Monday Morning.... Lets do Magic this week ! You Can Do Magic proved a solid comeback vehicle for America whose last Top 40 hit - Todays the Day - had occurred in 1976 with the second of their two further appearances on the Hot 100 in Billboard occurring in 1979. You Can Do Magic returned America to the Top 40 in August 1982 with the track reaching #8 that October.The popularity of You Can Do Magic was paralleled by the success of the parent View From the Ground album which rose to #41 on Billboards listing of the top 200 albums, the first time an album by America as a duo (rather than the original trio) had appeared in that charts upper half. International chart placings for Americas You Can Do Magic include #30 in Australia, #37 in Canada,#20 in Ireland, #27 in Italy, #12 in New Zealand and #59 in the UK. The success of You Can Do Magic led to America recording their 1983 album Your Move with Russ Ballard as producer, but he also wrote it and played most of the instruments on the recording.
