I grew up in the Rochester NY Area - and he was as much of a legend as Lou Graham of Foreigner.

Feels So Good.

1. Sad. What an awful week for celebs.

[House of Roberts]

6. Three from the music world

Mangione, Ozzy and Golden Earring's guitarist George Kooymans.

Plus Hulk Hogan and Malcolm-Jamal Warner.

11. Although Malcolm was best known for his acting, he was also an accomplished bass player.

Class act and good human. Great loss at a relatively young age. Rest in peace Malcolm.

[StarlightGold]

16. And

Connie Francis.

[angrychair]

29. Hulk Hogan died?

I did not know that. Fuck that racist.

[niyad]

30. And Connie Francis recently.

3. R.I.P...................

I was playing his CD this morning, just got home (10:34 am) and saw this.

[sdfernando]

4. Aww man!

I was band geek in high school and Chuck was a major influence to the band geek group I hung out with.

12. Damn. Feels So Good defined my life

When it was released, I'd just moved from Detroit to the Twin Cities for a real job. I remember listening to it for the first time at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis.

13. Hopefully his wonderful music plays in heaven now. Who can't hear that trumpet in their head when they think of him?

[3catwoman3]

14. Another Rochester area person here. Lots of musical talent in my hometown...

...and Mangione was held in high regard. He attended the world famous Eastman School of Music.

[3catwoman3]

15. Greetings from another "grew up in the Rochester area" person.

Greece Olympia grad 1969. U of R school of nursing 1973.

[Dr. T]

17. "Feels So Good" transports me back to a time

when people like Pervert Donnie had a shelf life of 5 minutes in the political arena.

Another of my youthful influencers is gone. A reminder of my own mortality.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

18. So sorry to hear this.

No doubt he is in a far better place..

❤️❤️❤️

20. Bummer news

R.I.P. Chuck. Thanks for all the soothing music you gave us.
Did a lot of studying back in college while listening to his smooth tunes.

[LudwigPastorius]

21. Chuck came into a club I was playing at during the early 80s.

He was bushed from playing a concert earlier, but was still gracious enough to sit in with us and play a tune when we asked him.

Nice guy, and funny too.

Here he is early on playing some bebop with Art Blakey and a 21 year old Keith Jarrett.

[Onthefly]

22. Saw him at Blues Alley, 1986. Wonderful show.

Chuck Mangione, with pianist Gap Mangione and tenor saxophonist Sal Nistico.

[Shambala]

23. This one hurts

So many greats hours and memories listening to Chuck Mangione.

37. My dad had several albums. I remember this piece!

I didn't remember the backing band sounding so 70's, though.

24. Oh no!

What a terrible week for musicians.

Aside from his more iconic songs, I definitely fell in love with his "Children of Sanchez" album.

"Children of Sanchez"

"Bellavilla"

Rest in power.

[mountain grammy]

25. Oh no! I loved his music..

Rest in peace.. and thanks to all who posted his music.. I'm listening and crying..

[AllyCat]

26. Sheesh. What a bad week for music.

Safe passage sir.

[Torchlight]

27. Children of Sanchez

Beautiful, impromptu, and half-made up on the spot. A favorite of mine.

[leftstreet]

31. +1

[Starseer]

28. Another great one lost.

It was lovely seeing him referenced in Doctor Strange.

[soldierant]

32. My DH turned 82 yesterday.

But it was already some years ago when he started wanting to discuss his last wishes. At his funeral he wants life-affirming music. He likes a very broad spectrum on music, so his choices include Georg Philippe Telemann and Jose Carreras. But he wants the final piece - he last word - to be Mangione's "Give It All You've Got." (I have made a file of mp3s and also burned a CD.) Thank you, Chuck.
