David Paton & Pilot making ‘Magic’ circa late ’74 – early ’75.

Hey, I’m turning 50 today! In celebration, I’m putting on Pilot’s boffo socko hit disc from 1975, “Magic.” It’s my party and I may just bubblegum pop all day, dangit!

“Magic” originally appeared on Pilot’s From the Album of the Same Name L.P. in 1974. This magical slice of pure pop goodness made it to #5 on the US Hot 100 and #11 on the UK Singles Chart.
