Starbuck - Moonlight Feels Right

Starbuck — Moonlight Feels Right: The Collection 1975-2023

Three 180-gram marbled emerald green vinyl LPs

Starbuck was a rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1974 by keyboardist/vocalist/record producer Bruce Blackman and marimba player Bo Wagner. Both Blackman and Wagner, along with guitarist Johnny Walker, had previous success with Mississippi-based "sunshine pop" group Eternity's Children, scoring a Billboard Hot 100 hit with "Mrs. Bluebird" in the summer of 1968. Starbuck's debut single, "Moonlight Feels Right," reached the No. 3 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts in 1976.

Although the band never re-created the success of their debut, several of their songs did chart in the Billboard Top 100, and their 1977 release "Everybody Be Dancin'" reached No. 38. The band was briefly known as Korona in the early 1980s, getting one Hot 100 hit in 1980, "Let Me Be," which reached No. 43 in April. n July 2013, a number of former Starbuck members (founders Blackman and Wagner, guitarist Tommy Strain, keyboardists Sloan Hayes and David Shaver, bassist Jimmy Cobb, and drummer Kenny Crysler) performed at Chastain Park in Atlanta.

The group also reunited once more for their final performance on August 20, 2016, with the same lineup as their previous reunion concert in 2013. In 2022, 12 new songs were released by Bruce Blackman on the album Starbuck 2022. Blackman was inducted into the Mississippi Writer's Garden on April 5, 2014. Blackman continues to hit the Yacht Rock charts with new songs recorded as Starbuck. This collection of hits (new and old) is pressed on three marbled emerald green 180 gram vinyl LPs.
