The Magic Touch can refer to an R&B female vocal group from Long Island, which featured Pat Carty as lead vocalist [Diane Tyler would later take over as lead], Marsha Bivens and LaRonda Williams, that recorded the hit single Step Into My World on the Black Falcon label in April 1971, or a 1962 album by jazz arranger Tadd Dameron (full title: The Magic Touch of Tadd Dameron and His Orchestra), released on Riverside Records.
The female vocal group's entire catalog can be found on the CD Magic Touch & Friends.
With respect to the line-up of Tadd Dameron's orchestra, the Allmusic Review says that "one has to be in awe of them, and that only Dameron was able to convene such a band of extraordinary jazz performers in their prime."[2]
The album has since been reissued many times on Original Jazz Classics, most recently in 2008.[2]
