next days would be the same, as far as my youthful eyes could see. I can remember that feeling of blissful freedom, but I will never experience it again. This band and a few others are tangled up in those good memories.
Niiice
Can you name the other bands? Would love to get some recommendations
@@larrydavid6575 Thanks for the invite to walk down memory lane. Let's see... I remember Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Paul McCartney and Wings, Heart, Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffett, REO Speedwagon, Steve Miller Band, the Who. The 70's were great for pop music. Since then its been a horror show, imho. Cheers!
Well summed up. The late 60s - 70s were surreal and the music was as well.
@@larrydavid6575 - try the Eagles. They were similar
This was magic, nobody makes such beautiful and melodious music anymore.
I love the manic Psychotic way you bring it baby.
surrely, kisses, from France.......... And LOVE
And, with NO auto-tune crap! 👍
"You Can Do Magic" is a song by singer-songwriter Russ Ballard that was recorded as a 1982 single by folk rock duo America from their album View from the Ground.
yes they do ausyun amd ally baióy cidey
This was my very best America song. You can do magic." I have their music collection and continue to play it.. Outstanding band America 😊
The thing is: MAGICK IS REAL and exists in the real world! with magick we can do almost ANYTHING and reshape our reality.
But God says magic is very bad
This Song will never get old to me.. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I know right :)
God this song is awful 👎
Me either
BEST SONG EVER
Never!
Great song, I remember the part where they sing "and if I wanted to, I could never be free" really got to me, I miss the days when pop music sounded like this, I consider 1975 to 1984 to be the best era of pop music
La mejor época de muchas personas... de mi vida.
U got that right 😂
Tenho 72anos e fiz parte dessa época muito prazerosa pra mim. Quem viveu nessa época sabe dq estou falando.
I do too !!!!!!!!!!!!!! love
Muy de acuerdo 👏contigo...saludos 👏desde Cali Colombia.
Great song, one of the best. From a time when you could understand the song and it wasn't about violence, no profanity and the music made you feel good.
Wonderful song. Thank you so much. Happy Holidays to everyone!
This song takes me back to the late 70s when skating rinks were popular. Makes me think of sun and wind blowing through my hair...I love this song!
this song was released way back in 1982
Love it! 🛼
I would looove to run a business like that ;D Skating is so much fun especially to music Rhonda
What a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my darling ?
Spent 4 weeks at #8 on Billboard in 1982.
Sometimes, simple is best. No gimmicks, just a great song. Best wishes from England 🇬🇧 👏
harry potter
England is great
Magic!! 🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻
One of my all time fav bands. They could do magic ❤️🔥
This song just brings the stress down. Nice and easy to sway your stress away.
America did some Magic when they wrote this great song.
Hope their Magic works now 🙂
Russ Ballard wrote it!!!
They didn't write this song. Russ Ballard wrote it.
@@geerterri Yes, you needed to clarify it!. They sang it, maybe better than magic Russ!
2020 for the lonely people American as apple pie
I just discovered them and they are just pure magic. Amazing.
Only America can produce such a brilliant piece of art.
I forgot how good this song was and still is. The lyrics are very clever. This music is beautiful. Thank you Men.
This is one of my favorites songs from the many thousands that I have heard across 55 years of living. Also there is something about this video that is so attractive to watch. A fine group of musicians and singers who look like real men who create world class music.
I love this band
I hear you, I was 15 when this came out. Time really blows by!
This band is one of my favorites from the 70s still today
America another song i grew up on when i was young everywhere i went that song was playing & there i was singing it like crazy a song of memories still enjoy listening to America the best song , off topic but i have been curious for a while, I intend retiring/working much less in 5 years and keen to know best, how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments? I earn up to $180K per year, but nothing to show for it yet
My younger days song, for someone who needs some catch-up, consider the 80/20 model. Needs and wants / Investments
There are a lot of people like this. Im 52 and just getting serious about retirement. Its sad because the time to get serious was 20 years ago or even younger.
