Question: Do you beive in Magic? Answer: Yes!!

On the road again: Lovin Spoonful. July 1965. Do you believe in Magic: was a popular song on the radio. Urban legend has it, the spoonful were on their last dollar and had only one hour of recording time. It was a 4-track machine. They rehearsed the song the day before and they nailed it. To their surprise, the song became a smash hit. The flip side was a song they recorded on a reel-to-reel tape-recorded. I might be wrong, so don’t quote me. On this song, they had fun making it. The band had a streak of humor. The music is Chuck Berry inspired. Isn’t most songs? The sound quality is kind of muddy. On the Bee Side #2
