BREAKING: Chuck Mangione is DEAD to me

You might find this thread of interest

Luigi's grandfather!!

I care way more about him than Hulk Hogan.

Jesus Christ they're dropping like flies!

"Feel So Good" instantly triggers childhood memories of weekend road trips in California.

My parents loved "Feels So Good," it also brings back childhood memories from the 80s.

I loved Feels So Good. Great memories. RIP

Dropping like flies.

Who will do the megalo mart commercials now?

Oddly enough just last night my neighbor was kind of a crazy hoarder asked me to help him pull some stuff out for a yard sale he wants to do today and there was a pile of records and one of them was a chunk mangione record and I even chuckled about it.

Anyway given this week I think you better today we'd all better check in on our favorite celebrities and make sure they're doing okay.

R8 is r4 without the religious angle.

He had some hot brass, but he couldn't live forever.

Not big enough to be counted in the "threes."

R3, unlike Hulk he was actually talented

When you're feeling down and out...

A master of beautiful music.

Thank you for sharing your talent with the generations of fans who mourn your absence today.

Rest In Peace, Chuck Mangione.

Jesus Christ r11 is Captain Obvious!

Awwww. Peace, Chuck.

I was molest— aww, fuck it.

The end of the flugelhorn era.

Get the fuck out of here. What the hell is happening? RIP Chuck.

DL is starting to look like the Obituaries in my local paper.

I’m shtill here!

I’m suddenly REALLY scared, guv’nor!

Ok, now I'm convinced there's a KOTH curse.

Dick Van Dyke is next. I'm calling it now.

I hope so, R26!

Someone check on Herb Alpert!!

Jesus Penis.

Loved the music he produced.

[quote]Someone check on Herb Alpert!!

That bastard tried to make me eat a sandwich once. Fuck him.

I’ve had a dream of having Herb push his Tijuana Brass into my Tijuana Taxi and covering me in his — wait for it — whipped cream.

I RISE every time I think about it.

Gotta admit, Herb was hot.

Susan Dey cannot keep up. So, no comment.

New York Times obit.

He was a very talented musician. RIP.

Ok so that’s two today, with Hulk Hogan. Who will be number three??

I guess he didn't feel so good.

Damn he didn’t make it to the new season of King.of the Hill

I recall reading that after Feel So Good came out and he got super famous, he became a complete nightmare. But for the life of me I can’t find any stories about it.

Anyway….

Hill Where the Lord Hides is my favorite song of his. Love for a fellow Upstate NYer. He was born in Rochester.

Nice try, donald r39.

Not a huge name, but here's #3 for the day.

Last Surviving Cast Member of 'Hogan's Heroes' Dies at 89.

Though some of the supporting cast is still alive.

Chuck Mangione is supposedly doing the great trumpet break on this classic disco track from the Andrea True Connection. (Don't let Andrea True's dance stylings and the vocals about her porn career distract you from the reason we're here.)

One of the local TV stations in my hometown played a Chuck Mangione song, "Bellavia," as they scrolled the school and business closings during snowstorms. All Gen Xers and Millennials who grew up in that area instantly associate it with waiting anxiously to see the name of their school district float by, awarding them with a day off from school. I've heard stories about Mangione flying into a rage every time he met someone who told him that story. Apparently he wrote that song to honor his beloved mother, and it pissed him off to hear that we only think of it as the school closing theme.

Rest easy, Chuck. Sorry we got on your nerves. Our hearts were in the right place.

r43 That is one of the greatest pop songs of all time, imho.

I've been getting into some of that 70s jazz stuff and loved his music. RIP

So sad. Not feelin so good

Chuck Mangione, Kenny G, and George Benson, IMO popularized the Soft Jazz genre.

Sometimes that type of music just hits the spot.

He was only two awards shy of the EGOT.

Totally. He produced a FUCK TON of music too

He let Shirley MacLaine do a rap song on one of his albums *shudder*.

[quote] He let Shirley MacLaine do a rap song on one of his albums *shudder*.

One can only imagine what Shirley MacLane did to Chuck Mangione for that privilege.

Did he like the homosexual where the man go upinto the man?

Needless to say, it will be much worse when Yanni goes.

Number 17

Chuck Mangione Compilation | King of the Hill

more varied and interesting than "smooth jazz"

He never married or had children?

um, R59... if you an obituary, you'll find the answer to your question. And if you're just too lazy to google for one... I really cannot help.

R3- I care more about Richard Simmons than either Hulk Hogan or Chuck Mangione .

I miss Richard Simmons.

Happy homo

R60 bitch I read the NPR obituary and it didn’t mention anyone in his life.

He had two daughters

R63, then go to The New York Times. Survivors listed...
