Milsap Magic - Misplaced Pages

Milsap Magic is the eleventh studio album by American country music artist Ronnie Milsap, released in 1980 by RCA Records. The two A-side singles from the album, "Why Don't You Spend the Night" and "My Heart", reached No. 1 on the Billboard country chart, and two B-sides, "Silent Night (After the Fight)" and "Misery Loves Company", also received airplay as double-sided singles. The song "If You Don't Want Me To", which was later used as a B-side in 1987 and 1989, was then issued as the first single for Milsap's 2011 Country Again album, in its original production (not a re-recording) but as a longer version with an extra chorus inserted before the instrumental fade.
