Ms. Flack betta sang that song! Mama was in her bag on this. Totally in her vibe. Love this live performance of Mr. Magic. She slightly changes her phrasing from how she does it on the album. One of my FAVORITE songs on the Feel Like Making Love album. ❤️💫✨🔥🔥🔥🤌🏾
This was an awesome performance. Roberta was soul sister #1 on this piece. Just found this video about 1 year ago. Never even knew lyrics were paired with this song.
Amy Winehouse didn't do a "version" of this; rather, the refrain of her song "Mr Magic (Through the Smoke)" uses a few bars of Flack's melody. Winehouse's isn't a cover; it's a separate song that quotes, or samples, or pays homage to Flack's. She did the same with "October Song," which, among other things, pays homage to Sarah Vaughn and to "Lullaby of Birdland."
Amy winehouse does sing Mr. Magic, a song by Ralph McDonarld & Richard Salter, as well as does Roberta Flack or Carmen McRae. It's definitely the same song than played also by Grover Washington Jr. I don't have comment to make as regards which version kills it. Each artist has is/her own feeling and interpretation.
Actually, Amy's Mr. Magic is a direct copy of the 1975 Grover Washington arrangement of this same Ralph MacDonald tune. She put her own words to Grovers improvised melody. The chord progression is exactly the same on all three versions. Ralph MacDonald played on both the Roberta Flack arrangement and Grover's huge hit. The song as played by Grover Washington and Amy Winehouse has become one of the most popular "New Standards" played by jazz and fusion musicians.
@@anthonyrivers5446 please... Charlie Parker quoted liberally from all his many influences, and then put his own bebop melodies onto changes to pop songs he enjoyed jamming on. all artists show who influenced them. the purest form of flattery is imitation; vocalists who give yet another dimension to a recorded performance that has become tremendously meaningful are my own role models and heroes. apologies if you were just being facetious

George Pyle and the Flip Wilson House Band was the BIDNESS!
This performance is from The FLIP WILSON SHOW
I thought it was the Flip Wilson show.
RIP Ralph MacDonald.
This is a live p[erformance of the original version, made BEFORE Grover Washington removed the lyrics and AMY WINEHOUSE changed them!
Thanks for the information. I should have know Grover Washington covered this song because
I remember her version.
I like this version better than the vinyl! George Pyle you BEAST you, back there in the pocket.
Eric Gale doing what he does best here.
INCOMPARABLE. That man made every track he touched just by being on it. Master.
The original video. Now where is the original audio score on the 1974 album?
I think this is on the "feel like makin love" album/cd
Yep 😊
😍😍😍
Anyone know of a higher quality version of this?? It's so good. Not the same as the album version.
Mr Magic :Grover Washington Jr
I lovingly refer to Grover’s cover as The Remix. I LOOOOVE how he flipped this. Two awesome versions. 🤗💜💫✨
I Looking for 2000 version on Vocals
