  1. Sean Clifton says:

    Why is it that not every song that appears on the show has made it to the soundtrack? So far I have spent a considerable amount of time searching for on of the songs played. I would like to know the name of the artist and song if possible, to the song playing while Lilly Diamond is getting out of the pool at the hotel in the second episode.

    I wanna know the theme song.

  4. aol says:

    I think the title song is a remix of Mambo Gallego by Tito Puente

  5. Charlie says:

    I believe the theme song is a custom version of “Lujon” by Henry Mancini. It was also featured in the move “The Big Lebowski”.

    • Marcus says:

      Charlie! You nailed it. Such a gorgeous song. When I was little, I listened to it on my Dad’s AM transistor radio. We didn’t have much but we had the music.

      Ive been watching “magic CIty” and could not remember why that song haunted me. What a wonderful period in life.

      • G says:

        I agree that it sounds like a remix of Lujon. However, this “remix” in Magic City is not the same as the Lujon version in the Big Lebowski.

    • Seth says:

      It also sounds like a custom version of Ocean Beach by Black Mighty Orchestra from the album Rendevous Lounge.

    • Andres says:

      Yes!

  26. jocelyn says:

    • Jay says:

      That’s exactly what I am wanting to know! I looked up the lyrics and couldn’t find anything yet

  27. jay says:

    Dose anyone know the name of the song on the trailer “not that u could run away from all the grenades” ???

    • Jackie says:

      It’s called kill em all by shareefa. Apparently it’s yet to be released. I’ve been searching for it and haven’t found anything. It’s not fair that it’s not on the sountrack.

  28. Suzi says:

    It’s not available in iTunes yet but maybe will be when season 2 starts.
    Kill ’em all – Shareefa

  29. Suzi says:

    Clarification – that’s what the song is for the season 2 trailer

  30. SallieJo says:

    I am looking to purchase the soundtrack of the music from Golden Boy. Where can I find it? It is wonderful as is Neely’s other work. Thanks for helping me find this!

  31. hooverm41 says:

    Who sings the theme song during the “Magic City” season 2 trailer?

    ” imma kill em all, burn this mother down”?

    http://youtu.be/TOTFci_ztJs

    song starts at 30 seconds

    • Jacob says:

      It’s already been mentioned in these comments, it’s “Kill Em All” by Shareefa

    • Bruno says:

      Who Cares? It is annoying and has nothing to do with the period. Very disappointed.

      • Jacob says:

        Apparently hooverm41 does. Despite your disappointment, the music doesn’t have to stay true to the time period the show takes place nor does it say anywhere on the tin that trailers require authentic music. They’re trailers for crying out loud, their job is to entice viewers. Shockingly enough, a catchy tune helps speed that process along.

  32. Jonathan Haskins says:

    Whats the song by rihanna in the season 2 trailer

  33. Sandra says:

    Looking for “Night Calls” version at the end of Season 2, Episode 1

    • poncur says:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYeUhHVt5I8 i think this is the song you’re looking for 🙂

      • Harry says:

        The music buffs on this blog is unbelievable, Susan your incredible, I am hearing names that only someone who paid attention to their parents music would know. Thanks you all so much this was a delight, wow this is too good to be true.

  34. Susan says:

    I am so disappointed in the change of the theme music for season 2. Please, please, bring it back. As mentioned before, it captures the era perfectly. (I know. I was there.)

  35. owen says:

    • jeremie97213 says:

  36. jim1234 says:

  37. Anon Pie says:

  38. Bobo says:
