- The American flugelhorn and trumpet player, pianist, keyboardist, percussionist, composer, arranger and producer Chuck Mangione (1940) and his band play his great success 'Feels So Good', from his 1977 homonymous album.
Recorded live on the TV show 'The Midnight Special', 1978.
Believe it or not, there was a time super-talented instrumentalists could score the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100.
Yes there was. When music was about talent and a gift. Not about a machine making you sound good.
Very true
They didn't even need lyrics to express emotion ❤

@@91dci Yea, everyone is auto-tuned. I could get up there and sing and sound good.
I was a young teen when this song came out. It was such a wonderful time to be alive. This song reminds me of so many things. I wish today’s music had this kind of integrity and style.
DANG IT BOBBY!
That boy ain’t right.
Dang Ol Mega Lo Mart, talk bout, Dang Ol, BOOM man
I tell ya hwat
CHICK Mangione? I’m not a chick I’m a dude!
🎉❤😂🎉
This is real music not what we have now,real musicians.
And yet we have hits like the Disco Duck, and Fly Robin Fly back then. Let's not pretend that music back then wasn't bad.

Growing up watching King of the Hill, I always assumed that Chuck Mangione was a fictional character created for the show. I had no idea he was an actual guy, haha.
That's hilarious, but I can see how it might seem to be the case.
I just found out right now.
Today my little daughter told me she really likes this song ... makes feel happy...
I'm here because of King of the Hill. I loved that all the songs Chuck played ended up transforming into feels so good one of the funniest running gags in the series 🤣
🤣🤣👌👌
Haha when hes living in the toilet paper mountain at the Mega Lo' Mart!
@@bobjohnsdadsband3343 "What about the droppings?! There were droppings everywhere!"
"Heh heh heh! Make those Mega Lo Chumps pick em up! They owe me!"
It's because it "Feels So Good" to be alive.
Mega-Lo-Mart Propane "Fuels So Good!"
My grandfather used to play this for me all the time on his trumpet I still wish he was here so I could hear him play again
Imagine being that guitar player, completely going off on a killer solo, nailing it on live TV, and camera man just casually pans away from you for an extended shot of Chuck Mangione playing the keyboard next to you.
That is a killer solo. Would've liked to see more of it.
The interplay Is superb. Ikr, that's why i play with my eyes closed when possible!
lol 💀
The guitar player is Grant Geissman. He has more recently done a lot of music for TV programs, including Monk and Two and A Half Men.
@@dickash1003 The _good_ Monk theme, not the abomination Randy Newman wrote,
I was station in Korea at the DMZ in 1977 when this song came out I used to sleep hearing this song.
Chuck mangione- flugal horn, Chris valalla - tenor sax, Grant Geisman- guitar, Charles Meeks- bass.
HAPPY 83RD BIRTHDAY
CHARLES "CHUCK" MANGIONE

King of the Hill brought me here, Chuck Mangione made me stay.
All rise for the Canadian National Anthem.
Still have a booklet of Chuck Mangione sheet music "Feels So Good", "Maui Maui" "Fun & Games". I used to practice the music when I was about 14 (1980). Still play some today 🎺but I don't have a flugal horn (yet).
I once met Chuck Mangione at the Mega Lo Mart in Arlen, Texas.
I was born in 81 and have inherited this record from my dad. It is part of the soundtrack that defines our relationship.
I was 7 when this was released. I had no idea who he was, had a head full of hair and played the trumpet on the sofa during an interview. I was spellbound, just like I am now!
Glad to hear a new gen appreciated this music.
@merryxmaswarisover: I was born in 1968. When this song came out it was on all a.m. radio channels. Yes, it also reminds me of the times with my father.
@@Allentoxi was born in 1990 and thanks to King of the Hill, I too have cherished this song, this song is one of my fav 70s songs.
My dad used to play this record on Saturday nights, late seventies/early eighties. Now me and my son listen to with my dad. My 17 y/o son loves this song as much as i do.
This song is timeless, Craig, we all love it. Have a happy and blessed New Year!
An amazing piece of music in human history
In roughly 1975 ish I was in a summer music camp at Cal State Northridge playing trumpet and were told to go see a recital by a student named Grant Geissman, and so I went and he was phenomenal !! I think my teacher would have been Joel Leach or Mr. Delwarte ?? and to think I would be watching Grant performing with Chuck Mangione at the Hollywood Bowl a few years later and I'm sitting with Jerry Moss Herb Alpert and Gil Friesen. for the "Children of Sanchez" Live recording , I guess not really a surprise considering his great talent. BTW I also met the great Clark Terry who dropped in to offer advice and coaching to the trumpeter's.
