Blue Magic was a 70s Philadelphia soul group who was not produced by Thom Bell or Gamble and Huff, but by Norman Harris. Blue Magic’s song, Sideshow, stands as a 70s soul classic. Blue Magic’s successful run as a group was short-lived, basically from 73-77, but they delivered some excellent music and Ted ‘Wizard’ Mills was one of the great falsetto voices of the 70s, along with William Hart (The Delfonics), Russell Thompkins Jr (The Stylistics) and Philip Bailey (Earth, Wind and Fire). #musichis
