This is one group I've been threatening to really get into. I don't know why I haven't really gotten into them sooner. Their harmonies are wonderful. I guess I'll grab their greatest hits in the near future. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

"Side Show" is great, but I this is my favorite tune from them (reminds me of my dad, he loved these guys):

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Definitely get their first two albums,and their third one ('Thirteen Blue Magic Lane',released in 1975) which I consider their best work:

I don't know a whole lot about Blue Magic myself outside of Sideshow.

Are these Thom Bell produced albums?

That was actually ridiculous. The lead singer obviously was trying to fit in with the Soul Train crowd, did he do that at their actual concerts?! lol

Nope,their albums were produced by Norman Harris.He's from Philly too,so the music sounds like "The Philadelphia Sound"....very similiar to the stuff that Thom Bell was producing at the time.
