I lost my husband, Jimmy Cobb, last May 29th. He was the base player for Starbuck. Thank you! for making my day a little easier!

[@deeanna3335]

I'm sorry to hear that. This is one of my favorite songs.

[@brendahhstiles9992]

Condolences to you and your family.🌕

[@concettaworkman5895]

So sorry for your loss. I was 13 when this came out. What a wonderful song, and great memories. I will remember him when I hear this.

[@charlesbontempo6934]

I’m sorry for your loss. Jimmy helped make this song what it is to many of us. With all my health issues and problems in this world, this is a song that takes me away for a bit. Forever young;forever summer. Love to u

[@nolaknowles9888]

I am so sorry for your loss! He will be truly missed by all his fans.

[@sueparras6028]

As someone who was a teenager in the 70's I approve this music 🎶 🎵! 👍💯🤣🇨🇦

[@michaelasay8587]

Did you like the great Karen Carpenter??

[@petiteme1960]

Ditto!

[@VikingMom1970]

I was born in 1970 and I have always loved this song ❤

[@bunnyheywood]

Wasn't it fun being a teenager in the 70's?!!! Oh I soooo loved it! Yeah this song you read between the lines to understand 😊😜 I love Kid Rock's song "All Summer Long" it makes me think about our fun 70's 😊

[@angelacurtis5912]

I’m a 70’s teen and this is is so good!

[@Chris.Davis.2]

You go girl!!!

[@seanswinton6242]

I believe you. I'm slightly younger with 2 older siblings who were in high school in the 70's. They were 76 ans 77 grads. I graduated in the mid 80's so between them and 2 more even older sisters I grew up with the best music! From Dave Clark , Beatles, Hendrix, Motown, Stax, Dylan, Chicago, EWF, Clapton, Frampton, Bowie, Zappa, you name it. Also the stuff I heard on Casey Kasem. I began sax at 9, so the Funk, Disco, and anything with sax I learned to play, especially guitar solos like "Jessica" "Do You Feel Like We Do?" by ear. Then the 80's stuff too. Jazz, Classical, New Age, more Country, and other genres exploded. The 80's was the last great Rock years for the saxophone except live. It's a shame music isn't as good as it used to be.

[@baird5776mullet]

Hear, hear, i was a few months shy of 19 when this song really took off in 76

[@MAGAchick63]

We definitely had the best music!!!

[@jmace1957]

The woman he sings about in the song is still his wife after almost 50 years. I like that. And the xylophone player did it in one take.

[@margaretkendall1640]

Actually, it was a marimba.

[@dmunz7015]

@@margaretkendall1640 xylophone, vibraphones cousin.

[@annalisamandell3581]

I love it!

[@terregildon7250]

Went to High School with Bruce Blackman, the song writer and performer . This is a song about his now wife!

[@daviddaviski8069]

Another thing you guys may find interesting, is that the marimba solo you hear on that recording was actually done in ONE TAKE WITH NO REHEARSAL. Bo Wagner, the man who played that solo, was asked to just lay something down while they were in studio recording, and on the fly he came up with the solo you hear on that song. Once he did it, he expected to do more takes because he thought he could do it better, but the band was so impressed they told him it was so good he would never improve on that, so they ended up using that completely improvised marimba solo on the record. Amazing!

[@marel5932]

I remember this song when I was a teen. I live in Maryland and we were stoked that it mentions Chesapeake Bay!!

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

This is one of a bunch of songs associated with the glorious Summer of 1976

[@todderickson2435]

As a lifelong percussionist, I appreciate that insane marimba solo every single time I hear it. WOW!! (It was actually a marimba, the "big brother" of the xylophone.) Beyond incredible!

[@laurogarza4953]

Teenage girls would dance around together just the way you danced in your chair, Amber. This was just their "Groove."

[@kellisklozzet2942]

The moment Jay picked up on what the song was talking about is PRICELESS!!!!

[@magneto7930]

The instrument is called a marimba. I saw these guys in concert when this song was a hit. It was unforgettable, especially the marimba solo!

[@seanswinton6242]

Yes, I studied that a bit in a percussion class I took at university. The keyboards were my fascination at that time as we were about to hit the 80's synth explosion. This and "Dancing in the Moonlight" are my favorite 70's "moonlight' songs.

[@lavonheadrick]

Class of ‘77. Yep. 😁

[@mikefrerichs8860]

Exactly! Xylophones have a very bright, sharp, metallic sound. Marimbas or vibraphones are normally what are used in music such as this, or especially in jazz.

[@Seagate1-dh6it]

@@mikefrerichs8860 Yes Vibes Alive featuring Dirk Richter. Check out the song "Smooth Move" if you have never heard it. The whole album Vibes Alive is just wonderfully smooth. Such ear candy and an eargasm. "Sticky Fingers" and "On Second Thought" are also tasty. The whole album is.

