The "Since You've Been Gone" released by the R&B group Blue Magic in 1983 is a soulful ballad about longing for a loved one who is absent, with lyrics expressing a desire to hear from them and see them again. It's a separate song from the well-known 1979 hard rock hit "Since You Been Gone," originally written by Russ Ballard and famously performed by Rainbow, which features different themes and a vastly different musical style #BlueMagic #PhillysFinest #music #classicrnb | Mark Hall
