Chuck Mangione, Feels So Good.

Has there been a time since '77-'78 when so many jazz artists had charting hits? (Weather Report, Mangione, George Benson, just off the top of my head.)
Let's get right to it.

definitely a peak. the '80s had Spiro Gyra.

Did AL just say "Gilda Radnich"? LOL.

a bit of a rum start from my POV, but we finished up quite nicely.

Today's backsell was kinda amusing for a few reasons:

a) Annalisa pronounced "Mangione" like a good Italian should.

b) Did she say Gilda Radnich?

c) "Bruuuuuuce...Jenner!" Take that, FP.

We both commented on it, so I guess she did. (Long-lost cousin of Gary?)

someone (not FP) said "I guess we're not getting any Bruce" and I replied "We did -- just the wrong one."

Chicago

I'd classify them as brass rock, but certainly in later years they crossed over into the smuv jazz category.

Oy: The Dead want a woman 'bout twice they age.  I need a miracle too, but this wasn't it.
While I like hearing this on the radio, it has some negative connotations.  All those dirt surfers around the concerts, holding up the "I Need a Miracle" sign for free tickets.
