What a great piece ! There are connections I didn't know: Tony Orlando and Ron Dante. And the latter lets me add something to your piece: There is a second disco version of the song. Ron Dante, like so many producers of his era, jumped on the disco bandwagon in 1979. His project was called Dante's Inferno and they recorded their version of "Could It Be Magic" (and kept Melissa in the lyrics although the target audience was clearly gay). Anyway now I understand why they recorded it 😃 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCfJtCvtmXE
Thanks for the info! I like Dante's version for the most part. The opening and the instrumental in the middle drags but the vocal interpretation is great.

The lifespan of a song is so fascinating! Thanks for sharing :)
