"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. Gallery covered it in 1972 as the second of three singles off their Nice to Be with You album 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.
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. It later became his signature song and an iconic anthem of the early '70s.
