A Little More Magic is the twelfth studio album by American R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass. It was released by Elektra Records on September 14, 1993. This was the third and last album Pendergrass recorded for Elektra, and was commercially the least successful of the three despite featuring songwriting and production credits from well-known names such as Barry White, Gerald Levert and Leon Huff as well as Reggie and Vincent Calloway.

Contents

The album peaked at number 92 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and number 13 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Whereas the two previous Pendergrass albums had each included an R&B chart-topping single to give sales impetus, the most successful single from A Little More Magic, "Believe in Love", stalled at number 14 on the R&B charts.