He got it right!!! It does feel so good. Being a kid in the back of a station wagon, loving life. Thinking about what I was going to do for the weekend and what toons to watch on a Saturday morning. Life was simple and soooooo good
Simpler times. I'm so grateful I was a kid in the 70's - 80's. Life was wonderful. No tech distractions. Summer's that seemed to last forever. After cartoons and breakfast was over on Saturday morning, me and my siblings were kicked out of the house where we played with friends all day and early evening. We would return at 6 p.m. for dinner and then beg to go out some more. That is a time that will never happen again...at least in my lifetime. By the way, I still remember the TV ad that every night stated, "It's 11:00 p.m. Do you know where your children are?" Yes, life was quite safe back then and we rarely locked our doors.
Yo lo viví. Linda infancia 🥰
@@daveb2280same thing here. I was born in 1974 and the 70's and 80' was such a wonderful time in history for better or worse.
i like the cute dance chuck does with the trumpet when he's not playing 😊
Uhhm actchually its a flugelhorn
His energy shows he loves it
What a genuine musician he is!!!
I know a lot of fun has been made of this tune, but it's really a great and lasting song. I bought the album then it was getting lots of radio play.
🎸 that guitarist is killer!
👍🎶🎶🎸
Grant Geissman!
He is an angel; when we were listening to him everything turned out perfect in the Operating Room Table!
Loved since I first heard it in 1977 as a 12 year old, heck the whole country loved this song back then. It was everywhere, all the time!! Pure Magic!!! That lead guitar work, WOW is all I can say!! Thanks Chuck!
I woke up with this song circling in my head. Now I must dance.
💃🏾
I remember watching him play this at our towns mega lo mart opening ❤
This was played so much in the 80s and 90s!!! I had no idea it came out in 1977!!
Brings back childhood memories. For some reason when i here this jam, i think I'm in a fancy elevator or walking the malls. Still a great song to jam to.
Awesome bass
reminds me of the good old days when i was a kid.
My grandparents ised to play this sometimes at the donner table ... God I miss a civilized world. This song embodies peace and family to me. I miss tthem so much
Wow what a phenomenal group of musicians! A ton of talent on that stage. That guitar player shredding that solo was amazing, i had no idea he was that great. Im blown away. Have loved this song since it first came out.
You're very welcome, Smoothpicker, yes, those were great musicians indeed. Have a great day, God bless you.
The guitar player is Grant Giesmann
I think they had another gig after this one because they were speeding towards the end of the song
I’m an 80s kid and I remember when this was still played in the radio.
In my set list
One of the best jazz tunes ever recorded!!
Facts
this and Weather Report's Birdland defined jazz for this era
Totally agree!!!
Haha, don't forget take 5 Dave Brubeck
This and take 5 my top 2
Probably the best concert I ever saw. Being a musician myself, I was impressed with the professionalism and the outstanding talent or every single member of the group. Just over the top. Children of Sanchez is the ultimate greatest album I have ever owned. Hat's off Chuck to you and your group.
1977 Honolulu…yes he was phenomenal…with Chris Vadalia, Charles Meeks, & James Bradley Jr! unforgettable
++ children of Sanchez. Don Potters voice added an entire new dimension to the music as well.
The amount of talent is astonishing. Really good
Ha ha I finally found out who did this song. one . One of those those songs that I hear now and then in some restaurant or department store that I could not remember who did it , but I definitely remember from the 70s as a kid. This was on those easy listening light rock 70’s pop stations my parents listen to on road trips in our many hippie vans, Complete with the tall whip CB antennas of course !Now I know who it was, thanks UA-cam.
Amazing.... not enough of quality musician ship these days... been listening to this for as long as I can remember...
It’s not just an instrumental song, though it can stand alone as that. It has lyrics, words!!
Great live version!!
Listening to this is always like a drink of refreshing cold water under the summer heat
Heard this yesterday 😮 a straphanger and I were getting of the subway and it took me back I said "Chuck Mangione " I hadn't heard this in years. 🥰
My favorite part is when it gets funky!
maaaaaan i was a kid and this was my jam i was in elementary school its what made me wanna play and instrument i played flute i was in love with this man along with my other crushes every mornimg my mom would have the radio on and like clock work this song was on haha lol
thnx
chuck
rip trumpet man
Chuck is alive and well at 82, dee dee. Take care, God bless you.
@@alsuz,,,,,,,,, Man I was in elementary school when heard this and watch the traffic lights from my bedroom window change Day dreaming ✅We truly grew up to the real sounds of musical instruments,,,,,, the anyways
Always loved the cheese factor on this song, but that bassist is amazing.
For a song that is used as a joke often, it is really good.
MY GOODNESS THAT GUITAR SOLO!! Grant was phenomenal!!!
absolutely GOAT level talent. the switch from keys to brass was amazing.
