It was in 1965, when Mangione started to play in the trumpet sections of the Woody Herman and Maynard Ferguson bands, and later that year joined Art Blakey, with whom he remained until 1967. After leaving Blakey, he again formed his own small band and was making albums that earned him enormous success. Mangione started to exploit his flugehorn more, eventually abandoning the trumpet altogether in favor of the more mellow-sounding instrument. He reached international stardom with his hit singles “Feels So Good” and “Land Of Make Believe”. The former became a Top 5 hit on the US pop charts in 1978, while the album of the same name climbed to number 2 on the Billboard 200. After a long hiatus from the public eye, he would return to stage in the late 90s, subsequently recording for Chesky Records. What’s more, he would gain an another kind of acclaim as a recurring character on the long-running Fox animated show King of the Hill.
