Magic People was the debut album by the Canadian rock group The Paupers.

[2] Prior to working with Rick Shorter on the album, the group's single "If I Call You By Some Name" bw "Copper Penny" was produced by him.

The group stayed in New York City from late April to early May 1967 and over the course of two sessions at Columbia's 30th Street studio on April 27 and May 4 recorded an album's worth of songs with Shorter producing, which included "Magic People", "Think I Care" and the B-side "White Song".

[3][4] A re-recording of "If I Call You By Some Name" and the outtake "Love and Racing" from these sessions remain unissued.

[7] The album was released on CD in 2008 by Pacemaker Entertainment with additional tracks.
