ALWAYS LOVE IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Chuck Mangione - Give It All You Got REACTION

[@ML-jk3sz]

The 1980 Winter Olympic theme song! Great tune!

[@theodoreritola7641]

More 70s GOLD from 1979

[@wassupinlasvegas9735]

Played live at the closing ceremonies! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaZmZSlopKgsLs

[@algregory6597]

Chuck Mangione, performed the song (along with the song "Piña Colada") live at the Closing Ceremony, with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra.

[@andrewpetik2034]

I was 16 ......and believing in a bright future. I can't change what is going on in this world, but I try to keep a positive attitude.

[@bobholtzmann]

@@algregory6597 -- it was a real celebration to see him perform that -- all during the Lake Placid Olympic Games, athletes were talking about giving it all they got. And after the US Olympic Hockey Team beat the Russian team for the Gold, this concert by Chuck Mangione's group was so energizing.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Great tune! Big hit back in the day. Played everywhere, seriously. Please check out 'Take Five' by The Dave Brubeck Quartet.

[@Fiavis533]

yesa isa luv

[@revmarkwillems9312]

I've suggested Take Five several times as well.

[@1dkappe]

I learned to play this on fluegelhorn back in HS. Take Five is much deeper. I talked to Ravi Coltrane’s drummer a bunch of years ago. He said he went to a program where they studied and played nothing but Take Five and he really learned to hate it. 😂

[@surlechapeau]

He is a musician and composer and plays the Flugelhorn, trumpet, Fender Rhodes, and electric piano. Born and raised in Rochester NY.

[@sherrihayward4500]

My era, grew up listening to Chuck. ❤❤❤

[@jwine4145]

It amazes me the range of music (such as this song) that got airplay on pop radio back in the 70s.

[@alloallie]

Absolutely amazing choice. The interplay between Chuck's flugelhorn and Chris Vadalla on sax --- amazing.

[@sammcbride2149]

I love it when jazz artists can break through to the mainstream. They're full of amazing music that can be a lifelong journey.

[@Thejazzfan66]

I totally agree. I remember when, in the late 70’s, acts like Mangione, George Benson and Spyro Gyra got played on Top 40 radio.

[@josephapplebee9111]

Awesome, have always like his "Land of Make Believe". Also legend of the one-eyed Sailor. The whole Children of Sanchez album is Great.

[@loritajohnson5664]

Haven't heard this jam in a long time! This played on Chicago's WBMX black radio station all the time. I miss great music! Thanks Jay and Amber!

[@kevinmoon7691]

Wbmx was very progressive back then in the late 70s and early 80s

[@cashus68]

In the 6th grade i played trumpet in our school band because this guy !! , then guitar ever since and all others

[@normabreazile5500]

Awesome! 😃

[@byrontowles2018]

[@genelaford8477]

I forgot to add... my wife and my wedding song.

[@NavvyMom]

I thought they did Land of Make Believe?

[@waynegray1380]

I saw him performe that whole album live at SPAC. He had a full orchestra, Ester Satterfield, his Brother Gap on keyboards, Lou Soloff on lead trumpet and Steve Gadd on drums, what a show.

[@robinnelson1248]

Wow .... Why does this make me I feel like I'm 5 yrs old again. Like I'm in the backseat of the car with my Mom holding my little brother while my Daddy's driving. This song is a time machine

[@horton5715]

I remember seeing Chuck Mangione play at the Vermont jazz Festival in 1976 when I was 14 years old Buddy Rich,Maynard Ferguson, George Benson to name a few

[@jwine4145]

That had to be awesome!

[@NavvyMom]

WOW!

[@Thejazzfan66]

That must have been quite a concert!

[@barba7521]

Next...Spyro Gyra.... either Morning Dance or The Shaker Song. Or the Manhatten transfer version of the Shaker Song. Thank you for this song, one of my favorites of Chuck Mangione's. I think i saw Chuck at least 3 times. Once with an orchestra. He is awesome.