For me, I'm quite lucky exposed to financial planning at early age, started work at 21 and invested to my 401k through my employer, going forward I purchased first home at 33, unfortunately got laid-off afterwards, amid 2020 covid-outbreak. At once, I hired an advisor to help stay afloat, and as of today, I'm only 25% short of achieving my 7-figure ballpark goal after subsequents investments.
bravo, this is striking! mind sharing info of the advisor guiding you pleas? i'm in dire need of growing my reserve
My advisor is Laura Grace Abels, a renowned figure in portfolio diversity. I recommend researching her further on the web, she's well established with over two decades of experience in her line of work.
Listening to this is like being wrapped in a soft, warm blanket.
❤💋in arms of love
Yes! Under a warm blanket pitching a tent...
Their harmonies are sublime!
"A heart of stone can turn to clay", "whit a word you dry my tears". This guys were the best poets of his time.
The beautiful music goes on over the time ❤
This song was only presented to me within the past year but it’s quickly become one of my favourite songs ever. Only 30 years of age myself and this song makes me happy in ways today’s music never could. Love to America 🇺🇸
Masterpiece! Nobody makes music that lasts anymore. Kids, this is what actual talent sounds like. 😁
I know today’s Music is just trashy Old School Music is the best
excuse me I'm 13 and love this soft rock music from late 70's early 80's about 79-82 this is my favorite song my dad introduced it to me he grew up in a great time he graduated in 1981
Amen to that
It's more of a cheap, disposable product these days. Just another commodity to be churned out as quickly and easily as possible.
@@Richard-Allen Your dad graduated the year I was born. I've recently had a bit of a focus on the time period you referenced. A little wider though. But the early 80s was the last time we were really quaint and old fashioned like that. Before things got more modern and digital and flashy in the 80s. The Jackson Browne, Robbie Dupree sort of days.
This song is truly magic!
That,s Right
It sucks, just kidding.
See whatcha' did there....😊
I had the privilege to see them face to face in a concert here in Lima back in 1994. Simply awesome and unforgettable !!
❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉As a United States citizen living in NZ this song reminds me of the times i studied at home and in Switzerland. William. ❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉
"We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our brother and beloved drummer of 41 years. "Willie (Leacox) was an integral part of the America family and we cherish the time that we shared with him through this crazy journey." Rest easy, Willie Leacox. Your drumming was excellent. 🙏🏽
WTF?! OH, MAAAAN!!! He was live in MT in 2000!
Rest In Peace, Willie. You're gone now, but will never be forgotten.
He lived in Stockton Ca! I live close to there. Sad of his passing. He was still young only 74 years old.
cool 😎😘
A wonderful drummer and true pro ! I loved the way he and David would really lock it down when they played live.
Love this song so much. My ex husband sent me this link, reminding me that I used to sing it to my son when he was a baby on the changing table. When I used to say 'You can do Magic" I used to say "Bing Bing," in a high voice and he would giggle and giggle. A beautiful memory... unfortunately, he was killed in April 2002 at the age of 20. I always wanted to recreate this memory with my grandchildren. We'll see...hopefully soon now that my daughter has found her forever love. ❤️
❤ beautiful story. sorry for your loss
❤️🙏❤️

You know darn well, when you cast spell, you'll get your way, when you hypnotize with your eyes, a heart of stone will turn to clay. NOBODY WRITES SO ELOQUENTLY LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!!
Oh my goodness...I just heard this song for the first time ever!!! And I can't stop! That's such an awesome song ❤
Young pup!
It's pretty "cool".
Welcome to the club. I love America.
I heard it way back in the day as a teen in the 80's.
Not only this one try the tin man great album ❤
People just don’t understand great music, and they all play their own instruments!
2024?🎉
America !! "A Horse With No Name" and "You Can Do Magic", "Sister Golden Hair "....💥💥💥 Also can't forget "Tin Man" and "Muskrat Love". My teen and early 20s were blessed with music like this. Was never ashamed to tell anyone I loved this stuff 😍
Still one of my favorite bands of all time.