[@fantasyguru26]

Its not a xylophone, its a marimba. Definitely makes this song unique.

[@salsanchez4177]

This is one of my all-time faves. Jordon is right to assume there are many memories attached to these songs u are listening to. U have NO idea how we appreciate the two of u

[@sunnystormy4973]

-amazing !-

[@craigcraigster4999]

Wonderful reaction guys! I kept waiting for the smiles to erupt, and once that chorus hit, BAM, so did your smiles! 😁 The instrument for the solo is a marimba, played by Starbuck co-founder Bo Wagner, and it is arguably the greatest marimba solo ever recorded -- it was a spur-of-the-moment improvisation, and he nailed it in ONE TAKE. There's a YT interview available where Bo provides additional interesting details about the song and his iconic solo, it's worth finding. Thanks for the 1976 junior year of high school memories guys, this fantastic song was played everywhere back then. 👍 ☮️😎

[@BadlndsBob]

I agree. I always loved this song and hoped they would get around to it. It's not a xylophone, but is a marimba. The live video on this actually matches the studio version and is a great watch, especially with the marimba solo!

[@Eric4471066]

This song was Starbuck's one and only Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It peaked at the #3 spot on the Billboard Top 40 chart around the summertime of 1976. This song is a definite banger indeed!!!

[@liberaljag]

“Everybody Be Dancin’” peaked at #38 the following year.

[@sunnystormy4973]

-awesome !-

[@peterflynn2111]

Was a minor hit here in Australia in the Winter of 76 peaked at 24 in AUG 1976 .top tune though

[@clelldrumheller4837]

Bo Wagner was, probably, the best marimba player in rock 'n roll.

[@williamsherman1089]

Out of a crowd of what, 4 or 5, ten tops lol. Great comment buddy 👍

[@clelldrumheller4837]

@williamsherman1089 I guess few could master it.

[@vry2116]

Nothing like soft rock, R&B,soul and Funk

[@jgraham8248]

That's a marimba, my friend. Probably the best marimba solo ever....certainly the best solo ever in a pop song. You need to read the amazing back-story of how this solo made it into the song!

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

This is such a cool, chill song! Nice soothing tune. Love it ! 🌹

[@raythomas4812]

This is one of those songs that just transports you back to the time when it came out - you can even smell whats was for dinner !!

[@pammcmonigle6061]

I’m from a small town with not even a red light! There was nothing to do but go “parking” or just cruise back and forth on the streets. This song has great memories!!

[@gypsyrocker]

I knew as soon as the chorus kicked in Amber was going to light up! She didn't disappoint. 👏👏 Love this song, and I LOVE his voice.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

You better believe it, stars and steamy windows.

[@Dakotaman2003]

This song hit the charts 2 years after I graduated from high school and I thought I had the world by the tail! What a memory!

[@seanswindler3325]

The follow-up "I Got To Know" barely missed the Top 40 and is also pretty good

[@stevencosta2432]

Very easy to confuse a xylophone and a marimba. Very similar instruments played the same way. The difference is in the keys. A xylophone has metal keys, while the marimba has wooden keys. The marimba was developed in Central America from Mexico down to Costa Rica.

[@richardconnolly4835]

Afternoon Delight (Starland Vocal Band) during the day and Starbuck's Moonlight for the evening - a song for every time.

[@lreed1040]

And More, More, More (Andrea True Connection) to fill in the rest. Lol 1976 what a time.

[@landreaulover]

Possibly my favorite song of all time. I think you had to be alive in 1976 and listening to it that Summer to fully appreciate age -- very smooth and different from anything else at that time!

[@LarryNeie-lj7zc]

You say you came to Baltimore from ole Miss, class of 74 gold ring. The eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss! Those lyrics just knock me out! I'm 72 and love this song forever!

[@leonlaffoon9989]

That wonderful warm instrument is called a Marimba.

[@TENshekelBrutha]

“I Got To Know” is another great song! I listened to the whole album for the first time yesterday and Loved It! Never heard of them until I started listening to Yacht Rock 😎

[@BenLapke]

Marimba solo! In the ‘70s I was listening to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc., but this song was one of my guilty pleasures.

[@trinkab]

Oh!!! I loved this song!! I havent heard this one in a long time!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@cynthiawhite9830]

Same with me!

[@alanmusicman3385]

You should listen to more Internet Radio stations. This one is on the 70s channels a lot - as are many other of the best 70s hits. FM radio music didn't vanish, it went online like everything else.

[@tedthonn3026]

I smile every time I here this!

[@jeffthewhiff]

This is one of the best "one hit wonder" songs of all-time! Jay, I think what you were trying to think of, was being with a special friend at "Inspiration Point!"😀

[@floorticket]

Pure 70s bliss man.

[@murrayspiffy2815]

One of the best "summer time" songs for driving down the highway. Turn it up - and drive fast.