[@threecedarshomestead1330]

Morning Dance,

[@joy-jr7dg]

Grover Washington Jr. The "Winelight" album is superb and has the hit "Just the Two of Us" with Bill Withers✌️

[@TheAcarch2]

That one is FIRE! They are gonna love it.

[@Skeezer66]

Another classic of his is "Mr. Magic"!

[@mypl510]

Finally! Some of the good stuff!

[@LMmccallL57]

Indeed! 👍🏽

[@randysummers9228]

The whole band is top notch. Chris Vadala is terrific on sax. Grant Geissman is a tremendous guitarist who did his own thing for a while. Charles Meeks is a great bass player. Bradley on drums. He did some session work with Steely Dan. All amazing players. If you want an experience, listen to Children of Sanchez and Consuelo’s Love Theme

[@robinwehmeyer6667]

This is so awesome that you are doing a reaction to an instrumental. Wish you would do more there are so many great musicians out there.

[@scottmiller8845]

Love Chuck. Try- Children of Sanchez. Or Lullaby We use to go to Chuck concerts at the Toronto Forum at Ontario Place. An open amphitheatre where you sit on the hills, was the artist on a 360 degrees rotating stage and smell the sweet weed in the air. Late 1970s

[@jimron77]

Been listening to Smooth Jazz for more years than I can remember. The thing that I like most about this genre is that it's, for the most part, instrumental. You can just set and listen and let the instruments and their melodies take you where they will...no words to get in the way. Love all your reactions and appreciate the time you dedicate in bringing this to your many fans!! Wishing you the Best of all things in life, this day and Always!

[@breese4425]

When I started to watch “king of the hill”, I love that Chuck Mangione appears periodically on the show. I grew up with my dad playing his albums, thanks guys!

[@TheAcarch2]

Yup! It was such a different world. This was a real treat guys. Thanks so much. More great pop instrumentals from that era would be ''Summer Madness'' from Kool and the Gang, ''Biscaya'' from James Last, ''Oxygen'' from Jean-Michel Jarre. Radio and people vibed differently back then.

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

1979 I was 12. I would hear this every morning while my dad drove me to school. I started to love jazz.

[@aarongoldstein7614]

Love his "Children of Sanchez" album. My favorite is "Bellavia" which Mangione wrote for his mother.

[@NavvyMom]

I love that one too. When I was a freshman in high school, Bellavia was one of the tunes we used in our field show for marching band competition.

[@barba7521]

Love that too!

[@Thejazzfan66]

IMHO, this type of jazz can be the gateway to listening to other forms of jazz. I’m all for it. 😂😢

[@prydonia]

Amber looks like I did back in 1980 when this came on tv for the Olympics when I was twelve years old. It was spellbinding! Never mind the sports. I wanted to hear the fluegelhorn!

[@BillJackson-jt5fv]

Chuck's songs just make you sit there and smile, it just makes your soul happy!

[@desertdweller4501]

See if you can find Hill Where The Lord Hides live with the Rochester Philharmonic. I had the LP when I was in high school in the early’70s.

[@Lamma-bighitter]

Under appreciated guitarist Grant Geisseman on this & Feels so Good.

[@Clearinsound]

The radio edit retained the two key elements in the song: Mangione's flugelhorn, and the guitar solo by Grant Geissman. Other performers on the track were Charles Meeks on bass, Chris Vadala on saxophone and James Bradley, Jr. on drums.

[@entrepreneur-27g]

Gosh I used to listen to him a lot in my teenagers years. A lot of my friends too

[@kpjmphotographs9903]

So glad to see this tune on here! I’m old enough that I was very fortunate to see Chuck many times back in his heyday. I saw him and his quartet perform this tune several times. The amazing thing is, they always played it live, incredible musicians. 😊 His concerts were always amazing! His musicians on this record are some of the best that have ever played their particular instruments. Thanks for sharing this one!

