Welcome to normal time!!!!! That magical time of year when we get real time! 
Speaking of magic, here’s another song with “magic” in the title, a countdown I began thanks to all these people who “magically” appear for one comment, then leave. 
Here’s today’s tune.
#6: This Magic Moment - Jay & the Americans
Yes, this is a cover. I would have used the Drifters’ version, except for the fact that Jay Black, the leader of Jay & the Americans, passed away last month. (You’ll see him on the obits list when I get it posted.)

From Sands of Time, 1968
(Also by the Drifters, 1960)

There’s one song that wasn’t a hit on the list. Everything else you probably know.
