Mike Oldfield - Magic Touch Lyrics

Even MTV played this one, to their credit.

Que guapo

Sin duda este hombre tiene un toque mágico

Fun fact : That song is from 1988 toward the end of the eighties ! 💕
Yeah I know : Stylistically speaking it shows ... 😂

Curioso. Este vídeo clip está dirigido por Alex Proyas, director de El Cuervo, I Robot y Dark City entre otras.

Vocals are by Max Bacon from GTR and Bronz

Max Bacon definitely ...

Rose: It's father! He's in a music video!
Onslow: Is he being quiet?
Rose: Well he isn't saying anything
Onslow: Good

One of the many things Hyacyinth boasts about Daddy doing

Qué pasada! Pure 80s...pure quality! 🔝

There's just no way you can't want to yell this at the top of your lungs like I did, like he did.

Oh I remember playing this cassette so much. Such a well put together song, and the singing! Loud and powerful!

I'm having so much fun here looking at all these old cinematic effects

Lijepa prezentacija gradjevine - kao na Euru

Max Bacon rules!!

Miko super

WAH WAH

TOQUE MAGICO...ESO NECESITAN TODOS LOS CATALANES PARA QUE SE LES QUITE LA TONTERIA INDEPENDENTISTA

Einfach nur genial. Nicht von dieser Welt. Warum gibt es nicht mehr von seinem schlag?

The guitar is magic.

Mike Oldfield 'Islands' is one of his best albums by far, and they're all great so that says something! If i were to take 3 albums to represent the sound and times of the 80's... this would be one of them.

I have the album called when the wind chimes

Mike Oldfield forever...

@explodingfirst Your description still, after nine years, claims incorrectly that this is the 1987 UK version with Jim Price singing lead. This is something you need to correct, as this is actually the 1988 US version with Max Bacon singing lead. Thankyou for your attention.

this is the max beacon vocals version

So 80's

This was the original version on the US release. I can't remember if this song came out before or after Max became lead singer of GTR. The 80's is where everyone got ticked off at all the prog artists making their music a little more radio friendly. I till take ANY of their 80's work over the 90's and beyond.

Is that Daddy from Keeping Up Appearances?

This is the Max Bacon version. I always liked Max's version better. When I went to replace my Islands CD they swapped it out with the Jim Price version. Never heard why. Max's vocals seems to fit Mike Oldfield's very well. It is too bad he didn't do a lot more with him.

He has a slightly lower voice than Jim Price. I like both versions. I can't decide which is best.

@J Yes, brash is a good word to describe his voice.

Definitely Max Bacon.

Mike jestes wielki dla mnie kocham Twą muzykę ...

Jim version!!

....dziękuje za przypomnienie ...całkiem zapomniałem o tym kawałku.....super....

Mike and Max ( Bacon ) .....fantastic guitar and fantastic voice

This is the US release with Max Bacon, around February 1988 - US releases tended to lag six months or so behind Europe - if they were even released here at all.  That same month, this video had heavy airplay on MTV (back when the "M" in "MTV" actually meant something) as its "Breakthru Video of the Month".

it's Max Bacon 

Very nice

Thanks for posting!

Jim Price certainly did a good job of sounding like Max Bacon on the UK/European version. This is the first time I've heard the Max Bacon version. I like it just as much.

That's not too far out, at least vocal-wise - Dennis DeYoung could definitely fare well with Max Bacon. In the guitar match-up, however, I'm afraid Tommy Shaw, great as he is, would find his ass totally "pwned"...

^_^

Jim Price? More like Max Bacon. :)
Bacon has a fantastic voice, I wish he'd done more recording with GTR and Oldfield. :/

This is Max Bacon Singing, not Jim Price. Jim Price sucks, IMO... Max Bacon can carry a tune. When I first heard this song when it came out, I thought it was a new GTR song!!

@jeremykyleftw That is correct - Price on the European record, Bacon on the US record and in the video (and our cover art for the Islands album was different from the European release as well). I like Bacon's voice much better, but I preferred the European album cover art. ^_^

Genialne gitarowe solo

@vvewa1 zgadzam się na 100%

I'm not a big Mike Oldfield fan but I really like this song a lot.

For some reason this song sounds like a Styx song, I can easily picture Styx doing this song

Who was the only one unliker?! Burn him... :-D

double check..I think Max Bacon is the vocalist

@garymixer That may be true. My cassette version from the 80's is not the same version that I got when I bought the CD some odd years later and it definitely sounds different.

Beeeeest video album

0:05 Alfred Hitcotsh? ... Franco?

How is it that a voice like this never found its way into a band of its own??? After GTR that is! And where is Max today???? Anyone!!!

If Max Bacon's voice sounds familiar,that's because he was the vocalist for the 2 guitar rock band band GTR with the double Steve's. Steve Howe & Steve Hackett.

The vocals on the UK / European version of Islands were performed by Jim Price, and can also be heard on The Wind Chimes video album.

However, this is the vocal of Max Bacon, from the US version of Islands, and the video released to MTV.

Sorry, no, the vocals are by Max Bacon

Love and Power is beyond anything else in this world Love this video done so creative

ahhh, the sound that only a Fender can produce !

@omarlejos Tanto, que no dejo de PENSAR, en ésta canción.

Błąd w opisie.

The guitar solo alone is worth the price of admission. Wow!

I hate this song

Max Beacon .. the milkman !

And great singer !
