Feels So Good - Chuck Mangione

Feels So Good [single version] - Chuck Mangione
3:32
Feels So Good, 1977
Written by Chuck Mangione

I became aware, looking through the social media, that Chuck Mangione died on the 22nd.  The Blizzard of Ozzy overshadowed this news, but I think he's worth a tribute, though I know virtually nothing about him.  The pop jazz trumpeter only reached my consciousness through his self-effacing appearances on "King of the Hill."  This version is the single edit; the album version is over nine minutes, and I don't think I could sit through many instrumentals that long that aren't by Miles Davis.  Anyway, this is an upbeat, poppy melody, very much of its smooth '70s era.  Yacht-pop-jazz!
