1,000% AGREED . BORN IN 66 AND A KID DURING THE SUPER 70'S AND A TEEN DURING THE AWESOME 80'S. YUP IT WAS ALL GOOD. GROWING UP WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE. ROCK ON JM !!!.
@@cynthiamclellan6745 If I remember correctly, it was minimum cost! The park was open after hours, 9pm-3am. Just seniors and chaperones. Long lines at all the cool rides! We went and did all the family rides! lol. I saw Starbuck! Now, I will say I did not have their album! I'm a classic rocker! But, everyone knew that song.
That's cool! I was at some corporate Christmas party back in the late 90s at the Biltmore in LA. And I was surprised that the band playing were the Commodores! (Without Lionel Richie)
Walking on the sand at sundown on South Beach - this song was playing at the bar my friend & I just left - the sunset set was gorgeous. Every time I hear this song, I think of that night.🌴😎🏖🌃
My noolywed summer. I was too young to fully appreciate the singular and exquisite nature of it then. I have a feeling that my young wife did. Cancer claimed her life over 21 years ago. I'm not trying to be a downer here. I have good memories of 1976 and of our years together. Now if my wife were still here _she'd_ have some good memories. She was a good historian with a keen memory. Hearing "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck brings a lot of good memories of '76, that Bicentennial Summer, into focus.
This reminds me of high school freshman year in 77. Life without cell phones, computers, technology. So we played ball and listened to great music like this.
@@Duckfan707 it's similar but a marimba solo...someone pointed out. Actually, Toto's hit song "Africa" features a short marimba solo, although not as prominent. Nevertheless, a classic marimba solo in "Moonlight!"
The song was good to go in December of '75, but an astute dj knew you don't drop a spring/summer love song in winter. True to his word, he played Moon light feels right, and it charted in April of '76. Thank you, Bruce, and all the band members, ❤️. A hit for Starbuck, a very special marriage, and a song 🎵 to carry in our 💕 for all our days.
The variety of music available in the 70s was unbelievable. My wife and I listen to soft rock 70s on RUclips almost every night. The music brings back great childhood memories of being 70s kids. Funny thing is I am a 70s/80s hard rock and metal guy...Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, etc. But soft rock is still the music of my childhood.
Many good memories with awesome great music. I'm glad I was a teenager then. I'm 60 now and that was my favorite decade of my Life. I'd do it all over again 😎☮️♥️✌️
I'm right there with you, same musical trajectory. I just dig all types of music but the stuff from the 70s & 80s carries so much more emotional weight with me...
Had my daughter at 6 Am Sunday morning 🌄 and this song played I'll never forget it, My doctor said that by Monday morning she'd be here . The moon sent her on her way, very symbolic and personal to me
Summer of 76 was absolutely my best! Took a motorcycle trip from Virginia to the Ozarks and back through Indiana and Kentucky. This song was part of it!!!!!!!
wow.i remember being 14 years old, listining to this song on the am radio of the car that was eventually mine.now im 60 wondering where the time went.life is so short.it passes by before you know it.
Bo Wagner rocked on the Marimba (not xylophone) and drove the women crazy with his tap-dancing routine... When Bo was ten years old he was a TV guest on the Original Mickey Mouse Club as a featured drummer and tap dancer...He also, in the early 1970's, worked as a studio musician in Los Angeles, appeared on The Lawrence Welk Show for three years and toured with The 5th Dimension, Roger Williams and Liberace. I worked for Starbuck's Lighting dude, Larry, and saw them live several times before going to Navy Boot Camp... Some memorable gigs were at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton and the Toys For Tots concert at the Omni in Atlanta... The guys were all great people...
I can remember the women yelling g for him on I think dick Clark American bandstand. The marimba player. Saw the tapdance on midnight special. I thought they had a trumpet that night on the intro too. Might be wrong. They toured with England dan and John Ford Coley and I missed them when they were at kearney Nebraska and that still bugs me today.
There's talent on the stage for sure - tight, great keyboards, marimba is killer and I remember dropping the top at Chesapeake Bay in an Olds Cutlass when this one came out (showing my age). But, there's some good stuff out today, too. It's fun to live the memories, but there's more to come.
+John Fisher class of 84 John and you got that right I had a Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham with the rich velour nice interior . Wish those days were back , not sure about these days everything's different but hopefully it will be back good again.
I can remember being two months shy of 11 years old sitting on the sand at Newport Beach alone midday and gazing at the sunlight sparkles on the water listening to this song on a Gliligan type transistor AM radio. It was like divine intervention to hear those words "nothing like a scattered dose of ocean" as I was admiring it. I can't believe it was almost 50 years ago. That 1976 bicentennial year was something to remember. Everything is red white and blue. RIP to all the lost family that were there for those magical 2 weeks. Best summer of my life. Music is a timeline to my years.
