The mid-70s were the ultimate laid-back pop music years and this song had to be the ultimate laid-back pop music song. “Moonlight Feels Right” by Starbuck is the kind of song that can drive you to the beach in less than 3 minutes “I’ll take you on a trip beside the ocean and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay”.
