Top Ten Instrumentals: Feels So Good (#2)

Tweet

For most of you, the countdown ends today, because you won’t know tomorrow’s song…and you’ll probably be surprised by the artist. But today’s song? Top ten music time! I think this will be blasted in the Jersey Shore…. #2: Feels So Good - Chuck Mangione This song was so “right place, right time” for me. We were living in Daytona Beach, and I was out of school. This song was perfect for walking on the beach…or sitting on the beach…or walking on the causeway…or doing anything…or doing nothing. “Feels So Good” was my introduction to “jazz fusion,” or “smooth jazz,” or whatever they call it. You see, I’m not a jazz enthusiast, so I can’t hear two notes and tell you what era and style it is the way I can with country music. That doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it, though! Chuck Mangione was one of our music losses this year. He recorded lots of good music in his career (and he even voiced himself on King of the Hill), but if this is all he’s remembered for, it’s a great song to serve that purpose. Feels So Good Written by Chuck Mangione Recorded by Chuck Mangione From Feels So Good, 1977 So appropriately titled!
