Blue Magic is an American R&B soul vocal quintet which was formed in Philadelphia in June 1973. They were signed with Atlantic Records in the same year. Blue Magic were one of the earliest acts produced by Norman Harris, a Philadelphia records veteran. The group's harmonies were supported by the MFSB house band.

Early releases were mainly confined to the R&B chart. Blue Magic became popular in 1974 with their first million-selling US Top 10 hit single Sideshow (co-written by Bobby Eli) and Three Ring Circus. They became known mostly for their smooth ballads. The album Thirteen Blue Magic Lane in 1975 maintained the groups popularity and spawned the popular dance track We're On The Right Track. Blue Magic had two R&B chart singles in 1975 and four in 1976.
