"MAGIC MAN" - Artist: Robert Winters
(Ray Dewey and Jimmy George, writer-producers, Ray Dewey, arranger
Top Five Single with a Featured Vocalist, Number 3 R&B Single on-air play
"Magic Man...like Al Green's `Let's Stay Together' reaffirms the claims of R&B purists who say "real" soul music is what black crossover is all about." (Black Radio Exclusive)
"Seldom does a record absolutely stop this reporter... `Magic Man' did just that--it is pure music. This is one of those disks that comes along all too seldom, reaches down and tugs at the gut...the lyrics and music (are) outstanding." (Billboard)
"An outstanding love ballad... made especially for the ladies. It's crisp, clear, smooth and mellow; most important of all it has something to say." (Black Radio Exclusive)
"In the best tradition of soul balladeering, Winters'vocals are a blend of strength and suppleness on this exceptional single. More than equal to the latest R&B/pop hits by The Manhattans and Ray, Goodman & Brown." (Cashbox)
"Magic Man is a strong, stately R&B ballad that has become one of 1981's biggest surprises. Magic Man the album...is one of the finest traditional R&B albums released in some time." (Record World)
