I played with Chuck when I was in college. That horn, my friends, is a flugelhorn, and Chuck is the acknowledged master of it. He has had a helluva career, with this being his biggest hit, but some other tracks of his that stand out are "Land Of Make Believe," "Hill Where The Lord Hides" (the live version!), and one that he recorded for the ABC network coverage of the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, NY, called "Give It All You Got." He's really brilliant, and just a super nice guy.

You’re right it just grabs your soul. I hadn’t heard this song for decades and one day it came on a compilation commercial and I frantically tried to figure out the title but I couldn’t find it. It took me weeks to finally track it down, and then I played it on repeat at least a dozen times a day for a month.😂

If you love this, you MUST listen to another great from that era, George Benson (jazz guitarist). He's had many hits since on the pop charts, but the song "Breezin'" put him on the map. "This Masquerade " is a standard jazz classic, that everybody who listened to the radio back then, knows 💜💜💜

His "On Broadway," a remake of the old Drifters hit from the 1950s, is a standout as well. He's got a few great ones: "Give Me The Night," "Turn Your Love Around," "Breezin'"... just so many good tracks! Another in this groove would be Al Jarreau. He has a live version of "Take Five" that is just plain awesome, but "Mornin'," "We're In This Love Together," "Boogie Down," and "Moonlighting" are all great, too.

Class of '85, sousaphone/tuba player, but decided in college to learn all the brass instruments. Chuck came to play "Hill Where The Lord Hides" with our marching band at Western Michigan University, and he peeked in on my applied music lesson with our high brass TA, whose name escapes me at the moment. It was kind of amazing. He's a super nice guy. But yeah, we did "Land Of Make Believe" my sophomore year in high school, too.

While I will admit, the solo *_IS_* a favorite of mine, if you think it is the greatest ever recorded, you must not listen to a lot of music. So, I AM arguing with you on that statement. It is definitely 1 of the best jazz influenced solos I have ever heard, but just 1 of the multitude of them recorded, especially when including all the other genres out there.

Around 1983, I was working in the buying office of a big department store chain that had a great record department. One day we were all sitting there in our cubicles in this big open room, when the record buyers walked in accompanied by this guy in a hat, holding a flugelhorn. I immediately recognized who it was -- he was making a personal appearance in one of the nearby stores that day. They walked over to their department's cubicles, and the next thing we knew Chuck stood up and started playing this song. What a treat that was for the office!

Chuck was one of my dad's favorite. For his Fathers Day/Birthday gift, I would get him tickets to the show Chuck did every summer at SDSU Open Air and I would go with him. Special times. When I was in my 20's, my dad would come over to my place with a bottle of rum or JD or both and we would sit around and talk all night. Several times we talked about the afterlife and he promised that if there were any way for him to contact me after he died, he would and he stated that it would likely be some kind of music communication. When I was in my mid 50's my dad had a heart attack, we lived 800 miles apart so the morning when I heard about it, I called the hospital. I was told that he would be okay and should be going home that afternoon. Well, he died at 1:24 that afternoon and just about that time this song came to me loud as can be in my head. It was the remastered version. I knew when I heard it that he had passed on and he was letting me know what the transition felt like. Feels So Good. I now have zero fear of death

Oh, wow! You just sparked a ton of old memories for me, too, LoRita! I took every vocal music class I could in high school. I remember sitting with classmates discussing Alpert's albums and how cool we all thought that he started his own label, A&M Records. That was something unheard of in those days; a musician starting his own label. Great days for me, 'cause every time The Beatles put out a new album, my best friend and I spent every cent we had buying the LP and heading to his bedroom to use his little stereo system. We spent whole Saturday afternoons dissecting every tune, trying decide what they were trying to tell us and to articulate why these songs were magic.

@@leifcatt No, it's bigger than both instruments in physical size, but plays in approximately the same register as a trumpet. The mouthpiece is different; the bell is bigger; the horn itself is closer in shape to a French horn than a trumpet. That's what gives it its mellow tone. (I played one in college.)

[@stevelaske7591]

@@leifcatt Yes, Cornet is between Flugel and Trumpet. In general, all three are B flat instruments, so the register is the same.