[@tommythompson9565]

Check out Bob James' instrumental titled "Angela." Released in 1978 . It became the theme song for the sitcom "Taxi." 1978 - 1983

[@steviemccormick3762]

My late father loved Chuck Mangione, I can remember back in the late 70's helping him hook up his cassette player in the car so he could to him all the time. 🥰🥰🥰

[@imsirius2]

Shout out to the sax player. He is right there with Chuck every step of the way.

[@ericbertsch7336]

OMG not only is he amazing but the song is fantastic

[@luissoto8681]

Damn I mean that is feel good music Chuck Mangione is magic everything he does is like fine wine 🙂

WOW!!!!!! THE TEARS ARE FLOWING. I WAS 12 WHEN THIS CAME OUT. NOW 57. HEAVY IN THE ROTATION BACK THEN. FACTS!!!!!

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Guitar player is Grant Geismann. Fabulous! Bass is Charles Meeks. Chuck's bandmembers are all excellent musicians.

[@Eric4471066]

This song was Chuck Mangione's second and last Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song peaked at the #18 spot during the winter of 1980. By the way, this song was used as the theme song by ABC Sports during the 1980 Winter Olympics. This song is a definitely banger indeed!!!

[@charlottedixon6628]

Another instrumental by Chuck is, Feels So Good..🙂

[@StatsJedi]

They did that one.

[@charlottedixon6628]

Please react to Chuck Mangione and Marilyn McCoo performing together - Chase The Clouds Away. Just stunning!

[@stevehamilton8824]

Chuck was from my hometown of Rochester, NY. We had him and Lou Gramm with Foreigner come from our little city and were very proud of them. I think Chuck still lives there.

[@frednich9603]

This song was played in a loop at six flags over Texas in the 80's. Brings back a ton of memories

[@najwaflowers8038]

Watching you guys react to this makes me smile. My mom had this record. And I am so grateful to have been exposed to so many great artists and music as a child.❤

[@edlaufer1989]

Saw him in concert in Fairfield University gym court and his music made you forget how hard the pullout bench system seating was . Not to mention the furthest seat was just 60 feet away from him & the band. It really became a personal experience to be that close to the action.

[@memorylane7068]

Love Chuck Mangione! I got to see him at the Pensacola Saenger Theater in the 1990's.

[@LMmccallL57]

Chuck's music was often played in my grandmother's house. Guys, again I ask.... What about Boney James? I'm still holding out for hope that you'll get to The Manhattan Transfer, too. Such a unique group with a great vocalease style of singing. They sing in the same speed and key as the instruments in the band,they scat, sing jazz, bebop, soul, and R&B. They can take an instrumental and add their own lyrics for a great song, like "Birldland". Boney James (alto, tenor and soprano saxophone) - "So Beautiful" "Something Inside" (featuring Dave Hollister on vocals) "Butter" "Ride" (featuring Jaheim on vocals) "Sarah Smile" "All About You" -- The Manhattan Transfer - "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone" "Killer Joe" "Ray's Rockhouse" "Confide In Me" "Birldland" "Hot Fun In the Summertime" (featuring Chaka Khan. First by Sly and the Family Stone) "Operator" "The Thrill Is Gone" (B.B King's song, featuring B.B and Ruth Brown) "The Offbeat Of Avenues" (I would try to translate the jazz and beatnik lingo in the song for you, if you like.) "Soul Food to Go" "Gentleman With a Family" "Who, What, When, Where, Why?" (Dionne Warwick has a version, and I believe it was written by and first performed by Rupert Holmes) "A World Apart" (This song has a special place in my heart for my angel baby.) 😢

[@kdm71291]

Love Chuck! His song “Feels So Good” came out when I was in my first years of playing trumpet in junior high…my fellow trumpet friends and I loved it! This is such a cool groove. Hey, if you’re going to get into jazz, please check out some things from my two favorite trumpeters, Doc Severinsen and Maynard Ferguson……maybe “Malegueña” from Doc and “Stella By Starlight” and “Birdland” from Maynard. Also, check out performances by The Tonight Show Band lead by Doc Severinsen from The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson….there are videos of that all over KZbin….incredible big band jazz group! There is also a really fun duet of Doc and Chuck performing the song “Piña Colada”…..great horn musicianship in that! *Seriously, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet if you haven’t heard Doc Severinsen….he’s a master trumpet player!

