"Could It Be Magic" is a song by Adrienne Anderson and Barry Manilow. It was included on Manilow's 1973 debut album, Barry Manilow I.
Due to its success, it was released as a single in 1975 where it reached #6 in the United States.
Donna Summer also sang the same song on her album Love Trilogy in 1976, and took it to #3 on the US Dance chart.
The song is based on Frédéric Chopin's Prelude in C Minor, Opus 28, Number 20, and Manilow's singing in the last verse fades into a straight performance of the last few bars of the Prelude.
