Rest in Peace Chuck Mangione. The master of the flugel horn. "Feels So Good" was everywhere. Raise your hand if this banger was played in your home growing up. πΆπΆπΆπΆ

My band teacher in 5th grade, in 1978, thought it was a good idea for us to learn it, because it was so popular and not rock music. We did not learn it.

I have mixed feelings here. Teched a Mangione show in college (student theatre tech).Our instructions were βdo not make eye contact with the artist, do not speak to the artist, step aside if the artist approaches youβ and so on. He was a talented musician, butβ¦ I will reserve my opinion otherwise.

I was 5 when that song came out. I was instantly enamored by it. It's still a favorite. I love that in more recent years, he plated himself on "King Of The Hill" and turned every song into "Feels So Good". I'm in Rochester, where he lived. He's definitely being celebrated & remembered.

Actually saw him in concert when I was in highschool. I remember sneaking a tape recorder in to tape a 90 minute tape, hoping I wouldn't be caught. Wasn't caught, but on the long drive home, my car's tape player ate the tape & I had to carefully pull out yards of crinkled tape without breaking it ππ΅βπ«
