Pan’s People – You Can Do Magic

Top of the Pops, 3 August 1973: Pan’s People dance to You Can Do Magic by Limmie & Family Cookin’.

Hooray! Here’s another rare Pan’s People performance, Thanks to one of my generous anonymous donors.

A happy, energetic performance, with simple video overlay effects multiplying the dancers, invoking the “Magic” in the song title. This clip is only black & white, where the original broadcast would have been in colour: but the limited dark background, and the strong geometric diamond pattern of their off-the-shoulder dresses makes the performance easily watchable.

There are a few seconds missing from the end of the number (and perhaps one or two at the start): but since we’ed probably never get a chance to see this performance otherwise, I’m most grateful to the nameless provider. Many thanks.
