24 July 2025 (Special Edition) - Chuck Mangione - Give It All You Got

Our last THREE posts are special editions.  What a terrible time. 

The most famous fluegelhorn player is best known for the megahit "Feels So Good", but the native Rochesterarian did a lot more than that.  For instance, he wrote the official theme for the 1980 Olympic Winter Games, held in Lake Placid, just a few hours from Rochester. 

And he performed it there, too.  But the poster won't let us embed that, so here's his performance of "Give It All You Got" from that Games's closing ceremonies. 



Mangione passed away this week, and he will be missed.
