70s pop songs of the day: "Moonlight Feels Right" and "I Got To Know" by Starbuck (1976)

and no,I'm not talking about the coffee shops lol In the mid-70s,there was a rock/pop group known as Starbuck who gave us these cool,melodic singles in the summer of 1976:

"Moonlight Feels Right"


"I Got To Know"

I recently went on Ebay and bought sealed copies of the first two Starbuck albums:

'Moonlight Feels Right' (1976)
'Rock N' Roll Rocket' (1977)


lol man,I really like their sound....very easy-going,melodic pop.

No, that's Van Morrison's "Moondance".

Here are the lyrics to "Moonlight Feels Right":

The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky french connection
you winked and gave me your o.k.
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
the moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right.
We'll lay back and observe the constellations
and watch the moon smiling bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
'cause southern belles are hell at night
you say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss
a class of '74 gold ring
the eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss
to make the tide rise again
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right.
We'll see the sun come up on Sunday morning
and watch it fade the moon away
I guess you know I'm giving you a warning
'cause me and moon are itching to play
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
the moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right