I was 17 riding around in my 68 Ford XL Galaxy when I first heard this song. Didn't even have a driver's license yet. Still love it, it's like a time machine. Wish I could go back, I'd never come back!
Boy does this song take me back to my Senior Year of High School 1976, Getting ready to graduate the Bicentennial Year 1976. SUCH FOND MEMORIES.. Some heart break as well.
I was 13 yrs old during the summer of 1976 and for some reason these mellow, pop songs of the summer evoke a certain feeling, not memories, just feelings. Not sure why but it’s nice.
@@jamesginn5191 Hello follow graduate of Class of 76...seems do far away but then again, great memories of yesterday...I was listening to 70's @70 and they just played that song 🎵
Bruce Blackburn was a realistic, always reminded me of Jimmy Buffet in some way! Loved them both and the 70s, best genre of music ever. I am 63, nothing compares to this at all!
I'll never forget how this song impacted me as a kid listening to it as we were driving to the lake on summer weekends ! It's a feeling that resurfaces everytime I hear it, even today !
I listen to this song and it sets me adrift on a sea of blissful memories. I see my grandparents white Mercury with the ignition on the dash, my parents disco dancing, drinking Schlitz and smoking weed with the neighbors, graffiti trains and bell bottoms dragging over gritty NY sidewalks, and a world full of big sunglasses and smiles. What a beautiful summer to be 4. What a beautiful song.
Ha ha same 🤙😁😃 Incredible year, Bicentennial 🇺🇲 of course with so many classic, moments and creations 😁🎉🍺🤙and this masterpiece was jamming although that incredible summer..."Framton Comes Alive" , Hotel California 🎸,Andrea True Connection "More,More, More..🕺💃 The debut of Rocky 🥊One of the greatest Olympic Games 🏅🎖️🏆 In my opinion..and on and on...One of the greatest years ever...❤🎉🏅🎖️🍺💃🕺🎸🥊🍹🤙😁😃🤙
I was a junior in high school. This was a major "makeout" song back then. When I aged, I realized the musicality that was in it. Great memories. Thanks.
Just turned 50, feel like sparking up a Newport with a Zippo, steer my vintage Mustang from New England down to the Chesapeake; and pick me up one of them Southern Belles... (I hear they HeII at night) God Love 'Em!
I can't believe it's 40 years went by I was only a kid age 12 I'm going to be 52 dam, those years gone fast enjoy your youth man really I mean it enjoy yourself now remember the years go fast I know take my word for it to everyone god bless you all Amen, thanks .
Edwin I'm 58 ..I went to sleep last night when I was a teen and this was playing on the radio and I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and thought...OMG where did my life just go overnight ?
I was 12, fully feral, with crushes all the time. I lived outdoors on my bike, no cares about anything that troubles me today. Truly, the best of times
This may be one of the greatest one-hit wonders of all time. It beautifully captures the hedonism of the 70s and features a unique marimba solo that I understand Bo Wagner recorded in one take. Wish I’d been old enough to understand what it was about in 1976, but I was still a kid.
This song got me through some very hard times as a young adult. So grateful for this song. It is still one of my favorites forever. Get teary eyed still.
This was one of the greatest tunes of the 70’s and yet didn’t hit that top spot. Every 15-30 minutes this song was being played on multiple stations. Bruce Blackman is incredible as is Bo. You all should check out Bruce’s tune “Jim’s Cafe”. It’s awesome!
Me too, first boyfriend, first kiss, first experience making out. Great innocent memories, so young yet thought I understood life. very few songs with an xylophone in them
I saw them live at Disneyland in 1978 during our High School "Senior Grad Night" where several LA area school let kids that had no disciplinary record go for $20 bucks, free bus rides to and fro, and 2 live bands- Starbuck and Rose Royce ("Car Wash"). Best $20 bucks I ever spent in 1978! And to my knowledge, since everybody was required to wear suit and tie and girls dress respectively, thus, no violence or bad shit went down (other than a couple kids getting caught with some Mother Herb, but that didn't affect anything.
I grew up in Arizona in the 70's. Loved this song, but never got to see rock performers on TV. The local stations just wouldnt pay the syndication fees. Luckily I moved the F out of that regressive dust bowl in '78.
The 70s was the Best Decade in every category
I'm so happy I grew up in the 70 & 80s, nothing compares to real music nowadays!
Me too, we had great music to listen to then.Good job we can still hear it today.
1,000% AGREED . BORN IN 66 AND A KID DURING THE SUPER 70'S AND A TEEN DURING THE AWESOME 80'S. YUP IT WAS ALL GOOD. GROWING UP WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE. ROCK ON JM !!!.
I agree! 😊
Excellent J.
That’s so true
Have never seen a drummer that happy. The band gives off a 'we have awesome weed' vibe.
i had my Grad Night at Disneyland in 1977 and StarBuck was playing live in Tomorrowland and playing this song-Great Times!!!
I bet that was an awesome experience! This song is Gold 💿
I was there!
Wow - Your class had the cash box🤑

