ORIGINAL ANSWER:not a mowtown songit was a number 8 song by America in 1982===========================================================ADDITION:Since I was looking for a song of the same name - And the above answer wasn't the solution - I kept on looking and eventually found it!I think you're looking for a song called "You can do magic" by 'Limmie & The Family Cookin'.That is, if we both had the same song in mind! :P
The #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 on 7 Feb 1982 was Centerfold by The J. Geils Band.
Adieu - song - was created in 1982.
The number one song from January 16th 1994 was I will do anything for love (but i wont do that) by Meatloaf.
Regardless of whether or not the single is number one, the song writer usually earns 50% of the royalties.
