It's from the 1970's. It mentions the Chesapeake Bay and crabcakes, and I think it mentions flying in from Denver. The chorus says "Tonight", then a little keyboard ditty, then again says either "Tonight" or "Feels right" and a little keyboard ditty. Can anyone help me with the name of the song and the artist? I wish I could describe it better. Thanks.

The 1973 Top Ten chart song is called Moonlight Feels Right, and is by the obscure 70's pop band Starbuck. They are considered a one-hit wonder and this is it:
The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky french connection
you winked and gave me your o.k.
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
the moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right.
We'll lay back and observe the constellations
and watch the moon smiling bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
'cause southern belles are hell at night
you say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss
a class of '74 gold ring
the eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss
to make the tide rise again
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right.
We'll see the sun come up on Sunday morning
and watch it fade the moon away
I guess you know I'm giving you a warning
'cause me and moon are itching to play
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
the moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right

Moon light feels right by Starbuck
Is '70s jazz-pop the next musical style to fall victim to crate-digging nostalgia? Surely snippets of Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears have cropped up on a club mix or two, but Starbuck? Well, if the notion does grab some bedroom-ensconced audio auteur, they should stray no further than this debut by the band best known for the MOR-friendly, mid-'70s smash "Moonlight Feels Right." This and the original album's nine other tracks find the Georgia combo plying their jazz- and funk-infused pop by way of marimba runs, synth accents, and keyboardist/producer Bruce Blackman's drowsily svelte vocals (he's the missing link between Barry Manilow and Pavement's Stephen Malkmus, no?). Unfortunately, the quality of the album material is not matched by the five bonus CD tracks included from the group's obscenely titled second release, Rock 'n' Roll Rocket: All the snap and groove of the earlier cuts is replaced by leaden rhythm tracks and unimaginative arrangements. Still, this is certainly a worthwhile album for listeners wanting to delve beyond the surface of '70s Top 40. ~ Stephen Cook, All Music Guide