[@bp-ob8ic]

The marimba solo stirred her to the core. This is the reaction us teenagers in the 70s always wanted when we played this song for our crush. Sadly, it didn't happen, because we were dorks, and she preferred jocks.

[@CoopyKat]

The "xylophone solo" (I always thought that's what it was too was actually a Marimba, a very cool instrument. That solo was the first take, and it was totally improvised, not rehearsed!

[@Retroearthling]

An amazing solo, He did it in ONE TAKE i read.

[@jesselobo3213]

Another great song from the 70s that makes one feel good with nostalgic memories.

A xylophone! Lyrics are adorable. Instruments and melody are perfect. Total win on this one 😊

Starbuck was great for their day and had a somewhat big following with their jazzy,calypso folkie,southern beat type music...also don't forget their folllow up ....i got to know!

[@monkface]

Gosh I used to hear this as a kid on the radio (am radio what a time!) and I didn't know who it was or anything, i just knew it by his raspy voice! Plus that was a marimba, but yes it was crazy great! Also his little laugh before each chorus! Nothing but fun memories.

Jay is right on the money as to the lyrics and the verbal winks from the singer. This was a constant on the radio the summer after my freshman year in college. Glad y'all got to experience this magical song.

[@StarbuckMusic]

Correct.

[@AmericanShia786]

I love the marimba solo. This song brings back so many memories from my teen years! This was Starbuck's only big hit. But, what a hit! The marimba reminds me of the jazzy Baha Marimba band.

[@acb9231]

A blast from the past! Came out in 76. Cool song, brings back fond memories of the 70s. Felt like having a cup of coffee afterwards ☕️. ✌️

[@jeffreyflint6286]

The seventies and getting ready to graduate! Great song!👍👍

[@86crud]

Oh, yes. Now we’re talking.

[@stevenblock9712]

But he came to Baltimore (my hometown) from Ole Miss and enjoyed the Chesapeake Bay. Some songs just make you feel happy, right?

[@suzannchester3007]

He did that in one take on the marimba! I recommend you watch the live version to see him play it - awesome.

[@murraytown4]

They were called the submarine races. This brings back memories of the ole crackling clock radio.

[@lilpoohbear653]

this song is a complete MOOD...love it....Amber was tearin it up :))))

[@audriusurvakis9604]

Someone at some point said: " You know what this track needs? A fire xylophone solo"

[@jonstreng7850]

So I was a percussion student at the time when this song came out. It played on the radio as my teacher and I and and a couple of others were on our way to a recital. When the marimba solo ends, our teacher says that should be your goals. To be able to play that marimba solo. The five of us said Are you serious😮! She said Yes I would love to hear you play it eventually. We all laughed. None of us ever did play it and, sadly, I stopped taking lessons two years later so I never saw any of them again. Still haven't to this day

[@peterhadfield9840]

[@ronaldthemighty4809]

I was into heavy metal, glam rock, ect. Anything loud, and banging. When this came out. At first I thought what is this? Until the chorus hit. From that moment on this song became part of the soundtrack of my life. And it can still take me back to those days. Loved it then, love it now that I've learned to embrace all good music! Thanks for the memory!

Listening to the radio back during the 70's was an amazing decade cause you had one great song after another. Especially when a new song hit the charts. That was excitement in the air. .

[@beckireiss3278]

One of my favourites!

[@reneleeper7296]

Bruce Blackman wrote and sings this song. It is mainly about him chasing a girl in college (she is now his wife). There is a great video where he explains how the song was written, the instruments that were used and how he changed some facts so the lyrics worked. I love this song.

[@teej0813]

This came out in 1975. Great song and way ahead of its time. In the mid-70s, music split into several genres... hard rock, acid rock, bubblegum (Sugar, Sugar), disco (ABBA), and progressive (like this song). I think I hear organ used as a pad to add fullness to the basic rhythm track, and that's definitely an early synthesizer playing fills between lyrics. This was the genre that survived into the 80s... lots of synths. The instrument taking the lead break is a marimba... built similar to a xylophone but larger, pitched one (two?) octave lower, and producing a more mellow sound. Both are percussion instruments, laid out and tuned like a piano, and struck with mallets. As I understand it, marimbas always have wood keys, while a xylophone can have wood or metal. MOTOWN used the marimba in lots of their 60s hits. Great song, great reaction, you two.

[@StarbuckMusic]

You are right. I did use the flute bars on a B3 as a pad. You're also right about the synths. We used 6 minimoogs on stage.

[@budabk]

The lead vocalist was inspired to write the song while using a toilet in Uruguay. He heard a marimba being played in the next room and determined the sound would be used in his next song.

[@zorak1704]

I introduced my wife to this song when we met in 2011. It’s her favorite song now. She uses the marimba solo for a ringtone. I bought her a copy of the album and framed it for her. It hangs next to my copies of Steely Dan Aja and Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees.