That marimba solo is one of the greatest solos in all of pop music.
Ten years old in 76 listening to this on the beach in Southern California with my girlfriend of the same age.! Wonderful times.
Almost 45 years later and this song is as fresh as the summer of '76.....

Music that will never made again. It’s soothing beautiful and relaxing.
You got that right!
never...
Smooth lead vocals...and the BEST xylophone solo EVER!!! 😊
Marimba
@@Coowallsky• l haven't heard this song since l was 16 in 1976!
The only pop song with a xylophone solo.
@@Coowallsky, yes. But they are very similar. A marimba is a larger version of a xylophone with softer tones, and the xylophone has hard tones.
@@Duckfan707 it's similar but a marimba solo...someone pointed out. Actually, Toto's hit song "Africa" features a short marimba solo, although not as prominent. Nevertheless, a classic marimba solo in "Moonlight!"
Worked for them as assistant to lighting dude, back before I went to Navy Boot Camp in September of '77...
Great bunch of guys.
Must been exciting. Wish they would make music like this again.
God bless you and I salute you for your service!
The song was good to go in December of '75, but an astute dj knew you don't drop a spring/summer love song in winter. True to his word, he played Moon light feels right, and it charted in
April of '76. Thank you, Bruce, and all the band members, ❤️. A hit for Starbuck, a very special marriage, and a song 🎵 to carry in our 💕 for all our days.
Awesome tune. The drummer is having wayyyy too much fun!! hehehe
wayyyy too much hair, too ;p
Screw that! Check out that BOSS xylophone player!😀
The variety of music available in the 70s was unbelievable. My wife and I listen to soft rock 70s on RUclips almost every night. The music brings back great childhood memories of being 70s kids. Funny thing is I am a 70s/80s hard rock and metal guy...Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, etc. But soft rock is still the music of my childhood.
I'm sure that Black Sabbath Maiden priests Etc I'm sure they're fans of this kind of music they usually are if it's good it's good
Same here.
I'm the same way. Zep, Van Halen, ZZ Top...but dig those 70's soft classics because of where they take me in my head
Many good memories with awesome great music. I'm glad I was a teenager then. I'm 60 now and that was my favorite decade of my Life. I'd do it all over again 😎☮️♥️✌️
I'm right there with you, same musical trajectory.

I think the singer chuckles after every verse 'cause he knows he just killed it.
david gilbertson lol! you are so right! awesome comment 😊😊
yea, or just loves it....
Dave, that was a groovy comment. YOU really killed it lol.
Yes I refer to it as a shuckle 😁
and he scored
HOLY COW!!! I haven't heard this song probably since the 70's. 🤯 Thank you for posting this classic!!!
Best. Marimba. Solo. Ever. I am sooooooooo glad that I grew up in this era of music!!!
Gary Burton? Roy Ayers? Ruth Underwood? It was a great addition to the song.
And when he did his tap dancing routine, he had all the ladies swooning..!
True. He's like the Eddie Van Halen of Marimba playing. Great solo
Starbuck said the marimba solo was unrehearsed, spontaneous. Only took one take. Perfect.
And Spider from School of Rock must be his son !
what a great time in the 70s and 80s for music like this.How i miss those days when everything was so much slower and easier to live then
Dude straight torched that marimba
THIS IS MUSIC.
REAL MUSIC.
FOREVER.
That's the late Bo Wagner on the marimba and he did that on the record in one take. There was a lot of unique stuff in this song.
Summer of 76 was absolutely my best! Took a motorcycle trip from Virginia to the Ozarks and back through Indiana and Kentucky. This song was part of it!!!!!!!
I remember this song being on the radio when I was practice driving with my dad. I miss my dad and the 70s.
I wish I would have appreciated 1976….The 70s were some of the best years of my life. No responsibilities, just being a teenager.

