Someone's knocking at the door. It could be a sophisticated lady, are you going to let her in? Or it could be that the boys are back in town and they are ready to give up the funk and tear the roof off the sucker, are you going to let ‘em in?

A Gringo Like Me - Ennio Morricone (1963) From the film Duello nel Texas, also known as Gunfight at Red Sands and Gringo. Featuring the voice of Peter Tevis. Tevis was credited with singing the theme song of the animated television series Underdog in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Tevis ran a record label called Pet Records, based in Burbank, California. The label released records designed to train pet birds to talk as well as other pet training records.  Brainstorm - Lovin' Is Really My Game (1977) Canned Heat (feat. Little Richard) - Rockin' With The King (1972)  Diesel - Sausalito Summernight (Live) A guilty pleasure for me, much in the vein of "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck. The original song came out in 1979. This is a slick live version, replete with guests, but I still like it.  Quincy Jones - Do It-To It! (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the movie "$". What was LR doing in the '70s? Trying to carve out a living with new, flaccid original material or guesting on other people's records. Fighting the strong tide of easy money that contemporaries like Jerry Lee, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, etc. were grabbing. GARDEN PARTY INDEED!!! AMIRITE?!? Ennio Morricone - An Eye for an Eye (1965) From the film "For a Few Dollars More", Part 2 of the "Dollars Trilogy". In 2012, that guy on the cover would talk to a chair in front of millions.  Ennio Morricone - Angel Face (1965) Taken from the 1965 movie 'Una Pistola Per Ringo' directed by Duccio Tessari. This and the previous were sung by Maurizio Graf.  Ennio Morricone - Un Ami (1973) From the film "Revolver", starring Oliver Reed, who was Ann-Margret's husband in 1975's "The Who's Tommy".  Ennio Morricone - Nana (1982) I like this song.    Isaac Hayes - Good Love 6-9969 (1971) Before the hyper-meta revival of his career as "Chef" on South Park, Isaac Hayes, boys and girls, was sort of a Barry White/Ronald Isley (reinvented) prototype, releasing long, slow grooves of a sexual nature, covering songs like 'Walk On By" by Bacharach/David, but at about 4 times longer and slower than the original to make his fucking point. His biggest hit was "Shaft", for which he won an Oscar, he co-wrote "Soul Man" for Sam and Dave, as well as "Hold On, I'm Coming". He paid his dues. While inferior to Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield, his place in popular culture was well-assured even before he sang "Chocolate Salty Balls". Having said that, after listening to some of his discography from the later '70s, I'm pretty sure he could have recorded THAT as a b-side and no one would have batted an eye.  Helen Reddy - Ladychain (1975)  Here is where it gets serendipitously strange.  I watched "Lolita". It was ok. But I wanted to see some of James Mason's other later work. Which led me to "The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go" from 1970. it was directed by Burgess Meredith, of "Rocky" fame. He was "The Penguin" in the campier '60s TV version of Batman. "James Mason is a Chinese-Mexican crime lord whose weapon of choice is a spear gun. Burgess Meredith is his Chinese acupuncturist/bodyguard. Jeff Bridges is a novelist of Joycean vision turning rough-trade tricks on the side." But I wanted to know who wrote these crazy songs. One of which I ripped from the opening scene on YouTube and present here in shabby audio, since, obviously, there's no soundtrack.  