[@newmanlesley3604]

Had this album as a kid and loved all of it ❤ my dad was a junior high band director and played trumpet most of his life and really did dig this guys 😉 music 🎶 RIP DAD MISS YOU SO MUCH 😢

I’ve always enjoyed his music. When King of the Hill made him a feature in just about every episode it reminded me to listen to him again. I love how he’s such a big star in Arlen, Texas. 😃

[@jangoliocloney3441]

This one automatically puts me in a good mood. I'll always associate this tune with the '80 Winter Olympics.

[@fredestrada2428]

I remember as a kid listening to this on my neighbors hi fidelity-stereo up to eleven and watching him having a blast doing the “air” horn with his hands 😆

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Wouldn’t hear this in just a ‘piano & wine bar’, but more like a jazz club which has tables, a stage, & usually a bar in it. But Chuck was popular enough in the ‘80’s that he played larger venues like theaters & colleges, etc. This is the same band that recorded Feels So Good, probably his biggest hit. This one was rather popular because it was chosen as one of the theme songs for the Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid, but I can’t recall the year. If you get a chance, have a listen to his incredible piece, Land of Make Belive, high has the sitinguished Esther Satterfield singing. Great reaction.🌟

[@Skeezer66]

Oooh!! This takes my back to the 70's and being a kid! You'd hear this all over the radio and clips for tv shows. There is an EPIC Chuck Mangione song, 'Children of Sanchez", that's great. but the full length version is over 10 minutes!!

[@yvettepatterson156]

I LOVE this song. It’s so inspiring!

You can never go wrong with Chuck his slick and down right awesome keep up the great vibes and thank you both for bringing it to the people 🎉

[@GeorgetteHolloway-g4q]

His mastery on the horns is like Joe Satriani on the electric guitar. This is soooo good. I am really impressed. He is using his instrument as if he was actually singing. Never heard anyone play the horns like this, how wonderful to have this much talent! Please listen to Joe Satriani "Surfing with the Aliens" you will love this also, the guitar sings.

[@rickycole6327]

Guys instrumentals were huge in the early 70s to mid 1980s almost all of them were hits most of them went to number one I remember a big instrumental hit during that time was called Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills in 1979 guys it's all piano it will remind you about your daughters in ballet and dance it's very good. keep up the great work guys.

[@mmille10]

Re. Being famous just for the instrument you play - There were a rare few musicians in the '80s who were famous just for the instrument they played. The ones I can think of, besides Chuck, are the late Vangelis, Jan Hammer (pronounced "Yan Hammer"), and Harold Faltermeyer, all for their keyboard work with synthesizers. Hammer was, of course, famous for his Miami Vice theme, and some other music for the TV series. Vangelis was pretty big for a few years for his movie soundtracks, such as in "Chariots of Fire." The same went for Faltermeyer. His most famous were theme songs for "Beverly Hills Cop," and "Top Gun."

[@Karen__kamadu]

Thank you for this! It reminded me I needed to add him to my playlist. He's from my town, Rochester, NY and I grew up listening to him in the 70s. Such an awesome artist.

If you get into instrumentals, an absolute must is a cover of Europa (original by Santana, which you actually reacted to on a lost bet) by Gato Barbieri. On tenor sax, used in many TV and movie settings. Often referred to as the "most romantic song ever recorded" (true IMHO). Give it a try, even if off air.

Charles Meeks on the Bass! The album “An Evening of Magic Live at the Hollywood Bowl” is a masterpiece! In those days, live concert recordings were garbage, but this is exquisite with his quartet and a 70 piece orchestra. I was a 13 year old 2nd chair trumpet player and worshipped this album!