What a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my Beauty ?

Hello fans of America VEVO, I'm sorry for writing you here 😊 hope you don't mind,I was here when I saw your beautiful profile and I decided to write with you 🥰🤝
A positive message for humanity. Take care, be wise, and mindful of others.
Timeless perfection! When you finally see them, you KNOW there's no doubt, pure magic
Sadly, this would prove to be Americas only Top 10 hit during the 80s. They ruled the 70s and deserved more recognition for their 80s output. Thankfully they're still touring and are today held in high regard as masters of Soft Rock!
I'd consider them lucky to pull this off in the 80s
Are they all still living?
@@emilymalden3310 America were originally Dan Peek, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell. As a trio they would score several hits between 1972 and 1977. Dan Peek left the band in 1977 and America continued on as a duo, Beckley and Bunnell, and they would release several albums between 1979 and 1985, still only one single, You Can Do Magic became a big hit. The other players in this video were their backing band, both on record and in live settings. Beckley and Bunnell has kept going and are still active in 2021, although there's been 10 years since their last album. Dan Peek became a successful Christian contemporary artist but sadly died in 2009. America is a great band, in fact one of my all time favourites!
@@emilymalden3310 Just in case you're not familiar with the band here's some info: America basically were a close harmony Folk Rock trio inspired by Crosby Still and Nash and hit the big time with their first single on Warner Brothers, the now classic A Horse With No Name. Although they would would score a couple of follow up hits in 1972/1973, things really went into the stratosphere when they got Beatles producer George Martin to produce their albums, starting with Holiday in 1974 and Hearts in 1975. Massive hit singles like Sister Golden Hair and Lonely People made America arguably the equal of The Eagles in term of commercial and artistic impact. Things begun to go sour in the late 70s, after losing Dan Peek to religion and the music climate was changing as well, moving away from the Soft Rock of America to New wave and Disco inflected music. Still they were a popular touring ensemble and would get a comeback hit in 1982 with You Can Do Magic, a more hook laden synth popper. More or less not a functional concern in the mid/ late 80s, Beckley and Bunnell resurrected America in the mid 90s and have been relaxing albums sporadically ever since. As a touring band, they're massively popular and they're first class artists, singers and songwriters, writing more or less every song they record themselves. Their to date latest album Back Pages, however, consisted of 12 cover songs and it's a fine album. God bless America! The band, that is!
@@emilymalden3310 I'm a huge 60s/ 70s poprock fan and I would like to point you to my favourite artist of all time, Gilbert O'Sullivan. Are you familiar with him? An English/Irish pop artist who was one of the biggest pop stars between 1970 and 1975. Hits such as Alone Again Naturally, Clair and Get Down were all charttopper either in Britain or America. He blended Beatle esque pop songcraft with music hall sensibilities and wrote some unique songs! He's still going strong in 2021!
the 80s were the golden years of music! PERIOD!
Absolutely one of my favorite all time songs - I just feel good when I hear it every time! I love the harmony.
They look like a group of summer camp counselors, but they could sure make music!
This song is a classic from the'80's. Still listening to this in 2019
Whoever you are, if you’re listening to this, you have a very good taste in music! 🤗❤💯👍
I am David from Carrollton ga God has given me another day here on this earth in on and with America that's the way it is in my house we will serve the lord
This band can do magic. What an amazing song, I can't stop listening to it. It's timeless.
I was 12, loved this song, always come back to it throughout my 52 years and believe it.

I was in the 4th grade when I fell in love with this...still love it at age 50,,2024. So, magic. Magic
in 1991, i was looking in my mom's old stuff , i found a tape and this song was in it, fell in love with it without even knowing anything about the band, not even the name....still love it in 2021.

Nothing beats early 80s soft rock lol.
Yacht Rock
Absolutely!
@@RB725GamingHD If this is yacht rock it's better than life under a bridge rock or suicide rock of the 90s and beyond.
Well said & amen!!
