Written by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, Heart's "Magic Man" is about a young woman who meets the so-called "magic man" and agrees to hang out with him and "get high for awhile."
Heart's first single peaked at No. 9 on the charts in 1975. It was released by Mushroom Records.

"Magic Man" Lyrics
Cold, late night so long ago When I was not so strong you know A pretty man came to me I never seen eyes so blue You know, I could not run away it seemed We'd seen each other in a dream Seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me, yeah
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile "You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile But try to understand, try to understand Try, try, try to understand, I'm a magic man"
Nancy and Ann Wilson, circa 1975
Winter nights we sang in tune Played inside the months of moon "Never think of never let this spell last forever" Well, summer lover passed to fall Tried to realize it all Mama says she's worried, growing up in a hurry