This is the coolest Man that ever sang A song just look at Him
Yah he's a big old poopy pants
Just saw and interview him from recent and he has the same positive vibes and is very stylish.
Burt Reynolds moonlighting 😂
There's more talent on that stage than all the artists on the charts right now. No joke.
There's talent on the stage for sure - tight, great keyboards, marimba is killer and I remember dropping the top at Chesapeake Bay in an Olds Cutlass when this one came out (showing my age). But, there's some good stuff out today, too. It's fun to live the memories, but there's more to come.

as i remember it, 76 was a good year!
I was working at Mione's pizza in Lido Village, Newport Beach when this song was released, it always reminds me of good ole Newport days.
Best xylopphone solo ever. Love love love this song.
Wasn't sure if it was a xylophone or a vibraphone...either way, the dude's outfit made me laugh!
@@Snarkapotamus it’s a marimba.
“You’re going to want more xylophone...”
@@pablocruise9514 Ha! Should be on SNL
@@Snarkapotamus Went back for a 2nd look and, oh man.
I absolutely love the rhythm. This song never gets old. Always fresh.
Always fresh, indeed!!!!!
As a 70's kid this song is a perfect representation of those times. They played this on AM radio almost non stop. Great times ~
Very 1st song I can remember hearing and liking on the radio as a kid. I was 5 yrs old and it was 1976.
I was 17 riding around in my 68 Ford XL Galaxy when I first heard this song. Didn't even have a driver's license yet. Still love it, it's like a time machine. Wish I could go back, I'd never come back!

@@WilliamClark-uj1uo Yep same here. Born in April 1971 and this is definitely one of the first songs I ever remember playing on the radio.
same here!!

I love this song yesterday and now in 2024,the 70s music is the best 👍👏👏👏

Bruce is still writing and singing and doing well. May Darryl and Beau be resting peace.
This song was on the radio when I was practice driving with my dad. The station was CKLW. I miss my dad and the 70s

Why would they? They don't have to People are stupid enough to like the cheapness of today....
I think they should

Great song about falling in love, and filled with happiness and love.
Summer of 76. This song and Afternoon Delight were at the top of the charts.

WOW! A xylophone solo. Absolutely Fantastic!!!
Marimba
Gotta love the 70'S music, especially is song, gotta give ol mate credit playing the xylophone 👍👍
The marimba solo to beat! I love this tune, it takes me back to my first car, my high-school sweetheart, and nights cruising during the summer! ❤
I was stocking shelves at Safeway grocery store at night when I heard this.
This was one of the greatest tunes of the 70’s and yet didn’t hit that top spot. Every 15-30 minutes this song was being played on multiple stations. Bruce Blackman is incredible as is Bo. You all should check out Bruce’s tune “Jim’s Cafe”. It’s awesome!
Ahhh, the 70’s…what a time to be alive!!
I love this.. always brings back the Summer of 76.. :p
Best summer ever.
Montreal Olympics
Great summer. Met my wife july 78. Saw Starbuck at the Carowinds Paladium in August of that same year.
Me too, first boyfriend, first kiss, first experience making out. Great innocent memories, so young yet thought I understood life. very few songs with an xylophone in them
I remember buying the 45 record of this song and playing it, CONSTANTLY!
Listening to this reminds me of riding around with my parents in their VW Bug and singing along to all the fantastic music on the radio ❤
Never get tired of this song! Wish it had 10 more verses…!
That Xylophone Solo is nothing short of masterful!
Great song straight from the summer of 76.' It was a great one. Twelve years old and not a care nor worry in the world. Bring it back...NOW!

How can you not love a rock song with a xylophone solo?
Man! What a voice and can jam on those instruments especially bare chest ... he can really rock on those keys! Great song! Great days gone by :'(
That xylophone solo was killer!
It’s a marimba, but yes….it is.
I just love this song just so relaxing. I could listen to it over and over. Love the 70s music
Just a great song from 1976....It doesn't get any better....
I was 7 years old when this came out. I’m so glad I got to grow up with the greatest music ever
was in highschool.love this song..and im a black women.and the baltiimore and chesapeak bay.thats where i live😊
I love the percussion in this song
Great song and the marimba solo really adds a fine touch.
Esta canción es una belleza!! Estamos en 2023 y la sigo escuchando. Me encanta.
One of my favorite songs
I love this song and Bruce's voice! I could listen to his voice forever!
The greatest xylophone solo ever.
This Song is getting STRONGER the more it gets Heard!!! share this
And the lead singer's story about the songs beginnings is truly beautiful.
Summer of '76! I was on my "Campus Green" Schwinn stingray with a green "Radio Shack"AM radio on the handle bar.
The marimba solo in this song is easily one of the best instrument solos in all of music. That dude was badass.
The smiles on these guys faces says it all.
I wish radio stations would still play music like this today instead of the crap that's out there now
Best of the one hit wonders 👌🏾
Cool song ...very cool...The drummer is havin a darn good time!
Brings back memories. ☺️
