On the American Top 40 radio program of August 14, 1976, Casey Kasem reported the group's difficulties in promoting their single. Over the winter they had hand-delivered the record to 400 radio stations, 95 percent of which had told them they would play it, but did not. One of those stations, WERC in Birmingham, Alabama,[4] told them that it sounded like a spring song to them, so they would play it but would wait until spring to do so. Discouraged, the group re-entered the recording studio. However, WERC kept their promise and became the first to do so, because "Moonlight Feels Right" became a hit immediately following its first airing. The song debuted on the U.S. charts the week ending April 17, 1976, with a chart run of over five months.[5]
Loved this tune since I saw them on American Bandstand in 76'. SXM Yacht Rock plays it constantly. Never get tired of it. Best Marimba solo ever. Great remix. Thank you. 70s were best time for music!
UK~1976~LONG HOT SUMMER~LEFT SCHOOL AND RADIO 1 NEVER STOPPED PLAYING THIS IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM ~ LOVE THIS RE-WORK TOO !!! ~GREAT JOB 4AM !!!~NUFF SAID
This is one of those master memory songs. I can almost go back into time when I hear the first few notes. I remember the way I felt and what I was doing!' She said she came to Baltimore from Ole Miss". Wow!
This is the most incredible remix, of the most incredible song, ever. So freaking cool. I listened to this driving down PCH through Malibu last summer.
This is by far the best version of this song, including the original, anywhere on Planet Earth. God this is awesome. At 4:05 when the music fades into space...Incredible.
I'm gonna be honest. I was annoyed at first because i thought the wrong song was playing but i kept listening and when "moonlight started to blend in and it was seamless and worth the initial aggravation
I heard this song when I was eight years old back in 1976. Over the years I gathered a scene: a full moonlit night in Baltimore very near the coastline. There are (or at least were) rails along this way, and that Pennsylvania Railroad used to ply these rails with their flagship “The Broadway Limited.” I thought it would be a perfect scene two lovers in a Pullman Porter along with fifteen other stainless steels being pulled by a trio of passenger Baldwin Sharks (beautiful locomotives, btw). That would be my fantasy-and the couple would be my girlfriend and I on that beautiful moonlit night.
Very nice! You have done it a wonderful justice! I just hated that it was only 4 minutes long....need this on a loop. I grew up with this song and since I rediscovered it a few years ago--man! It's wonderful! Thank you for making this song so long for me to continue to enjoy it...now could you put it on a loop for me for an hour? lol...pretty please?
Great work on this remix! It really updates the tune without losing it's charm. The bottom end added gives it a thickness that would sound great anywhere. I wish contemporary dance music could be this melodic. Has Bruce Blackman from Starbuck had a chance to hear this yet?
wow!! All I can say is life is wonderful sometimes..just when you're down...today on July 4..and for some reason my mind is remembering the summer of 1975 ... HERE I discover this...gift from the blue..which brought a big smile to my face and turned the whole day around... all I can say man is..God Bless You.. encourages me to continue plans in paths towards helping others
For many years (since the 90s), this song haunted me because I didn't know the name of it. I rarely heard it on the radio. I googled every which way. I searched youtube and nothing. Then about 2 summers ago (2014), my sister was in the backyard sun tanning herself when all of a sudden this plays on the oldies radio station CBS 101. I flew to the window and listened with fingers crossed, hoping the DJ would say the name of the song. He did. Something about this song sends my soul to a good place, like Al Jarreau's "Mornin" does and George Benson's "Greatest Love Of All," and some others. Your rendition is super good Jason. Much Love - Ambriel
This is my favorite song of all time. This remix is the best!!! I never tire of listening to this masterpiece! My play list must start with this. Many thanks for it. :))
Young people today will never know the frustration of going years, even decades of hearing a song you love and cant find the title and artist.A few years ago I was in Walmart with my daughter,a song came on she liked and she held her phone up and within seconds she had the song info and a few seconds later she had it downloaded.
Heard this working for NCR before they let me go Starbuck kept me going I saved it to my external drives I am a Technical genius 😆 just had to say that.
Dear Jason Patrick Chavez: Yea brother, I'm back already. I just had to let you know how much I appreciate your genius! - And with one of my all-time favorite songs! I'll check your channel for other Golden Goodies.... God bless you buddy!
I love this song, I listen to it every morning to keep my vibes up to start the day. The band is great wow. How can we order this, I would love the CD? Thank you
Greetings Friend! I just received a notice in my e-mail stating, "Jason Patrick Chavez loves your comment." - Wow! I posted my comment 6 years ago! I forgot all about it. Thanks for allowing me to relive this awesome experience. This is really beautiful!

Yes, you spelled "xylophone" correctly...this was the first 45 I ever bought (then I bought everything else by Starbuck)...you did fabulous work on this, Sir Jason!
This song rocks. This is the Rolls Royce of songs. I can listen to this song 100 times a day without getting bored. I love it!

This is the best song of the 1970s. I cant stop listening to this song. What a beautiful sound. Credit to Starbuck for producing such a great song.
STARBUCK rules... And this a great cover...
I love the Marimba, totally the best.
Excellent, EXCELLENT remix of an excellent song. Thanks!!

What a beat!!! Haunting
Fabulous song - part of the 70's soundtrack.
Beautiful remix man ! This would have been right at home in the 70's just as well as the present time.
THAT IS SUPER SLICK!! One of my all-time favorite singles turned FUNKY!! WHAT A REMIX!!
i always liked those xylophones......tripping me out.
It's actually a Marimba. Similar concepts but different materials and tones.
+Inquisitor T. Torquemada Good to know. happy 4th of July 2016

Did Starbuck and Starbucks fix fix the name issues?
Or was it not counted?
GOOD MEDICINE
You did a great job on the remixing...and didn't disrepect the old school in the process. Wish I can download this on my MP3.
I'll roll down the road with this.
The absolutely BEST remix EVER!!! This takes me to where I want to be every time I listen to it! Thanks so much for the "musical Valium!"
Damn, this is one slick remix of this song. You really did it up nice Dj4am!