A Marcia Waldorf wrote the lyrics. Did she sing them, too? She doesn't recall, as I immediately found her email address and wrote to her, and she replied!! She told me all sorts of tales that I will not share here, but she DID write a song that appeared on this Helen Reddy LP, and it was written about Duane Allman. And it's VERY obscure. But no more obscure than her own solo albums (there were 2) of which I play a few later on, for you.  Isaac Hayes Movement - Disco Connection (1975) Isaac Hayes - Feel Like Makin' Love (1975)  Isaac Hayes - Walk On By (1971) Isaac Hayes - Zeke the Freak (1978)  Little Richard - Thomasine (1972) Lucifer's Friend - Toxic Shadows (1970) I just can't get enough of these Les Humphries Singer projects! This was John Lawton, who sang LHS hits like "Mama Loo" and "Sing Sang Song", and then he joined Uriah Heep and he still rocks out today with what I can only call a hair plug fiasco.  Marcia Waldorf - Memoranda (1975) This is one of those times where everyone listening to this show, I can PROMISE you, has never heard a setlist that even resembles this! Quincy Jones - Money Is (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the soundtrack to the movie "$".  Quincy Jones - Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) Quincy Jones is the father of Rashida Jones. When you look at the video for the song "We Are The World" with Lionel Richie and Mike Jackson, that older man waving a baton around, exhorting all those singers to sing their guts out for all those African warlords is Quincy Jones!  When you hear that funky flute music that Austin Powers is dancing around to, that, also, is Quincy Jones!  Quincy Jones - Summer In The City (1973) Quincy Jones - The Dude (1981)  Sue Lyon - Lolita Ya Ya (1962) This was an example of a studio trying everything to manufacture a star, including deflowering her via a powerful movie producer. She acted in a few other things, and she wasn't bad. For my purposes, I only care about her recorded history, which consisted of one single. I suggest doing research on Sue Lyon. She was a tragic figure that didn't die soon enough, for lack of a better term.    Sue Lyon - Turn Off the Moon (1962)  Marcia Waldorf (?) - The Yin and the Yang (1970) - Intro with Burgess Meredith and James Mason. Waldorf Travers - Night Blindness (1979) @DarrellNutt can you make my drums sound like this? According to Marcia, this album was not released in the US.  Rupert Holmes - Why Am I Walking Without You (1974) This is the same guy that would take over the sophisticated white record buyer's soul with "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" not 5 years later.  But before that, he struggled with this project and that, and...this, from the movie "Wet Rainbow", a pornographic film starring Georgina Spelvin and Harry Reems (both from "The Devil In Miss Jones", Georgina was a hooker in the first "Police Academy" movie) which by all accounts was actually a good movie. When you're a young songwriter, every opportunity is the right one. See? I just exposed you to a porno. Get right with your god, sicko. I will soon do a whole show on Rupert and Christopher Cross. But his stuff was pretty tightly controlled, so maybe not him.  Ennio Morricone - The Ballad Of Hank McCain (1969)  Mego - Fonzie Commercial Spot (1976)

