"I Believe in Music" is a 1970 song written and recorded by Mac Davis and later included on his second album I Believe in Music.[1] Gallery covered it in 1972 as the second of three singles off their Nice to Be with You album[2] and the follow-up release to their title track.

Gallery's version reached #22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on the US Cash Box Top 100. It hit #5 in Canada.[3]

Mac Davis's original had been released as a single nearly two years earlier and made a minor dent in the pop charts (US #117). His effort achieved #25 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[4] It later became his signature song and an iconic anthem of the early '70s.[5]

Inspiration

Davis in 2010. Davis said the line about lifting voices to the sky "epitomized the whole song. That's what music is about".[6]

In a 2017 interview, Davis said the song was inspired while he was in England at the home of Lulu and Maurice Gibb, who were married at that time:[5] Шаблон:Quotation

Davis said he kept and framed the piece of paper from the hotel room where he completed the song. According to him, the line "Lift your voices to the sky, God loves you when you sing" was inspired by a piece of folk art he had seen that said, "God respects you when you work, but He loves you when you sing".[6]
