This was my fathers favorite musician. In November of 2016 his aneurism burst and he was slowly dying and very uncomfortable. I put this on and layed my phone next to his ear. He looked at and smiled and passed away peacefully

I want to do a study and measure dopamine levels in people when this song is played. The second it comes on, my eyes start swelling up with happy tears, my skin gets goosebumps, and then when the rest of the band starts coming in, I get super excited and start "air playing" all the instruments in the car. It makes me want to pull over and start dancing in the streets. Fantastic song.

There's Joe Bonadio/drums he left my band and went to NYC and got the gig with Mangione. This must be early in his gig because he's a MONSTER but here he's playing real conservatively. The beginning of this version was real nice! Best to all!

[@Galivantin]

Chuck Mangione had always being one of my favorite performers from my youth, so it is not surprising that when he came to a High School near woodbine, MD where my family lived, that I would want to sit as close as I possibly could to the stage where he played his hit songs. I was probably 23 years old but for that one night, I was a teenager again. He made his way through the back of the auditorium and toward the main stage while playing :Feel so good" and let me tell you, as he walked by me, I was filled with joy, I jumped off my seat, I applauded and shout with glee, I can truly say that everytime I hear this song, I remember that night, when nothing mattered except that two hours later, it was over. Thank you Chuck Mangione, thank you to the people who gave us tickets to that concert, too, you made a difference that night.
