Mangione was born to Italian-American parents in Rochester, New York, where he grew up. He came to prominence as a member of Art Blakey's band in the 1960s, and later co-led the Jazz Brothers with his brother, Gap, achieving international success in 1978 with his jazz-pop single "Feels So Good." He released more than 30 albums, beginning in the 1960s. He also appeared in various television shows, including a recurring role on King of the Hill. Career: Mangione played with Art Blakey's band in the 1960s. He and his brother Gap led the Mangione Brothers Sextet/Quintet, who recorded three albums for Riverside Records before Mangione branched out with other work. One of his compositions for the Mangione Brothers Sextet, "Something Different," was recorded by Cannonball Adderley on Adderley's 1961 album "African Waltz." Mangione attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester from 1958 to 1963 where he started playing the flugelhorn. He then joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, filling the trumpet chair previously held by Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Dorham, Bill Hardman, and Lee Morgan. In the late 1960s, Mangione was a member of the National Gallery, a band. In 1968, the band released the album "Performing Musical Interpretations of the Paintings of Paul Klee." He served as the director of the Eastman jazz ensemble from 1968 to 1972. In 1970, he recorded the album "Friends and Love" in concert with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and guest performers. Mangione's quartet with saxophonist Gerry Niewood was a popular concert and recording act throughout the 1970s. "Bellavia," recorded during the collaboration won Mangione his first Grammy Award in 1977 in the category Best Instrumental Composition. "Bellavia" was used by WHAS-TV in Louisville, Kentucky as background music for school closings; it was first used during the Blizzard of 1978. In addition to his quartet with Niewood, Mangione had much success with his later-1970s ensemble, with Chris Vadala on saxophones and flutes, Grant Geissman on guitars, Charles Meeks on bass guitar, and James Bradley Jr. on drums. This version of Mangione's band recorded and toured behind the hit studio albums "Feels So Good" and "Fun and Games" and the Children of Sanchez soundtrack. Some band members participated in the "Tarantella" benefit concert in 1980. The song "Feels So Good" became a rare instrumental Top Ten hit, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. Mangione's composition "Chase the Clouds Away" was used at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec. His composition "Give It All You Got" was the theme to the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York. He performed it live on a global television broadcast at the closing ceremonies. In 1978, Mangione composed the soundtrack for the film "The Children of Sanchez" starring Anthony Quinn. This album won him his second Grammy, in the category Best Pop Instrumental performance in 1979. In 1980, Current Biography, a magazine, called "Feels So Good" the most recognized tune since "Michelle" by the Beatles. With the ticket sales from his 60th-birthday concert held in 2000 at Rochester's Eastman Theatre, Mangione raised more than $50,000 for St. John's Nursing Home. In 2009, Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mellett, two members of Mangione's band, were killed in the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 outside of Buffalo, New York. Mangione retired in 2015.
