| Throughout the 1970's, Chuck Mangione was a celebrity. His purposely lightweight music was melodic pop that was upbeat, optimistic and sometimes uplifting. A whole genration only knows of him from the running gag on the animated show "King Of The Hill." His biggest hit was a disco crossover instrumental. "Feels So Good" is still a staple on many pop and MOR radio stations. Mangione gradually faded out of the music scene. In the 1970's Chuck Mangione recorded for Mercury and A&M; in the 1980's he had a couple of very forgettable Columbia albums and had not been heard from in the 1990's until a 1997 comeback tour found him in good form, having a reunion with his "Feels So Good" band. "The Feeling's Back" album followed in 1999. |
