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.
2024.......and it STILL feels good! I was 15 when this song came out. When my radio went off to wake me for school, this would be playing. I believe I was in a good mood for the rest of the day! Lol
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 🤣
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
What i like is, all the musicians/instruments are playing a prominent role in this song...Mangione isn't having them have a lesser role and drowning out their sound... Great Song
This song brings me back to 9 years old- the happiest time of my life, brings me back to my grandmother, the summer, ban de sole- the smell of her cigarette when the match touched the end.. that first puff. So delightful.. want to be there again
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.
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!
@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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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
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.
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 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?
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! 😊👍
(Intro) Feels...so...good To imagine that My heart so sad One day will finally feel glad To catch a break For goodness sake And that's when we met by mistake And now I see Indubitably Magically A new start ahead of me Could this be what I'm praying for It's a feeling that I never felt before (1st verse) Feels...so...good To see your face I can't quite place Why your look feels like sunburst rays Lighting my way For me to say That I am happy that you came Into my life You brought sunshine A love divine No need to run and hide It's true that we can conquer all When we answer love's call When it tells us to hear and see That there is always harmony So let's stand up to do things right (2nd verse) And then maybe...we'll... Find a better way To play this game That we call life without the strife By being kind We heal the mind The answer was us all this time Come be with me As it should be Live serenely No need for more misery A better place once and for all Lift each other when we fall Because it's the right thing to do Somehow we surely know it's true Let's do away with agony So we can love... (Solos) (3rd verse) Feels...so...good To have you here Brings me to tears Remembering I used to fear Being alone But you have shown That every soul can find a home Each other's hearts That's where it starts Can't break apart Such a lovin' so large The world looks so bright since you came And I got only you to blame. For all the good things around me You've made my life feel so lovely I'm ready to give it my all So we can love... (Repeated Outro) No more feeling sad and lonely Cause now it's always you and me No more feeling sad and lonely Cause from now on it's you and me
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
This is awesome - I'm so glad live videos of Chuck are showing up here on UA-cam finally ! I saw him and his band twice in the 1970s - they were awesome !
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 😎🎸🎶🎶
Estoy conduciendo mi auto hacia el supermercado ja ja ja que buen tema Yo también me siento bien y mejor cuando es fin de mes gracias chuck mangione a ti y a toda tu banda por tan buena música también las gracias al que subió el vídeo y a UA-cam que buenos recuerdos
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 ❤

FEELS SO GOOD THANK YOU MR MANGIONE!

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.

Saw Chuck Mangione in Salt Lake in 1983 and met his parents selling band merchandise in the lobby. What a lovely couple.
@@tiadaidthere was bad, and there was better yeah
@@tiadaid; Those songs are classics....lol!!
I was station in Korea at the DMZ in 1977 when this song came out I used to sleep hearing this song.
I once met Chuck Mangione at the Mega Lo Mart in Arlen, Texas.
Popular spot to see him. lol

This song is timeless, Craig, we all love it. Have a happy and blessed New Year!
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,
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.
I just also found out rn
Hes wearing the same iconic attire haha!@@MegaAeroforce1
Guys also just found out 😂
Oh my god! I thought I was the only one!
I just looked it up. He voices himself on King Of The Hill.
😮😢😊❤🎉i was 9 then.great song .memories......
King of the Hill brought me here, Chuck Mangione made me stay.
Just incredible to watch these amazing artists working together.
I woke up with this song circling in my head. Now I must dance.
💃🏾
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
Allen, yes- I feel the same.. it brings me back to my grandmother in the summertime.. wonderful wonderful times

Marlboro Reds? I remember the scent of my aunts & uncles lighting up. It was always Marlboro Reds.
Yes the reds!
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

Best times in music ever. Great child hood song that was played everywhere! Love this. ❤❤
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!