[@brentottoson6974]

I started playing trumpet in 6th grade, about 1977. My Uncle Ken gave me a copy of Chuck Mangione Live at the Hollywood Bowl the next Christmas. One of my favorites is 'Chase the Clouds Away'. Chuck on keyboards, Charles Meeks on bass, I believe Chris Vadala on flute (although there's a second flutist credited) and one of Grant Geissman's best guitar solos (makes me feel like I'm on a rollercoaster), all backed by a 70 piece orchestra. All the feels, the horns, violins, highs, lows, slow, fast and slow again. It's a ride.

They had an impressive string of hits back then and seemed to pop up everywhere. One of their songs was used as a game show theme as I recall. Odd choice probably but I often listen to one of their greatest hits compilations while I work. It's flat out impossible for me to be in a bad mood while listening!

Chuck Mangione is a Jazz musician. He has played the flugelhorn and trumpet. Mangione started out his music career in 1960. He also played, recorded, and toured with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers during the 1960s. Then he branched out on his own, and recorded numerous albums, and won two Grammy Awards for his recordings. Chuck Mangione did some voiceover work for the animated FOX television series, "King Of The Hill". Mangione retired from the music industry in 2010, after a 50-year career. Chuck Mangione is 81 years old. "Feels So Good" was a HUGE hit for Chuck Mangione in 1977, during the Disco Era. It got A LOT of airplay on Rock, Pop, and Jazz/Classical music radio stations at that time. This Jazz instrumental appealed to music fans of all ages, races, and genders. I believe that this recording was the last instrumental recording with a horn instrument to have a major impact on the music charts in the United States.

[@jameskearney4100]

Flugelhorn! Horns were popular in the late 70s. I was in Drum Corp and Maynard Ferguson was the MC at the Finals that year in 79. Maynard and Chuck were very popular!!!! Both of them were STARS!

[@Calamity_Jack]

I did a music workshop with Maynard way back in the day, he was awesome! He and Chuck where our trumpeter (and Flugelhorn) heroes.

I've loved Chuck Mangione's music since I was a kid, and I'm looking real hard at 60 right now. Used to go see him every year perform live at the Landmark Theater in downtown Syracuse, New York (Chuck was born and raised in Rochester, just a hop, skip and jump to the west from here.) The people he's played with is a Who's Who in jazz music; Chick Corea, Chris Vadala, Grant Geissman, Don Potter, Dizzy Gillespie, Steve Gadd, Gerry Niewood and way too many to list! As far as other songs, hoo-boy, there's a lot! Bellavia, Hill Where The Lord Hides, Chase the Clouds Away, and much, much more! Where and when you can, find a live version...they're almost always longer, and the improv riffs they pull off are astounding! I wish I could like this video over and over and over! Oh, I think it's already been mentioned, but he plays the flugelhorn. Think of it as the "big brother" of the trumpet, it has a deeper and richer tone than the trumpet. Great choice, kids!

[@mypl510]

Yes! Chuck!!! Loved this whole album! And I was only 10 years old!! You must do more by him, and Herb Alpert

[@ronbrown912]

Not in a million years would I think you'd react to this one! It has no words but this was a great vibe back in the day. His composition "Give It All You Got" was the theme to the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York. He performed it live on a global television broadcast at the closing ceremonies.

He is an amazing jazz musician. I first heard his music song when I was very young, and it really sparked my interest in jazz. He has a huge catalog of great hits. The best Flugehorn player on the planet.

[@colibri1]

Everyone always rightly concentrates on the horn-playing in this top-ten hit from 1977, but that guitar solo has always been one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Unfortunately, this was Chuck Mangione's only big radio hit, but it does sound good played with another horn-heavy song that was a big radio hit in the late seventies: Earth, Wind, and Fire's 1978 cover of the Beatles' "Got to Get You Into My Life."

[@rickyprice7597]

Do you happen to know who the guitar player was? Because you are right, I only just realized how good that solo was.

[@greglawless6821]

I wish I could hear this for the first time again! My first time I remember hearing this I was 7-8 in the back of my parents car on vacation to Arkansas. I remember fading in and out of sleep because it was so relaxing. It was like the song was a dream. I am envious of you in this video, because I could see how much you enjoyed it.

[@Shrykespeare]

Chuck Mangione. Over sixty years in the business. This is smooth jazz at its best. And yes, Chuck had a voice role on King of the Hill. As far as instrumentals, yes, there are so many good ones. Jay, I beg you to check out Joe Satriani, one of the greatest guitar virtuosos of all time, who almost never sings. He doesn't need to. "Surfing With the Alien", "Summer Song" and "One Big Rush" will have you equating Joe with Jeff Healey and SRV.
