OT: RIP Chuck Mangione
- Thread starter DJ Spanky
- Start date
RIP, I had the “Feels So Good” album when I was at RU back in the ‘70’s. Bad week for entertainers.
RIP. I loved Chuck Mangione back in the day. I think I saw him play live twice at The Ritz Theater in Elizabeth in the late 70's / early 80's. Feels So Good was a song of the 70's.
Everyone likes Feels So Good but "Give it All You Got" is my fave and will always be synonymous with the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics
RIP to a talented musician who also gained fame in the 90s and 00s on King of the Hill

Can anyone explain how we went from adult music on the pop charts to total trash post starting in the late 90s
Did someone say intellectual property? I'm here. I'm cheap. I'm good. That line never worked so well at Olde Queens, but let's see how it goes.does @willisneverrana43 know you are encroaching on his intellectual property?
Well if Willis didn’t, Cioffi sure as hell didn’t.does @willisneverrana43 know you are encroaching on his intellectual property?
He played the Barn in 1980/81?
Was dating a girl who was part of security and ended up meeting him backstage. Seemed like a cool guy.

I had to listen to him, my Mom made sure I did under protest. She had that dude on 8 track.
yep about this time we lost the plot and it never came back. I am going to chalk it up to music going digital and then the advent of the smartphone ruined everything
I honestly don't give a ****does @willisneverrana43 know you are encroaching on his intellectual property?
Lack of knowledge is not a defense. You may have a claim. These guys are good too, but not cheap like me.
I loved this story about someone on the PSU board's interaction with him...

After three straight years of Super Bowl appearances in 1991, 1992, and 1993, I was committed to seeing the Bills play in the postseason and was convinced that this was the year! I had seen them pl…

Geez, another OT thread by this "moderator?" I think he's trying to break his own record from the old site before this one gets shut down for low traffic.

Huge fan but I mispronounced his name without the E for for way longer then I should have. Saw him once late in his career.
gonna guess population bubble? As one pop bubble gets older they stop buying music and listen to the old stuff.. and a new pop bubble starts buying what's different and new to differentiate themselves from the past... the phase where all music required a cool music video to be sucessful and you can see how the music itself became secondary to the look of the "musicisians" and "vocalists".
I agree regarding the “visualization” effect on pop music. I’ve often mentioned that there is something of an inverse relationship between the increasing visual importance in music and declining musicality and creativity. There are some very talented musical acts out there currently that are making good music. You just don’t find it in the mainstream pop/rock world. The good news is that there are more ways than ever to find the good stuff.
There were plenty of adult type music on the charts in 60s thru 90s. Its totally gone now
back then the idea of programming to appeal to the very young was not yet thought of. the business schools were working on planned obsolence before they would tell the world that marketing to kids was the way to go.. in the 60s, teens dressed older like their moms... today moms and even grannies want to dress like teens.
Thought of but only slowly implemented. The Monkees were the "pioneers" and hated by all with kid sisters. Followed by the Kiss Army for the middle schoolers
