  • Could It Be Magic é uma canção composta por Adrienne Anderson e por Barry Manilow. Foi incluída no álbum de estreia de Barry Manilow em 1973, Barry Manilow I. Devido à sua popularidade, foi lançada como single em 1975, dois anos depois de ter sido originalmente gravada, onde alcançou a posição #6 nos Estados Unidos. A canção é baseada no Prelúdio em C Menor de Frédéric Chopin, Opus 28, número 20, e cantado no último versículo desbota uma performance em linha recta dos poucos últimos compassos do Prelúdio. A canção foi regravada por vários outros artistas ao longo dos anos, a maioria com sucesso por Donna Summer, em 1976, e no Reino Unido a banda Take That no início de 1990. Manilow regravou uma versão up-tempo da canção em 1993, com a orquestração original de metais e cordas combinado com bateria nova, baixo e sintetizadores, que incluiu no álbum Greatest Hits: The Platinum Collection. Um remix estendido da versão de 1993 foi emitido como um single promocional de 12 polegadas. No Brasil, a música foi regravada pela Rainha do Rebolado, Gretchen, em 2000 para o seu CD "La Pasion", sendo considerada uma das melhores regravações da carreira da cantora. (pt)