I'm not too much a fan of instrumental music ,but after seeing this performance fell in love with the song. When I was in elementary school, I remember this show and performance wow bring good memories. I also love the song breezin by George Benson the music tells a story.
I like to squish around n in a used diaper while run through the panty drawer and trash cans at your house when your out.
I remember seeing them play on a Boston morning show called Good Day back in '77. I loved it then at 11 years old and still do today.
This got stuck in my head the other day and I remember first hearing it at 17 years old.....
Memory of my youth in Bahamas Island keep the lonely away!!!
I used to watch The Midnight Special all the time great show
Definitely one of my all time favourite instrumentals.
mi hermano ponia sus canciones cuando yo era un niño y cuando salia en el canal de kpbs lo miravamos y por eso me trae buenos recuerdos
Complicated chord progressions that sound so cool!
I heard this song when I was young..but never knew the song title
Ahhh...." Feels So Good"!!
Think they nailed the title...cuz I'm feeling good tapping my toe in a happy mood.
Who's with me?
Feels so Good to hear this great song!😀
Best jazz band ever
He saved Rusty Shackleford from those 70's kids
Dude. This live version is half the length of the album recording but feels like it's twice as long. Phenomenal performance from everyone in the band
One thing about it is that it's about 10% faster than the original version, just coming down to random inconsistencies of playing live.
There were two versions. The long version on the album and the short version on the 45 rpm single that was played on top 40 radio. I still have the 45 single that Ithat I got back when I was a kid
Many years ago, I watched a tv show about unusual people with great talents. One man sounded like a trumpet without using a trumpet, and i always wondered what the song was. It sounded like a tv theme, but I couldn't quite work out what it was (though my mind kept going to St. Elsewhere). Now, while watching "Friends", my thoughts went to the episode where Joey's neighbour was singing "Morning's Here", when all of a sudden i realised it was the same tune as what I had heard the man play many years ago. Having Googled the "Morning's Here" tune, I found myself here. So glad to finally know what the name of the song is! 😊👍
King of the hill
im 7 years old and feel so good day by day~
This is dedicated to a ole friend of mine and the only person in this world that knows the meaning behind it. To this best with the best wishes .
is your friend chuck mangione
Dont know why but it feel so GOOOOD
That Chuck Mangione is one class act
This song and Emily by Dave Koz and Rise be Herp Allbert are the most beautiful melodies on horns I've heard.
My mother had this in her collection of 33" albums. I have always enjoyed this ear candy, as my music teacher Mr Gambi- used to say to our class, "The mark of a good song is that anyone can whistle it back after hearing it just once! My teacher Mr Gambi- at The School of Creative and Performing Arts- Cincinnati Ohio- mid 70s. "A good song has a memorable melody in which one can whistle back after only hearing the melody one time! "Feels so Good" by Chuck Mangione has what Mr. Gamby talked about 😎🎸🎶🎶
What a Song- what a feeling, love it...
I first heard this when i was a second grade.. now im on my fifthies and still love it😊
and it's still an uplifting feeling to hear this song
This was so popular in the 70s. It was the jam.
you haven't lived yet until you jammed out on stage with Chuck Mangione, geezz
These were the days when you had to have the wah rhythm guitar going or you were nobody. Love it
Timeless piece of music. Been listening to this song as far back as I remember. Its what drove me to play.
Brings back so many memories!! ❤❤❤❤
Man they’re burning through this!
king of the hill
Blast from the past! Feels So Good was one of the first albums I ever bought. It kept my sanity to blast and dance to my first year of college in '77.
AMAZING ANG NICE TALENT*
It does, indeed, Feel So Good
Love this music! 💖😱🎵
Close my eyes, listen to this and i feel like flying

Happy Birthday Chuck Mangione born on November 29, 1940. He is an American flugelhorn player, voice actor, trumpeter and composer. He came to prominence as a member of Art Blakey's band in the 1960's, and later co-led the Jazz Brothers with his brother, Gap. He achieved international success in 1977 with his jazz-pop single "Feels So Good". Mangione has released more than 30 albums since 1960. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Mangione
morning is here!
Catching up to Herb Alpert. Lol. Rock on.
The only thing I would criticize about this video is that they concentrated on Mangione's piano during Geisman's guitar sole. Grant was, and I presume still is a wonderful jazz guitarist.
I agree. It brings back great memories, but I wanted to see the drummer in action. He's doing some good work behind the scenes.
I believe that was James Bradley Jr. Listen to him on Children of Sanchez.
true. who was that drummer driving it? anybody?
Great guitar solo!!!
Grat musicians Chris vadala on reeds
Real talent!
I remeber seeing him playing this song on a float in a parade way back in the 70's when this song was still popular; I cant remember if it was macys thanksgiving; can't find a clip of it. 🙁
HAPPY 82ND BIRTHDAY
CHARLES "CHUCK" MANGIONE
