This has been a rough week. I am sad to announce that an old friend, mentor and great musician and composer, Charles (Chuck) Mangione died today in his sleep at his home in Rochester NY. He was 84. He had many musical achievements culminating in his induction to the Rochester Music Hall of Fame. To most people he was known for his hit “Feels so Good”. To me it will always be the Friends and Love concert performed with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in May 1970 and the song “Hill Where the Lord Hides. Can’t get any better than that. I was row 1 front and center. It was the best concert , to this day, that I have ever attended. Meeting and learning from him is a memory that will forever remain with me. Rest in peace old friend. You will never be forgotten as long as the music plays. God Speed
Charles ( Chuck ) Mangione November 29, 1940 – July 22, 2025 You will be missed old friend
