Wow, have never heard a Starbuck song beyond Moonlight, Feels Right, their hit, but this song that I stumbled on is, what can I say, Wacked:

I don't know yet if I like this song or not. It is one strange ass song, especially for a commercial pop group of the 70s. Very Zappa like, but still pop. Oddly interesting.

Love this song! I have a 2-CD set that contains the first two Starbuck albums.I love their synth-based,mid-70s rock/pop sound!!

another song that I really like by them: "A Fool In Line" from the second album:

it's a shame that they are only remembered for their 1976 hit "Moonlight Feels Right".Their entire first album is a masterpiece! The second album is also great.

they even get a little funky,on the track "Im Crazy",from the first album:

I guess I should get back on topic,huh? This is a cool song,very strange,like you said.

It got me to listen to all of their fucking songs..lol Obviously beyond the cheesy element of this group they do do very good songs. The synth player is a gem.

Benny Bought The Big One is another good one:

I will place a bet that Prince heard these records.

that's what made their sound so distinctive.Very few 70s bands sounded like this.

Likin Sunset Eyes:

Big fan of the band here. Bruce Blackmon has a real gift for great hooky pop, IMO.

Also worth checking out is this GEM from the last Starbuck album in '78 ("Searchin For A Thrill"). Almost as good as "Moonlight", I always thought.

After Starbuck split, Bruce recorded another album under the psudonym ""Korona" in 1980. It's way OOP & very hard to find, but good times if ya can find it.

I have that third album 'Searching For A Thrill' on vinyl I have to check out Bruce's solo project.

That song sounds a bit like Slow Love.

It really does I'd like to hear the rest of that album.

"Everybody Be Dancin" was the first single from their second album.This tune is just as fun and infectious as their debut hit "Moonlight Feels Right".It should have been a Top 10 smash in 1977.