Chuck mangione- flugal horn, Chris valalla - tenor sax, Grant Geisman- guitar, Charles Meeks- bass.
James Bradley jr
On drums
reminds me of the good old days when i was a kid.
What a genuine musician he is!!!
Stellar guitar solo.
I remember watching him play this at our towns mega lo mart opening ❤
He is an angel; when we were listening to him everything turned out perfect in the Operating Room Table!
This was played so much in the 80s and 90s!!! I had no idea it came out in 1977!!
I was in high school, and I used to play the saxophone in my high school band, and we used to play this song on the football field
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.
This song was a big hit😊
I used to watch The Midnight Special all the time great show
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
Listening to this is always like a drink of refreshing cold water under the summer heat
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).
Saw him at the Universal Amphitheater. What a phenomenal concert that was, back in the '70s
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
Wow...I was 11 when this came out. Wonderful memories ❤
I’m an 80s kid and I remember when this was still played in the radio.
In my set list
This got stuck in my head the other day and I remember first hearing it at 17 years old.....
Dancin'!
Ha ha I finally found out who did this song. one .

All rise for the Canadian National Anthem.
im 7 years old and feel so good day by day~
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.
Definitely one of my all time favourite instrumentals.
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
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
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. 🥰

Reminds me of the good old days!
Great music
MY GOODNESS THAT GUITAR SOLO!! Grant was phenomenal!!!
Breathtaking!
Feels so Good to hear this great song!😀
Best jazz band ever
1980 WINTER OLYMPICS!!!!!!
Timeless piece of music. Been listening to this song as far back as I remember. Its what drove me to play.
What a Song- what a feeling, love it...
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.
and it's still an uplifting feeling to hear this song
amazing how Chuck played that great guitar solo on the electric piano
Ultimate easy listening
Amazing.... not enough of quality musician ship these days... been listening to this for as long as I can remember...
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?
Great live version!!
Brings back so many memories!! ❤❤❤❤
absolutely GOAT level talent. the switch from keys to brass was amazing.
That Chuck Mangione is one class act
Man they’re burning through this!
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! 😊👍
Ahh! Just what I needed on a manic Monday!
It’s not just an instrumental song, though it can stand alone as that. It has lyrics, words!!
you haven't lived yet until you jammed out on stage with Chuck Mangione, geezz
I first heard this when i was a second grade.. now im on my fifthies and still love it😊
(Intro)
Feels...so...good
To imagine that
My heart so sad
One day will finally feel glad
To catch a break
For goodness sake
And that's when we met by mistake
And now I see
Indubitably
Magically
A new start ahead of me
Could this be what I'm praying for
It's a feeling that I never felt before
(1st verse)
Feels...so...good
To see your face
I can't quite place
Why your look feels like sunburst rays
Lighting my way
For me to say
That I am happy that you came
Into my life
You brought sunshine
A love divine
No need to run and hide
It's true that we can conquer all
When we answer love's call
When it tells us to hear and see
That there is always harmony
So let's stand up to do things right
(2nd verse)
And then maybe...we'll...
Find a better way
To play this game
That we call life without the strife
By being kind
We heal the mind
The answer was us all this time
Come be with me
As it should be
Live serenely
No need for more misery
A better place once and for all
Lift each other when we fall
Because it's the right thing to do
Somehow we surely know it's true
Let's do away with agony
So we can love...
(Solos)
(3rd verse)
Feels...so...good
To have you here
Brings me to tears
Remembering I used to fear
Being alone
But you have shown
That every soul can find a home
Each other's hearts
That's where it starts
Can't break apart
Such a lovin' so large
The world looks so bright since you came
And I got only you to blame.
For all the good things around me
You've made my life feel so lovely
I'm ready to give it my all
So we can love...
(Repeated Outro)
No more feeling sad and lonely
Cause now it's always you and me
No more feeling sad and lonely
Cause from now on it's you and me
Thank you for the lyrics, Marcalos, such an amazing song, God bless you!
Love this music! 💖😱🎵
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
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.
This is awesome - I'm so glad live videos of Chuck are showing up here on UA-cam finally ! I saw him and his band twice in the 1970s - they were awesome !
