The story of Abigail Proctor and her alleged black magic practices has been a topic of fascination and speculation for centuries. Abigail Proctor was a woman born in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 17th century, during a time when witchcraft and the supernatural were subjects of great fear and paranoia. Reports of Abigail's involvement in black magic began to circulate shortly after several mysterious deaths occurred in the village. People claimed to have seen her engaged in strange rituals, casting spells, and communicating with the devil himself. Rumors quickly spread, and Abigail became a figure of immense terror and suspicion within the community. Many believe that Abigail's alleged black magic powers were the cause of the deaths and misfortunes that befell the village.
Many believe that Abigail's alleged black magic powers were the cause of the deaths and misfortunes that befell the village. In a time when people were desperate for answers and explanations to the inexplicable, blaming a person like Abigail seemed logical. The fear and hysteria surrounding witchcraft became so intense that the Salem Witch Trials were conducted, resulting in the execution of several individuals accused of practicing witchcraft, including Abigail Proctor.
Kohl's "Do You Believe in Magic"
Who sings "Do You Believe in Magic" on the new Kohl's ads? It sounds like Sheryl Crow.

Messages 1 Reaction score 0 Points 0There are two different commercials and the male voiced is the original Lovin' Spoonful version. In my search for a previously recorded version by a female artist, the only version I could find was by Carol Burnette's late daugher Carrie Hamilton, from the soundtrack to an 80's movie called Tokyo Pop. I don't think this commercial's version is that one though, because it seems to be a duet with a male Japanese singer.
My guess is the ad agency bought the rights to use the song not only in it's original form, but the rights to use the music and re-record it. My guess is the female voiced ad is done by studio musicians.

Messages 1 Reaction score 0 Points 0I am enamored by the short song covers these companies put in their commercials. Most recently with the latest Kohls TV spot, I continue to replay the movie on their website over and over. These companies (Kohls, Gap, etc) should release CDs of the music in their commercials, I would absolutely buy it. In fact, I would even make a trip to their store to buy such an item, as I have never walked into a Kohls store before.
Although in my quest to find this song "Do You Believe In Magic?", I did find a similar version used in a movie called Ice Princess preformed by "Aly & A.J." (google that and you'll find it). While it's not the same, it's pretty close.
I'm glad sites like this exist, so like minded people can obsess over an old song in a commercial.

However, there is no concrete evidence to substantiate the claims of Abigail's black magic practices. The accusations were based on hearsay, paranoia, and the general fear of the unknown. It is possible that Abigail was simply a misunderstood woman, targeted by a community gripped by fear. The story of Abigail Proctor serves as a cautionary tale of how fear and superstition can lead to dangerous consequences. It highlights the dangers of mob mentality and the devastating effects it can have on innocent individuals. In conclusion, the black magic of Abigail Proctor is a tale shrouded in mystery and speculation. While there is no evidence to support the claims of her involvement in dark arts, her story serves as a reminder of the dangers of fear and hysteria..