Singer Nick Niespodziani joined On Second Thought to add a couple of songs to the Georgia Playlist , our tribute to songs written and performed by Georgians. Niespodziani chose “Moonlight Feels Right” by Starbuck and Washed Out's “Eyes Be Closed.”

We got to interview Singer/songwriter Bruce Blackman, who was born in Greenville, Mississippi. He attended Mississippi State University. In the 1960s he formed the band, Eternity’s Children, which had a top 100 hit with Mrs. Bluebird in 1968 and appeared on American Bandstand. He left the group and moved to Atlanta in 1969. In 1974, he joined a group called “Extravanganza” with Bo Wagner, vocalist Elgin Wells, keyboardist Sloan Hayes, drummer David Snavely and bassist Jimmy Cobb. In 1975, Private Stock Records, a New York City company, signed his group Starbuck to a single deal for Moonlight Feels Right, (written by multi-talented vocalist / keyboardist / producer Bruce Blackman). It rose to the top of the national and international charts, selling over 3 million copies. Everybody Be Dancin’ was also a top chart song. Blackman serves as CEO of his own music publishing and production companies and is producing an album project with his daughter Sarah and several other artists, now Atlanta-based. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nowseehearBAM/support

Bruce Blackman -Singer/Songwriter Author, Producer, Keyboards:Moonlight Feels Right 2014 is the first new music from Bruce Blackman in three decades. The album came about when Bruce went to his high school reunion in Greenville, MS. He wrote a song, "Jim's Cafe", for his reunion and made 70 copies of it for his classmates. When he got home two days later, he had over 500 requests for the song on Facebook. The requests soon turned into thousands. "I was completely surprised by this," says Bruce. "That's when I decided to release a new album." "Moonlight Feels Right 2014" features 12 new songs and 4 never-released vintage songs, including a new version of Moonlight Feels Right. "I came across my original demo of MFR that I recorded with a Bossa Nova beat from a cheap drum machine," Bruce Said. "I thought it would be interesting to go back to the root of the song and record it that way. It feels comfortable to me as a Bossa Nova." Stylistically speaking, Bruce is well known for his jazz-pop, keyboard infused style of writing and playing as exemplified by his signature song, "Moonlight Feels Right". He is considered one of the pioneers of synth-based recording. Bruce cut his musical teeth in the New Orleans based 60s soft pop group Eternity's Children. The group scored a minor hit with his song, "Mrs. Bluebird", and the group appeared on American Bandstand. Later he teamed up with marimba/vibes player, Bo Wagner, and formed the group Starbuck. His song "Moonlight Feels Right" soared to top 3 in the Billboard chart and became an international hit. Today, MFR is recognized as one of the top classics from the 70s.Pre Interview lead in Track:Doing Nothing by Bruce BlackmanComplete Radio Promo Playlist:1. Partir by Cathy Varna2.

Singer/songwriter and Greenville, Mississippi native Bruce Blackman talks about his life and music including his hit "Moonlight Feels Right" with the group Starbuck in the 70s.

It seemed fitting to kick off a new series on The Hustle with the man that kicked off the podcast back in May of 2015. Starbuck mastermind Bruce Blackman was our very first guest and still one of the best. His knack for telling stories infused with southern charm is unparalleled. It's what made Starbuck's music so good and what makes his new memoir The Road to Moonlight Feels Right so entertaining.  Bruce has a Faulkner-esque knack for bringing color to his childhood in Mississippi and the many characters that decorate that time. You also get to understand his approach to show business and how he wasn't willing to sell his soul to become a typical rock star. It's a blast of a book and worth a read whether you're a fan of his music or not. But, c'mon, who doesn't love "Moonlight Feels Right"!   Bruce Blackman - The Road to Moonlight Feels Right

Revisiting the idea of the "Moonlight Feels Right" installment of the podcast, Terry tries to reflect on the Santana favorite from 1976, "Europa".  However, when the song is from an artist whose works now span six decades, the main topic of discussion is easily stepped around during the episode.  From high school poetry to qualifiers as well as guitar lessons of different kinds covering two generations, this became more of an episode than what was originally intended. As music has served as a way to make sense of a world that is becoming increasingly less so, the events in Orlando at Pulse and Plaza Live did affect indirectly the recording of the episode.  As awkward as the opening may seem, everyone at Flickering Waves is hoping for the best for the survivors, the friends and family of the victims and the city of Orlando in what was a weekend full of senseless, wholly unjustified violence. There is quite the YouTube playlist at our YouTube channel; search for "Flickering Waves Europa" and the playlist should come right up.  Please remember though we encourage everyone out there to seek out physical and/or legal downloads of the music and video contained in the playlist (where available).  Please subscribe and rate us on iTunes (five stars reviews are much appreciated).  We also have a Facebook group (The Flickering Waves Podcast) as well as a Twitter (@flickeringwaves).  Listen to the end of the podcast and one can find out the subject of Episode 18 with a tentative release date of July 4th.  Take care, everyone and everywhere.

Bruce Blackman was the lead singer of the 70s band Starbuck, who had a #3 hit in 1976 with "Moonlight Feels Right". When the band broke up in 1980 Bruce turned his attention to other things until 2014 when he released his first solo album. We find out what he did in his time off, what motivated the comeback and how he got his famous style (check youtube to find out what I mean).

So now that summer is coming to an end (or over in many people's minds), our host reflects on the 1970's classic song Starbuck's "Moonlight Feels Right".  As this was never intended as a history lesson like many of the other episodes, the AM Gold classic from Starbuck is used as a springboard for a number of other topics.  Topics include but are likely not limited to the marimba (an unique componet to the Starbuck hit), how songs help recall the past, Bill Withers and how this podcast is shaping up for Episode 10 and beyond. There are three YouTube playlists mentioned in this episode.  If you want direct links to them, please look for us on Facebook (The Flickering Waves Podcast group page) and possibly Twitter (@flickeringwaves).  Episodes of the podcast can be found on flickeringwaves.com as well as iTunes (where episodes can be downloaded, the podcast be commented on and subscribe to).  Thanks for a great summer and look for us back with Episode 10 in the fall.
