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.
