RIP Chuck Mangione

In the news that Ozzy had passed away on the 22nd, Chuck Mangione's passing was lost in the noise. Chuck Mangione also passed away on the 22nd, but I don't believe his family announced that for a couple of days.

If you were listening to the radio in the late 1970s, early 1980s you would have heard his music. "Feels So Good" was his signature song. It came out in 1977 and was on the radio a lot. It hit #1 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart and was #4 on The Hot 100. That mattered in 1977. I never liked that song, or I heard it so much I got sick of it. Either way, that isn't what we have today.

This song is "Give It All You Got" by Chuck Mangione from his 1980 album Fun and Games. This wasn't nearly as successful as "Feels So Good," but I like it.

"Feels So Good" was in an episode of Friends, an episode of King of the Hill, and made an appearance early in the 2016 movie Doctor Strange, among other appearances.
