I didn't ask you to try to name the singer. Read the line. He described being able to do certain things. If we take as given that he is not lying, what is he?
It's not an obscure song. It's about 40 years old, or older. It shares its title with a song from "Heart."
Based on the opening line, how would you describe the singer?
This song was not the same song as the one Heart did, but they had the same name. I dislike when that happens, but what can I do? Some artists don't care if that happens. (Four Non-Blondes released their one hit as "What's Up?" because they didn't want to get it confused with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On?" despite that being in the lyrics of both songs.)
"Robert Winters & Fall" released "Magic Man" about 43 years ago, in 1981. It was the title cut of an album obviously by the same name.
"Do It Any Way You Want" also charted, so Robert Winters was not a one-hit wonder.
"Here come old flat-top, he come groovin' up slowly."
George
"Come Together."
Oddly enough, I'm more familiar with Aerosmith's cover of the song than the Beatles' original release. Aerosmith included it on Volume 1 of their Greatest Hits.
The name of the song is commonly known but probably thought of as "Have you seen my wife Mr. Jones", but it is not.
Admittingly, I had to look on ~Bee Gees Timeless~ album which I own, to remember the title which is "New York Mining Disaster 1941". I wouldn't consider it cheating, (but idk, maybe it is) own the It's a difficult title to come up with off the top of your head.

Yes WordWolf, One of my very favorite songs. Hopes the memories are good ones. Your answer, of course, is spot on. Your go!

I agree with you about "Who's Nect" and äqualung". I'm more familiar with The Doors by their catalog than which song is on what album, but I know enough to know you just mentioned "L.A. WOMA

Is this song WordWolf, by a group or a solo artist?

It's listed officially as a group, but it's realistically a solo artist, IMHO.

I think you've done that line before and I didn't know it then either.

Correct!
On the R&B charts, it did VERY well. It crossed over enough that I heard it a lot. It's quite good.

For reference, who sang "Magic-Man" besides 'Heart'?

According to Wikipedia, the Heart song "Magic Man" was also covered by Dolly Parton with Ann Wilson in 2023 for Dolly Parton's musicalbum "Rockstar."
